The assignment this week is to remake the Hello World board with an LED and button added. I added a button and a red light. See the pictures of my board below. It was designed in Eagle, which was not very difficult to learn. This is actually my 7th version of the board. I wanted to place the button on the other side, but couldn't come up with a workable design. I decided not to use an extra resistor for my button and instead use the pull up resistor in the microcontroller. Also, the first few boards I milled had very thin traces that gave me a little trouble. I had to go back and redraw them thicker.

My board ready to be stuffed.
