Summary
The article describes three hardware development boards created by the author: 1) AngstromIO, an extremely compact development board based on the Attiny1616 MCU that's barely longer than a USB-C connector with 2 GPIOs and I2C lines, 2) a dual CH340 programming board for UPDI programming and serial debugging, and 3) a breadboard-friendly experimentation board for the CH32V003 microcontroller featuring a 5x4 charlieplexed LED matrix. The AngstromIO is designed for space-constrained embedded projects, while the CH32 board serves as a learning platform for programming experimentation.

I made a dual CH340 programming board too, both for UPDI programming and debugging (one way Serial Communication).
I also designed a breadboard friendly, experimentation board for the CH32V003, with a 5x4 charlieplexed LED matrix.
While the AngstromIO is a tiny devboard, yet powerful, that could be embedded in any space constrained projects, the CH32 devboard is more an experimentation board, for me to learn how to program this
