The ATTINY85-20PU, LM339 and NE555 appear in the most repositories here.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the L7809 use?
Most are built on AVR/Arduino (2), ESP32 (2) and STM32 (2).
How big is a typical board using the L7809?
The median is 100 × 70 mm, and 82% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the L7809?
By GitHub stars, Mainboard by Cluradev, with 119 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the L7809 before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
