Hi Andrew,
This is wonderful! As expected, Saar has done a wonderful job of re-creating the Little-Wire. Sadly I won't be able to make it to OSHCamp this year so I'll stick a couple of these on my next PCB order.
A minor suggestion -- and this is mostly because I am paranoid about power -- would be to add an extra capacitor to the USB power net, to act as a reservoir in case the host is noisy. There are some really low profile 22-33uF electrolytic capacitors that will do the job nicely.
This is primarily for the case where you use LW to power external circuitry. Since the intended use for a LW is a debugger/development tool, eliminating the possibility of noisy power is a good idea (one less thing to worry about when you are bringing up a custom design!).
Cheers, Omer.

Hi All,
Saar has come up with a very cool board design for a kit which is going into the OSHCamp 2013 / Wuthering Bytes goody bag:

This is essentially Ihsan's LittleWire board, re-spun via Saar's PCBmodE, for added wonky track goodness along with other artistic flourishes.
Feedback is welcomed and in particular on functional considerations!
Cheers,
Andrew
