It was kind of tricky to assemble the aluminum plates and plastic bumper, but I finally got it all together. You'll probably want needle-nose tweezers to get the standoffs installed if you're using the bumper (which replaces the set of washers that goes underneath the PCB).

It's very nice! It looks like it has firmware 0.88 installed already.

It would be great if the bumper had some kind of knock-out to expose the programming header, kind of like the battery slot, and also some rubber plugs to put in those two slots to keep debris out. As it is now, I'll have to totally disassemble it if I need to update the firmware. I'll probably Dremel an opening for the programming cable the first time I have to open it for an update.

Are there instructions for assembling the programming cable adapter? I can't tell from looking at it which side of the PCB each set of pins needs to be soldered on.

On the AVR Programming Adaptor Image Gallery, you can get an idea of how to connect it.

I totally agree with your suggestions for the 3d bumper case. I will add a hole to access programming. And see if I can add covers to the holes.

Thanks for the feedback.
