Fun hobby project to generate 32 x 16 characters of text on VGA output (or alternatively 64x64 pixel graphics, or split-screen graphics/text) from Attiny85 with 6x10 pixel font.
Data is read from UART at 9600bps. Subset of ANSI escapes is supported.
Wiring 3 Attinys together gets you 8 color output :)
