USBmicroISP Part 2

Intro Continuing to document my USBmicroISP, based off the  USBtinyISP  from Adafruit, here is my the assembly process. My first post  detailed the why  I'm building this version, and its features.  Essentially I wanted to make it with a smaller, nicer looking enclosure and have it use a micro USB cable, not a printer USB cable.  I used much the same schematic. Assembled USBmicroISP; green means ready for programming! Parts Received I often buy the parts  FIRST, then check that I designed the board correctly by printing it out 1:1. Lining up the new, often-weird parts (the ATTiny, the XTAL, the MicroMatch connectors) made me realize I needed to rearrange the way the connectors go out of the case: Finished product.  Tight quarters in this case! Having finally received the PCBs reminds me again how amazing OSHPark is: Nicely fabricated OSHPark boards.  Notice the ATTiny IC1 is on the top layer, and the buffer IC2 is on the bottom layer.
