I've got the PCBs manufactured, and all of the parts except the mp3 decoder chip, which should arrive during spring break.
The only holding me back is programming the MCU. If somebody could point me in the direction of a cheap programmer or one I could make myself, i'd appreciate it.
I sure hope that parts list was up to date Oh and Advanced Circuits treats you VERY well.

I'm curious about the PCB too. Where did you have the PCB made, and what did they need to make the board for you? I've never really played with Eagle at all, so I'm not really familiar with it. I've opened the board and schematic file, but that doesn't seem like the kind of format a board manufacturer would need. Can you possibly write up a step-by-step of what you need to have a board etched and drilled, and how you went about getting it?
Thanks.
