We were amazed to see the incredible wearable project by Zach from NeuroTinker while at CrowdSupply Teardown:
Cyborg Ring
Cordwood-style blinky ring, powered by an ATtiny85 and a pair of size 10 Zn-air hearing aide batteries.

Workshop: Assembling the Tinusaur Kit in Varna, Bulgaria
This Saturday, September 2nd, we will have one day workshop for assembling the Tinusaur kits for those who supported our Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. It will take place in Varna, Bulgaria, our host will be VarnaLab – the local hackerspace. We will learn the basics of electronic components, microcontrollers – ATtiny85 in particular and, of course, […]

pockeTETRIS: compact Tetris clone using ATtiny85 and OLED
[dombeef] originally built pocketTETRIS as a Father’s Day gift for his Tetris-loving pops. However, having finished the project he’s decided to share it with the universe, and it’s looking rather sweet. He made the game the smallest he could make, with size limitations imposed by a 0.96” OLED display, the coin-cell battery pack, and his desire…
Musical Toothbrush by Joe Grand
Hackaday wrote about a nifty hack by Joe Grand:
[Joe Grand’s] Toothbrush Plays Music That Doesn’t Suck
It’s not too exciting that [Joe Grand] has a toothbrush that plays music inside your head. That’s actually a trick that the manufacturer pulled off. It’s that [Joe] gave his toothbrush an SD card slot for music that doesn’t suck. The victim donor hardware for this project is a toothbrush meant for kids called Tooth Tunes.…
Joe published full documentation for the project on his website:
The PCB is shared on OSH Park:

$3 Tinusaur board on IndieGoGo
Neven Boyanov has launched a new Tinusaur campaign on IndieGoGo:
Learn, Teach and Make with the Tinusaur
Small microcontroller board that could run Arduino and help you learn, teach others and make things
The Tinusaur is powered by the Atmel ATtiny85 microcontroller.
We want to bring the cost down to $3 for the basic “lite” boards
and allow more people to be able to get them.
ATTiny-Widget
jonmash designed this simple board with two ATTiny processors powered by a micro USB connector.
ATTiny-Widget
Micro USB power input to two ATTiny MCU’s. There are two different ATTinys on this board. An ATTiny84 and an ATTiny85. These MCUs are great because they can be used with no additional components. In fact, on this board, the only additional components are some filter capacitors for the power rail and a header for the programmer interface.
I have exposed an array of copper pads for every pin. This makes it easy to add LEDs or to wire to just about any sensor.
