Pixie 328

This is a very bare minimum breadboard Arduino board.

It uses a standard FTDI connector on one end to program the ATtiny85 Micro controller with, and has a ICSP header to burn the boot loader on the other end.

It also has a place for a ceramic frequency clock, and an optional reset pullup resistor.

The pull-up resistor is optional, as the internal pull-up will work, unless you expressly turn it off.

Bare minimum, and inspired by Dale Wheat's breadboard Arduino.

Questions

How big is the Pixie328 PCB?

It measures 50.8 × 20.3 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Pixie328 use?

8 parts. 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 Pixie328 KiCad files?

From the UserHackable/Pixie328 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is KiCad/Pixie328/Pixie328.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Pixie328 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask UserHackable before reusing the design.
