Planning another Arduino build? If you're just doing something simple like switching a relay or powering a LED, you might want to think about the Digispark (http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/digistump/digispark-the-tiny-arduino-enabled-usb-dev-board) . It's a very small ATtiny-based Arduino compatible board developed and Kickstarted by [Erik].

The Digispark is based on the very popular Atmel ATtiny85 (http://www.atmel.com/Images/doc2586.pdf) , an 8 pin microcontroller that provides a quarter of the Flash storage and RAM as the 'official Arduino' ATMega328p. The lower storage space and RAM doesn't mean the '85 is a slouch, though; it can run Arduino code without a hitch (http://hackaday.com/2011/09/13/attiny-hacks-run-your-arduino-project-on-an-attiny/) , providing six pins for whatever small project you have in mind.

Right now, [Erik]'s Kickstarter is offering three Digisparks for the price of a single Arduino. At that price, it's cheap enough to leave in a project and not be repurposed after the build is over. [Erik] is also working on a few shields for the Digispark - only RGB LED shield for now, but hopefully he'll get some more finished by the time the Kickstarter ends.
