The next generation of DigiSpark

Digisparks, powered by the low cost ATTiny85 Chip, are known for their low price : performance ratio.

They are low cost and quite effective.

However, the design for them is just terrible.

This is a refreshed design. It fits comfortably onto a breadboard, with 2 4 pin strips.

There's an optional resonator slot, but other than that, it's super easy to assemble:

Headers, capacitator, resistor, push button, and the ATTiny itself.

The only drawback is that it uses ICSP to program, but this is better because using VUSB takes up valuable resources the ATtiny is not able to provide.

It's also backwards compatible with ATtiny 25 and 45.

This design has 2 power strips at the bottom, so you won't ever need to worry about lack of power pins, and it's very cheap, especially with PCBWay's low prices and high quality.

I've been doing microcontrollers for some time, and I think this board can pose as a board designed for low cost application prototyping, with little hardware requirements.

An example would be a student making a prop for a theater class. Many students begin with a firefly acting workshop.

This board would not break the bank, and small enough to fit in a mason jar.

This is just one possibility, and the possibilities are endless.

With PCBway's excellent PCB quality and low costs, this will be affordable and durable, making it a go to board for everyone.
