 |
| Added mounting holes, slot for rj-45 jack and connectors to mount rj-45 mini board |
 |
| RJ-45 board with jack and connectors installed, mounting holes setup |

Here is the schematic for the project. Its a start, some things will be added, removed as needed.
 |
| Vers 1.0 |
 |
| Idea for component layout. Still undecided on a switch and location. |
 |
| Mounting holes drilled and board installed. |
 |
| Cutout RJ-45 port for case and lid |
 |
| Cutout for switch and 2 LEDs on box, lid only has switch cutout done. |
 |
| Lid work completed for switch, LEDs WIP |
 |
| Found a website that has perfboard paper in PDF format. It has worked out well using it to layout components. |
 |
| Component layout ideas |
 |
| Thinking about using card connectors to allow easy component replacement. |
 |
| Schematic with a few notes |
Heres the code used for the Attiny85 CAT5 tester
================================================================

int led1 = 0;
int led2 = 1;
int led3 = 2;
int led4 = 3;
int led5 = 4;
void setup() {
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
