element14 presents | How to Reverse Engineer Electronics: Building a Developer Board for a Coding Class @element14presents | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 1 day ago
There's a point for every electronics maker where you get intrigued by bare metal programming on microcontrollers. But switching over from Arduino to bare C or Rust can be frightening, so Bradán Lane Studio has developed a course with a dedicated coding kit to learn C programming on Attiny chips.

Clem wanted to get started with this course, but he discovered that the kit can't be shipped to his country. So he embarks on a reverse engineering journey to (ethically) produce a local clone of the device!

This video shows you just the highlights of Clem's process, but we have the full hour-long journey as a bonus for you on the Element14 Community: bit.ly/3VwCb4s
