After playing with passive components and analog circuits for a couple years, I decided it was time to return to programming microcontrollers. I etched these little circuit boards to make it quicker to program the six ATmel chips I was interested in: ATmega328, ATtiny2313, ATtiny861, ATtiny85, and ATtiny84.
