USB cable tester

I want something usb stick thingy-ish to check a usb cable

A little ATtiny45, some LEDs and transistors - battery powered. It scans through the cable with some blinking LEDs, then goes to sleep.

USB cable tester | New Revision

Today I went sorting through some USB cables, but before I could test anything, I had to solder the third and last of the boards that I had ordered years ago. The micro-B USB socket held for 15 cables before I had to add glue because it got loose [log for board 2]. So I decided to update some parts on the PCB and shift things around. 

Check out this old space ship of a schematic:

And here is the (hopefully improved) new schematics, I think it's more readible, but not everyone is a fan of too many labels. 

There's still one pin left on the Attiny, anyone any ideas for it?
