Hardware files for probUSBis board.
This board is heavily inspired and based off of the LittleWire and DigiSpark projects, with some little features of my own added to it.
The files are being made in KiCAD, but PDFs of the schematics will be made for releases.
Link to the Hackaday Projects page for this thing.
I have also made some code to run on this board in my probUSBis_programs repository.
here is an image of the rev_a1 schamatic:

##WARNING!
- rev_a1 has a serious PCB error! The layout for the USB_A_MALE connector is flipped due to accidentally using a female layout.
- Solutions:
- if you still want a male USB plug on the board, you can solder it upside down, with pins sticking up into the bottom of the board.
- Just don't use a male USB plug, and solder a suface mount female mini USB B jack on the top of the board in the designated location.

Questions
How big is the ProbUSBis a1 PCB?
It measures 44.5 × 23.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the ProbUSBis a1 use?
26 parts, built around the LM78L05ACZ and JUMPER3. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the ProbUSBis a1 KiCad files?
From the emdarcher/probUSBis_hardware repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is rev_a1/probUSBis_a1.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the ProbUSBis a1 design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask emdarcher before reusing the design.
