About the Dachboden badge PCB
Dachboden badge is an open source AVR/Arduino PCB design by jadeaffenjaeger, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 90 × 90 mm, with 29 components from 6 distinct parts.
Its main chip is the ATtiny45-20XU, from the AVR/Arduino family. By type, the board carries 16 diodes, 9 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 resistor.
It belongs with the wearables and displays & leds designs in this gallery.
From the project
PCB Art Badge with WS2812B LEDs and attiny45 MCU
PCB Art badge using 2020 WS2812B SMD LEDs, attiny45 MCU and light_ws2812 library.
To build the firmware, you need the avr-gcc toolchain and a USBtinyISP (which you can buy for a few euros on AliExpress etc.)
Then, with the programmer connected to the test points on the back of the badge, run:

Dachboden badge: common questions
What microcontroller does the Dachboden badge use?
The Dachboden badge is built around the ATtiny45-20XU, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the Dachboden badge PCB?
The Dachboden badge measures 90 × 90 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the Dachboden badge?
29 components, from 6 distinct parts. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the Dachboden badge design files?
From the jadeaffenjaeger/dachboden_badge repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the Dachboden badge design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with jadeaffenjaeger. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the Dachboden badge without the hardware?
Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug AVR/Arduino firmware against it before you order a PCB.
