From the project

First KiCAD project. Learn KiCAD, blink an LED.

Blinking an LED as it was done in the 1970s (555) and the 1990s (AVR).

I am using this project to learn KiCAD and SMT fabrication. Also learning to use pogo pins to flash a microcontroller.

I designed and built a jig to hold pogo pins against the board's ISP headers to program the AVR. In the end, I did not use the jig; it did not press the pogo pins against the contacts hard enough to make a solid connection.
