The Great Search: Finding An Eval Board For Your Chip! #TheGreatSearch #DigiKey @DigiKey
26Catching up to a project we started last month - we need to redesign some of our boards due to the chip shortage. We decided to move from the SAMD09 to the ATtiny816 (https://blog.adafruit.com/2021/05/18/the-great-search-a-very-inexpensive-seesaw-8-bit-microcontroller-thegreatsearch-digikey-digikey-adafruit-microchipmakes/) because it seems available/low cost and capable enough. Once you've spec'd the chip, it's nice to get an eval board or two. This will get us going quickly! I'll share some tip for what I look for in an eval board, as well as how to find an eval board even if one doesn't exist for your chip (!)
