Updated v1.3 Schematics? #6

Do you plan to release the v1.3 schematic files? Also why not go to a dedicated usb MCU like the Atmega32u4 and avoid the serial to usb chip?

Hi there,

I've updated the release to include the schematic files.

I haven't played around with dedicated USB MCUs before, the USB stack looks a bit complex but the LUFA framework looks promising, it's just getting started which can be tedious. I'm using TinySafeBoot which supports updating the firmware of the 8515 via the serial port which is useful for this project. Also the ATmega32u4 wouldn't have enough pins for this project - it needs at least 36 or so and needs to work on 5V too.
