Hi all

I am looking for a simple board similar to the Auduino boards with the suface mount processor and the basics around the micro.
But looking for something for the smaller micro's and all i can find is ones that have ATMEGA micro's on them.

Is there such a thing for say the ATTiny range?

Thanks in advance.

Craig

What is the driving factor?
Physical size or actually wanting an ATTiny?
You can get surface mount ATmegas in a very small package.

Here are a couple of guys that have some ATTiny boards:

But for not much more you can get some nice surface mount ATMegas.

Just making up a project and was after something where most of the circuit board was made up except for the I/O.

Didn't need the horsepower of a mega but there isn't a lot of difference in price so it maybe better to go down that track.

Thanks heaps.
