almost nicely. BUT, the footprint is for a different type ;-) Good enough for a prototype. What you can't see: there's an ATtiny85 on the bottom side that will do the decoding. The firmware will support "step / direction" output or send status changes via serial. The push-button can be used to switch between various modes. If I can figure out how to program this thing without having a 2.00mm ISP connector, I might have a half-pleasant weekend ahead of me. Lots of code-recycling should speed things up a lot.

I don't have the luxury of living next to a mouser or digikey warehouse, so I can't get a 2.00mm header "just like that". There is an electronics shop in town, but it only stocks the more common things - definitely nothing SMD.
