8-Pin Processor board Design Available - Attiny and PIC

[David Lyon]

Hi all,

For those wanting a simple PIC or AVR processor board for their projects, I've just completed
a very simple but powerful processor board design as shown.

It might be hard to see from the PCB design but these boards feature:

 - 2 x 5-Pin broken out interface pins. Plug two Full-Size or Small-Size boards directly in.

 - A JST connector which breaks out to another board from which you can ISP program
   them. The JST connectors are just 75c each and have 8 Pins at 1mm pitch.

   This translates to a low board cost. There isn't enough space for a full 8x2.54mm ISP
   header. These should be nicer.

 - Plug these boards directly into the Raspberry-Pi Adaptor.

 - Chain them.

 - Connect peripherials directly into the top of the board, or end-to-end. Both will work
   but remember that there are only 6 I/O available on these 8 pin chips.
