So with the latest HUGE response I have gotten of 95+ people wanting one board or  more.
I  will have to order more parts and order a larger number or batch 1 boards.
The latest design that I have sent out to have 9 prototypes made with the Dorkbotpdx.com board order .
I should be getting the prototypes in a week or so.
After I have verified that the design has no major problems I will send out for a big board order from a board house 150 +boards

Changes:

• MicroSD cart part changed.
• Trace cleaning up
• Led for Debugging or anything you want
• Jumper for D6 removed and jumper for cart detect added

Details of the ordering:

3 options will be available.

1. Bare PCB
2. Un-soldered kit form
3. Fully soldered and tested cart

I am looking at the option to partner  up with sparkfun.com possibly.

some changes made to reduce costs

• Replaced switches with a jumper, only D5 is needed to boot from the UART
• header added so any of the UART to usb adapters can be used
