The Blinkie NIC Board will be the first board created in the BlinkieBits system. It will be similar to the RS232 Interface Board, but with TTL levels only, and not in the final mechanical layout (as there isn't one yet). A network of the Blinkie NIC Boards will be used to figure out the BlinkieNet routing system.

  • CPU: ATtiny2313 (similar to the final Blinkie NIChip but with a UART for debugging)
  • Four BlinkieNet ports (each edge)
  • 3.3v-level RS232 port
  • One LED for each BlinkieNet port, and one global 'status' LED
  • Local voltage regulation
