Overview
Trinkle is an open-source printed circuit board by mage0r, from the mage0r/trinkle repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 13.6 × 23.2 mm with 12 parts on 16 nets, routed with 144 tracks and 3 vias.
It is built around the ATTINY84A-SSF. Its parts include 3 resistors, 3 connectors, 2 capacitors, 2 diodes and 1 IC. It belongs with the interfaces and adapters and microcontroller boards boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

README.mdTrinkle - The tiny breakout board for the ATTiny 84
This project is a simple breakout board for the attiny84.
So, having bulk ordered to save a bit of cash, I have a lot of these attiny 84's. They're a great, cheap little chip and sometimes you just need a few more pins than the 85 has.
This board has such features as: A Power LED, a blink LED attached to D8 and pin spacing to suit a protoboard. It lacks features like anything else.
There are three sections, the circuit design for kicad, a few photos of the finished product and some working examples..
To use this board with the arduino IDE, you're going to need an appropriate boards.txt. I've been using one from https://github.com/damellis/attiny/

Questions
How big is the Trinkle PCB?
It measures 13.6 × 23.2 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Trinkle use?
12 parts, built around the ATTINY84A-SSF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Trinkle KiCad files?
From the mage0r/trinkle repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Circuit/trinkle.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Trinkle design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask mage0r before reusing the design.
