Boards ordered!
10/12/2017 at 20:58 • 0 commentsRedesigned to drop the voltage regulator and use 3 to 6 volts. Note that you can't 4 AA's as that will exceed ATTiny specs as they each start closer to 1.8v.... so 3 AA's it is!
I designed and ordered via OshPark will continue when they arrive.

Disappointment - 9v battery bust
10/11/2017 at 02:37 • 0 commentsInitially I wanted to power this with a 9v battery, but the LDO voltage regulators I have draw a quiescent current of 50ua and that would make a 9v batter only last less than 170 days - and most of that power would be waisted by the regulator :-(. Since the ATTiny85 can run from 2.8->6v I'll remove the regulator and power with three AA's. *sigh*
