Sneak peak: TinyLoadr Shield 3.0 prototype

I’ve been pretty busy lately, but one thing I’ve been playing with is an experimental new version of my ArduinoISP Deluxe TinyLoadr Shield. Here’s a sneak peak at the bare PCB. FYI, all of those traces are hand-routed. This is my first PCB with surface-mount components.

If you’re on the fence about buying a shield already, fear not. This is a very early version, and after pricing out the components needed, it is highly unlikely that it will even go into production at this point. Ah well, back to the drawing board.

New Theme!

Posted by Jeff Murchison on June 3, 2013 No comments

I was getting pretty tired of the old look of this blog, so I decided to bring it back to life with a new theme. Please bare with me while I tweak the look of it over the next little while. All the posts are still here, at the same URLs, so don’t worry. Hopefully this new format will encourage me to post more often.

Tired of using a breadboard and setting it up with a crystal and caps every time I wanted to program a barebones ATmega328P or an ATtiny, I decided to make this shield. Read the rest of this entry
