By Werner Almesberger, atusb/atusb.pro: we don't use power.lib anymore
1Board characteristics:
2
3- stacking: 2 layers, solder mask on front and back, silk screen on front
4- board material: FR4, thickness 0.8 mm (1/32"), 1 oz copper
5- surface finish: TBD, ENIG is preferred
6- via holes: diameter is nominally 10 mil, but any size <= 15 mil can be used
7- ground via of the antenna: hole diameter is nominally 8 mil, but any size
8  <= 15 mil can be used
9- mechanical tolerances: <= +/- 0.1 mm on all sides
10- the holes for the positioning pins of the USB connector have a nominal
11  diameter of 1.15 mm. The minimum finished hole size must be 1.10 mm,
12  maximum 1.25 mm.

15Hole for the USB connector:

17The USB connector extends below (!) the surface of the PCB. For SMT, a
1816-17 mm hole must be left next to the PCB's edge:

50Interpretation of files:
51
52- for all coordinates, the origin is the lower left corner of the board
53- do not print component values on silk screen
54- the center (!) of the board edge line marks the true board edge, e.g.,
