BitsyLED

Latest updates from the BitsyLED development efforts - After not having time for a couple months for this project, I finally could catch up on some lingering issues and released a new firmware and configurator.

This release ensures that the firmware and configurator is wired for the 1.2.1 boards by default (was still in 1.1 mode). Also I made some improvements on the serial communication interface and added some safety when writing the data into the EEPROM. This should fix the issues around locking up for a while. Tested it with about 50 writes to 1.2.1 board and it didn't lock up or was unstable.

Get it now on Github at https://github.com/flyandi/BitsyLED/releases/tag/v0.6.5

A new firmware for BitsyLED was released. 

1.03 includes full status led support as well enables status led support for the BitsyLED board 1.2.1.

Finally - my 1.2.1 boards are back from Oshpark and they look good! The footprint of this version is truly tiny but still easy to solder thanks to the 805 SMD component size. 

I also added finally an status LED to see if the board is properly responding.

The BitsyLED Configurator 0.6.2 is released which includes the presets library for an easier start.

Also did some bug fixes that were annoying like disappearing ranges, etc. 

Download the latest release at https://github.com/flyandi/BitsyLED/releases/tag/v0.6.2 for your platform.

If you have the app already installed, you don't have to worry and the update will be installed automatically.

I cleaned up the 1.2 version and created v1.2.1. The board is available at https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/B3IAiNyH and will be my last revision for now.

I created a new board that is slimmer and has SMD pad's instead of the drill pad's which gives it more flexibility. The board also comes with a status LED.

Parts

All parts available on DigiKey.com. I changed some components in this version!

• 1x ATTINY84 (Part ATTINY84A-SSURCT-ND)
• 1x Capacitor in 805 packaging (587-1304-1-ND)
• 1x Diode in SOD-123 packaging (MMSZ5231B-TP)
• 1x Blue LED in 805 packaging (150080BS75000)
• 1x Resistor in 805 packaging with value of 140ohms (Part RMCF0805FT140R)

I created the next revision of the BitsyLED board. It's smaller and has now SMD pad's instead of the drill pad's which allows greater flexibility to either solder wires directly to it or still use the spaced headers.

Please see the v1.2.1 update for the latest revision of this board.
