[time-nuts] IRIG-B with Arduino

[Eric Garner]

FWIW, if you're looking for a cheap, very capable AVR dev board. i've
had very good success with the Teensy. You can use AVR-GCC or
assembler but it has an Arduino compatibility layer if thats your
thing.

they're cheap and easy to work with, US made, and have great support
and example code, and is breadboard/through hole friendly

However, that particular microcontroller is unlikely to be my final chip of choice due to the fact it's not available in a hobbyist-friendly DIP package. If others with more development skill have suggestions for a different chip, I will gladly listen.
