Hello,

Thank you for developing this project, I have found it very helpful for use with an Agilent 66309D Mobile Communications DC Source.

These two commits are as follows:

First, update to KiCad 8.0.4, update BOM for Digi-Key parts, and add assembly instructions. I had qty 10 assembled by PCBWay.com, and they found during assembly that the GPIB connector Pin 1 orientation was not correct. The second commit fixes the pinout of the connector in the schematic, and pin 1 is correctly oriented in the layout. To be clear, the GPIB connector can simply be installed and works fine with the old PCB layout, it's just that the square hole goes to pin 11 on the connector rather than pin 1.

I haven't fabbed new boards with the second commit.

Take care,
Howard
