2) Assembly: Soldered the components on the circuit board accodring to the FabISP labeled board diagram.
3) Testing: I connected the FabISP to my computer via mini USB cable. ( No smoke/ error). However, when the FabISp was connected to the USBtiny, it showed a red light indicating error. I tried to troubleshoot the problem with no luck so I had to make another FabISP.
4) Programming: Downloaded and installed the necessary software for AVR programming (Avrdude & GCC). Connected the FabISP to a USBtiny programmer (6-pin header) and to my computer. Programmed the board.
5) Testing: The FabISP was finally recogined by my computer.
