This one came out very quick, since I had most of the parts from my previous build.
It's a very nice board, have great plans for it.

3 notes;
-Everything hand soldered.
-I'm using a REG113NA-3.3 from TI, it's a 400ma LDO, before finding it, I was using my bus pirate as a power supply to program the pic.

-Need to find a smaller quartz! The one on the previous picture was defective.

Thanks Ian!

That's a bad-ass quartz! :)
Heh, nice job with the crystal. :P
In another thread the person attached a through hole oscillator to SMD contacts, so if you have a shorter quartz that is through hole, might be worth a shot.

Thanks hak8or,
The one I'm using now is trough hole, what I normally do is to take out the plastic part from a smd crystal, put it in the trough hole and bend the pins.
This time I couldn't find a smaller one in my junkbox.
Ah, everyone seems to know these cool tricks but me. :(
Well, I personally find the crystal looking cool that way, I for some odd reason prefer the tall crystals instead of the super short SMD ones.
