From the project
SYZYGY Standard port to 4 Pmod™ compatible ports adapter
Board for adapting a SYZYGY Standard compatible port to four Pmod™ compatible ports. It is based on SZG-PMOD4 by Opal Kelly.
The board is compatible with the avr-dna-fw reference firmware.
PCBs can be ordered fully-assembled (besides the High-Speed connector on the bottom side and the pin headers) from JLCPCB. Required files are SYZYGY-PMOD4bomjlc.csv, SYZYGY-PMOD4cpljlc.csv and SYZYGY-PMOD4.zip.

SYZYGY-PMOD4: common questions
What microcontroller does the SYZYGY-PMOD4 use?
The SYZYGY-PMOD4 is built around the ATTINY44-20SS, from the AVR/Arduino family.
How big is the SYZYGY-PMOD4 PCB?
The SYZYGY-PMOD4 measures 45 × 60 mm, has 2 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.
How many components are on the SYZYGY-PMOD4?
28 components, from 12 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.
Where can I download the SYZYGY-PMOD4 design files?
From the twam/SYZYGY-PMOD4 repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.
Can I use the SYZYGY-PMOD4 design in my own project?
The repository has no license, so all rights stay with twam. Use it as a reference, and ask the author before reusing the design.
Can I test firmware for the SYZYGY-PMOD4 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.
