Enhance Microcontrollers using Adafruit’s ATtiny1616 Breakout Board

Enhance Microcontroller Capacity Using Adafruit’s New ATtiny1616 Breakout Board With Seesaw Firmware, At Just $4.95

The board makes it easier to work with electronic components or other devices that have a small form factor, non-standard pinouts, or shaky timing protocols. For example, handling of shaky timing protocol in Neopixel communication with microcontroller/SBC
