I think it would look pretty cool if there was a current layer visualization panel on the web interface. Maybe it could update with what paths it has drawn so far. I was thinking just a simple 2D one similar to the way pronterface displays G-code. I don't know how resource intensive it might be but I think it might be a cool extra feature if Chris or someone has the time to spare.
It was the wrong part number, I got the new one installed and avrdude accepted it for programming.
To continue this, several months later. I finally got around to building a second one. Unfortunately neither of them seem to work. I am able to program them, avrdude recognizes them as attiny44s, but the status light never comes on, and the probe seems to trigger somewhat randomly. Any ideas on troubleshooting? Everything else works fine, all the other lights light up, the only issue is probing. Both boards seem to have this issue.

No matter how hard I try it wont line up, I don't think these fit on my board. I suspect that when I opened up the board files in KiCAD, since my libraries are different, it chose a slightly different footprint, maybe for the 4mm version. I'm ordering some new ones that should hopefully work just fine.
I have access to a reflow oven, hot air station, and several soldering irons. Also solder paste and flux. Might have gotten too much solder on the center pad, we will see when i try again.
Okay, guess I’ll have to give it another shot. Thanks for the help!
Is that a 3x3mm chip? That’s what I have I think, and the pads on the chip barely touch the pads on the board
I think I got the wrong model of ATiny44s, mine are too small to solder on the board reliably. What model of ATiny are you guys using?
@dc42 do I need to burn a bootloader? I think I have everything wired up correctly, but I seem to be having some issues.
@dc42 great! Do you know if a micro loaded up with the ISP arduino sketch will work with Atmel Studio, or is this more something that I'd be alone on?
I got some custom white PCB smart effectors made. I'm going to populate them sometime soon, and I would like to know how you guys program them. I planning on using one of my Teensys as an ISP for avrdude and connecting it up with a little pogo-pin connector I'm printing. I was looking at the firmware repo though, and I saw for the compilation output only a .elf was available. Don't I need a .hex?
Besides that, any other holes in my plan?
