I mean add 3.3V, so you can use part with that voltage easily (original
Arduino takes 5V and 3.3V from FTDI chip). I don't know what option is the
best, maybe Vasile's suggestion about a "3.3V LDO as BA033 from Rohm" is
nice. I'll let you decide ;)

My mistake, I measured wrong...

OK!

Awesome :)

OK, great

OK I had a look but I have few time right now so I'll check deeply later,
but it looks very nice. I'm afraid I won't be able to build a new one this
WE, no laser printer, and, worst, no more copper board...

Thanks for this !

Cheers,
Seb
