ATtiny8x7 breakout makes for a great seesaw dev board
Given we may not get ATsamd09’s for a year or more, we’re redoing many of our pending designs to use the ATtiny8x7, a modern 8-bit AVR. We’re super familiar with Atmel chips so this feels like old stompin’ grounds. Here’s a breakout for a tiny8x7 with STEMMA QT connectors to make development of new seesaw boards fast and easy. It’s nearly pin-compatible with our SAMD09 breakout https://www.adafruit.com/product/3657 – the pin mapping is from https://github.com/SpenceKonde/megaTinyCore/blob/master/megaavr/extras/ATtiny_x17.md

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

those new attiny series can also be programmed with UDPI, Spence Konde did some great reasearch on different ways to flash them. Even a Arduino with a resistor is fine for flashing, so you dont need a jlink.
