Good on you. It really gripes me when open hardware projects use something like Eagle for the schematic/pcb flow. The current object of my derision for doing that is the RepRap foundation. Today there are at least two reasonable choices for open source schematic and pcb design -- why do open

Very nice design. I see you have managed to keep it to a single layer board. Very tough to do with so many signal pins. Now I need to design a shield for it that control motor driver H-bridges to control a practice robot for our FIRST FRC competition! Mike

Hello all, Thanks for the appreciation you have given. The main reason for me to redesign the Arduino was the closed tool used in its present design. Open Hardware projects should use free software for their designs. Even the tool used for hardware design must be open or else
