S2 XBee adapter for Tiny Logo and more

I have been interested in using the S2 and Tiny LOGO. The problem is you are connected by the USB cable, severely restricting the S2's movement. Phil P. has already done this but I could not wait for something to be available so I made my own version. This uses a LDO regulator which may not be so good for the high power XBee Pro but I only have the low power S1 version. The regulator does not even get warm. I made the entire adapter from junk parts including the headers from an old 2mm connector. You can make a nice version for about $10 parts from DigiKey if you can make your own circuit board with toner transfer.

    I would post the artwork for the DIY single sided circuit board but I can not attach a .XPS document file. Any ideas?

    Edit: Finally able to convert the XPS to PDF for anyone wishing to make this adapter via toner transfer. I was generous with all the trace widths and clearances. Good Luck
