Excellent breakout for rapid prototyping
I purchased both the ATtiny85 and ATtiny84 breakout from Bot Thoughts Store at Tindie and I am very happy! I use both of these tiny AVR chips in many of my robotics/electronics projects and having breakouts that fit directly into breadboard makes (re)programming and prototyping very easy. Soldering the kit together was simple (all SMD components are pre-populated, just need to attach DIP socket, headers and switch) and both work without problem. (I am using a USBtiny ISP programmer).
I think the advantage of the separate breakout for each tiny chip as opposed to more universal mega/tiny programmers is that you can (re)program the chips easily within your prototype. No need to remove it from breadboard!

Nice accessory to kit
Header pins are not soldered to board. Good to go after that. Shipped quickly.

Just what the title says
Come without header pins soldered to the board. Switches have a good positive feel.

Thanks for the review. These are the same switches I use on the eeZee Tiny and eeZee Prop breakout boards.

Great customer support! This board is a winner. Great layout & craftsmanship. A valuable addition to my proto tools.
Allows full functionality and easy access to on board peripherals. Sound documentation. Finally allows me to populate my breadboard with the components my project will utilize.
Great product, will be adding more.

8-pin ATtiny breakout, target board
It's a very good breakout board.
The price is very good too.
Italian people must be awaiting a lot of days (30-40).
However I think that this kind of product is worth waiting.
Prodotto ottimo.
Per le spedizioni dagli USA in Italia bisogna attendere 30-40 giorni (non è colpa del venditore).
Se non c'e' fretta ne vale la pena.

Nice Board
Good quality board, nice layout. I only wish the pads for the chip socket were a little larger. Also, rounded corners would be nice. It was a perfect no-jumper target board for programming a few ATTiny2313V's. I'd recommend this to anyone.

The new version features bevel cut corners. I'll make a note to revise the chip socket pads when it's time to restock. Thanks for the feedback!

Awesome
Fantastic little device. I had been looking for one for a long time until I found this. I will probably be getting another couple in the near future.

Great Board
If it were big enough to make the crystal an option. Many people use the Tiny's with the internal oscillator. This board makes the oscillator mandatory. This ties up two pins that might be otherwise be I/O and for my use relegates it to a programmer board for programming devices and recovering others that were programmed for a crystal oscillator. Not one of my favorite 84 breakout boards.

Thanks for the feedback. Based on your input I went ahead and launched Tindie fundraisers for no-crystal versions of this board https://www.tindie.com/products/bot_thoughts/attiny244484-breakout-board-no-crystal/ --Michael

Not one of my favorite X313 breakout boards. Good quality though, Very Good Quality. The same high level of quality as the 84 board.

This is
What I've been looking for. I like to write little things for Tiny's and this makes a lot of my work just go away. I can keep it plugged into my Arduino ISP programmer plugged in and just unplug it from the PCB to reprogram the chip... Cool.

Deceptively simple
This USB Breadboard power module is one of those things that seems so obvious and so simple that it's easy to overlook. But while it certainly is simple, apparently it's only obvious in retrospect because I've never seen anything like it.
Do you *need* it? Probably not, in the sense that you can get by without it, just as I've been doing. But people also got by before pencils had erasers, or plastic bags were resealable, or gas caps attached to the car with a cord so you can't leave it on top of the pump.
This really is like those things: It may not count as a major technological breakthrough, but then again, it's priced accordingly. And when it's doing its job you barely notice it -- unless you think back to all the hassle it has eliminated.

this thing rocks!
Made it super easy to hook up an SD card to my DIY CNC project. Awesome job mate!

Simple. Clever. Perfect.
Sometimes you find something that's just so simple and obvious, it makes perfect sense. Michael's ATtiny breakout boards are just that. A single board to program and prototype with rather than swapping the uC between programming shield and breadboard. They are dead easy to assemble and come with everything you need (just add ATtiny!). It's a cliche, but you will want to collect the whole set.

Great board!
The propeller is an awesome microcontroller, and this breakout makes it quick and easy to put a prototype together on a breadboard; couldn't be happier!
