It may not be the most useful for measuring things accurately, but everyone needs a banana for scale once in a while. And this banana is more than it seems. Many of the reference footprints on it are connected more or less correctly to power and to other footprints.
The board can, depending on what's soldered to it, act as the following:
a 555 blinker
3,3V power source fed by USB or other input
ATMega328 dev board
ATMega1280 dev board
ESP32-C3 dev board
ESP32-S3 or S2 dev board
With that said, it will never be "good" at any of the functions. It was never designed to be. It's just a fun thing.
Other footprints the MCUs can access:
up to 3 neopixels
2 power LEDs with transistor
2 basic LEDs
the 555 blinker output
4 switches, 2 of which are for reset/boot mode
the USB port
7 IO pads, 4 of which are also available on the edge for use with crocodile clips
But what if someone attacks you with one of them? (Cue Monty Python fruit defence sketch. 😜)
