LED Shoes
Intro The goal for this project was to customize my siser’s shoes with LED strips. Although they were eventually never really used, this mostly gave me an excuse to design my first (actually working) PCB. Sidenote Here is a picture of my first actual PCB design. Clearly defining the ground pours with a width of zero thinking it would not matter was a mistake. Design The design idea was quite simple : essentially make my own tiny Arduino board. Since only minimal IO was needed, I decided to use the ATTiny85. With some breakout boards for the SOIC package of the ATTiny designed and ordered, prototyping was done on an Arduino Uno, then replacing it with a DIP package of the ATTiny directly on the breadboard ...
