Attiny13 microcontroller development board

The task and the search for solutionsIt’s time to study a lighter microcontroller than atmega328, which is located on Arduino boards. Arduina is good, but for very simple tasks it is very redundant. Its price is higher, dimensions are larger and consumption is also greater than the microcontrollers of the series, for example Attiny. An understanding has come that knowing one microcontroller is not enough, there are simple and complex tasks. It was decided to study Attiny13, it has been studied enough by other people and is suitable for my tasks. Choosing a breadboard for the Attiny13 microcontrollerFor experiments on the microcontroller, so as not to constantly get confused in the wires, I decided to start by looking for a debug board, with soldered buttons and LEDs. Such was found in China, the price for it was $ 4 apiece and 4 for shipping. You can order it if you are ready to wait and if you are satisfied with the functionality embedded in it. For many tasks, its potential should be enough, but I wanted a little more. Wishes: assign any leg of the chip as input or output be able to expand the breadboard by adding what is needed, and if possible use more jumpers than a dupont wire DIY breadboardIn my implementation using a jumper, you can connect a button or LED to any pin. Additionally, there are pull-up resistors of various ratings on top, you can use it to test the ADC, or to tighten the legs to plus, if you decide not to use INPUT_PULLUP for any reason. -->
