This is my very first circuit...I'm trying to design a board for personal use, so I have very specific little slots, as you'll soon see...It uses a ATmega 168 microcontroller. I haven't put in the serial port thingy yet; Also, I've left a couple of Digital ports not plugged into anything, which isn't terribly bad, just a waste. :P
Could somebody do me a favor and check over my circuit for anything terribly wrong? And then maybe some tips on how to make it better? :P
Again, this is for personal use; I know I'm not going to plug this thing into another controller and combine the 2, so I'm not including an ISCP plug. Also, I know I can also use the TX and RX plugs as digital ports, but I'm choosing not to simply because I have plenty of other digital ports I can use. Also, I'll be running lots of tests, and will need to send serial data to see the data.

...anybody?

A little patience goes a long way. I, for one, do not have eagle loaded on my computer at home, so can;t even think to look at what you came up with until I meander into work Monday afternoon. Creating a jpg or png image of your schematic or board layout would probably go some way in getting you a quicker response.

Yea the best way to get a schematic reviewed is post an image of it. Also, wait more than 2 hours for a reply :P

So how do you plan to program it, then?

Well, I'd love to help you but I'm more of a "trial and error" kinda guy when it comes to electronics. My rule of thumb: If the circuit smells, you're in trouble. :o
