Gah! So the prototype worked, and all the signals on the new PCB are doing what they're supposed to. But it ain't working.

Must be a timing thing.

Don't mind me. Just grumbling out loud.

Another day, another new batch of PCBs. These ones have me slightly intimidated, but I hope to write about them soon on Machina Speculatrix.

Finding myself increasing drawn towards the #AVR 0-series #microcontrollers, especially the small but capable ATtiny1604. I'm toying with the idea of a breakout board for it. Should I do it?
