ATtinyX5
The ATtiny25, ATtiny45 and ATtiny85 (and ATtiny13a) are the smallest AVR chips and they are all pin compatible. It is an easy and inexpensive way to get started. I created a basic breakout board and some shields to demonstrate how to program these small, but powerful chips.
My Designs
Breakout board for ATtiny25, ATtiny45 and ATtiny85 (and ATtiny13a). It has a 6-pin ISP header, all the data pins are lined-up for easy usage, reset button, and JST power.
The bridge connects the breakout board with the actually project. It puts a resistor on each data pin.
Similar to the original MiniPOV - 5 LEDs connected to all the data pins. Great to learn about programming and just debugging of some code. Needs a board and a bridge.
20 LEDs Charlieplexed. Needs a board and a bridge.
19 LEDs Charlieplexed. Needs a board and a bridge.
This simple shield turn the board into a full-fledged TV-B-Gone.
