Improvements for next version #1

Capacitor on AREF is not essential, but 100nF is recommended for ADC stability. It seems there is some room next to C1 (if you make C1 the AREF capacitor and add a new one for VCC between C1 and U3, moving U3 a bit).

Exposing the reset pin on a header seems tricky in the layout. This could be a normal 2.54mm jumper header to reset using a jumper or other stuff (keys). Or just pads, a bit closer together, so you can reset using keys or similar tools without having to solder on pins? Might not be entirely reliable, with pins is probably easier. It seems there is some room in the top right, next to the power jumper to put a reset jumper, routing the RESET line on the top between pin 1 and 2 of the power jumper.
