    I finally bought one!
    Thanks Tony, I know you put much effort into this tiny little board.
    It's sure to add some extra play value to my PPDB.

    Have you ever considered an I2C version using the HT16K33?

    ^ with a jumper selectable pull up resistor on the clock signal.

    There should be pull-ups on both pins in the event that the primary I2C buss pins are not used.

    I got 2 left for sale.
    Here is the pcb diptrace file.

    This is the latest version that don't use any wires.
    Buffer (SN74LV1T34DBVR) so it will work with any power-rail voltage.
    Dual n-mosfet CPH5617-TL-E
    Two resistor-capacitor network as to trick data and latch pins to not see the fast clock signals, as pcb only uses fast, slow and super-slow clock signal.

    Tony, do you still have two available? If so, I'd like them. I have a few I got from you years ago, and have picked up a few new PPDB's since then.

    Thanks for the file! I hope I can expand this and use it on a project of mine.

    I bought one and I like it. My only caveat is if you set up your power rail on the breadboard with positive up and ground down (which I tend to do) it will smoke. I'm glad I noticed before it was too late.

    Check power polarity before turning it on it would be easy to miss.
