I wanted to have the same nice features as the Arduino has.
- Led as power indicator
- Led connected to Pin13 for debugging
- Resetswitch

The Leds are connected through a resistor to +5V and Pin13
The ResetButton is connected to Gnd and the ResetPin

I used a 820ohm resistor for small power consumption and right brightness.
I = U/R = 5V/820ohm = 6mA

I used some epoxy to cover the leds, hold the button and give the board a smooth surface.

That's it.

Hey Mauseju... if you read this, you'll soon be the owner of the second board I just made for you ;-))
