A quick solder board for the DBG_LED header on Xbox 360 Xenon motherboards. Breaks out the various debug lights + SMC heartbeat so you don't have to hand solder SMD components.

0.8mm FR4. You can add a pin header to J1F1 or snip the board down the middle of the header holes for a ghetto castellated holes setup. Make sure to deburr the result with a file.
Gerbers are located in the dbg_led_gerber folder, or you can upload the zip file directly to JLC.
Uses 0603 "hand solder" footprints, it's recommended to use 0603 LEDs and resistors but 0805 will work in a pinch. I used Amazon spec yellow LEDs and 1k resistors as a test, and everything appeared to work.
Hand soldering is a pain, though. Use a hotplate, hot air, or a toaster oven for easy assembly.
