Here ya go!

Those look clean! I ordered a set of the PCBs. It’s my first attempt at populating a blank PCB. 
 

  May I ask what method you use to solder the components? I have a pencil tip for my T12, but would I be better off using a hot air station instead?

To anyone wondering, it is definitely much cheaper and easier to just buy these than try to build them yourself.

How about a v2 / micro version of the chip by putting the SST on the other side of the PCB?

Got a Gerber ?

and here I was thinking project Stellar was dead... great job!

Thank you!  Made one very DUMB mistake… soldered onto the pogo pins while they were compressed…. In pla… pins sunk into plastic and now I have to make another one.  Lessons learned!

Dtomcat18 that looks great! Two questions, (1) do you have the pin out for the jtag for this PCB? (2) can you tell me the spacing of the pads? I figure I can order of these guys;

[1.6 cap replacement, no boot]

H all,

  I attempted to recap a 1.6 . I thought things went alright, however instead it no longer works at all. 
 

  When I first saw plug it in the LED on the Aladdin lights as usually, but quicks dims out. After unplugging and waiting a bit, and then again trying again, the  Aladdin lights again then off again. 

I’m guessing one or more the caps didn’t flow to trace or something. Is that what I should expect with a missing cal?
