A project log for Micro NumiTron clock

Thus far this board needs to fit on a 1"x1" area, designing a board like this will not be DIY friendly unless you have the required equipment or the patients to place 0402 parts and QFN type parts.

currently this projects main micro will be an Atmel ATMega 168, with 16KB oh program memory. I already have the core of the code finished. I was able to port alot of it over from another clock project I was working on. None of the serial terminal menu was ported over, as just the core takes around 8KB of program space. I may find a way to condense this later.

I have also started the schematics and layout of the board, waiting for my EDA software to update before I can lay down any more parts. (I haven't updated in a while.)

Ill post more later. I should have the boards out to fab by the end of the week.
