Short update.

OK, I love the Attiny series of micro controllers. I love Atmel. But their USI hardware always bites me in the butt..

So I have a spare MSP430G2553 sitting on my desk. I have already created the I2C master library for another project I was using this micro controller on. We shall see how this goes.

On the Atmel front, I have found a few library's that are pretty awesome for debugging etc. They are from the Tinysaur project, owowod library. This allows for a single RX pin to help with debugging. pretty sweet. 

So I will be transferring most of the code over to a code composer project. We should have a clock shortly.

I will make another project log detailing the use of the 74HC595's and rastering etc.
