Atmel ATtiny85 with Shift Register


My first successful attempt using a prototype PCB to house electronic components.

I have an Atmel ATtiny85 with an HC595N shift register.

There is more I would like to do with this.  Though so far I have added an LED to indicated that I have power to the board.

I had to scratch off the middle of the board, between the right and left side.  This PCB has each row connected (which I liked).

 Here you can see, I have the board powered up.  It is currently powered by an FTDI chip for serial communication.  I will add an interface for an FTDI breakout, so that it will be eaiser to connect.

I have not shown it yet, but this will be attached to a relay board to control.
I am now connected to the ATtiny85 chip and comminicating with it.

I shall post my code later, as I continue to work on this project.
