[time-nuts] Simple open source microcontroller solution to tune DDS needed

[Tim Shoppa]

ESP8266 is my favorite as of late. It comes in a "DIP Form Factor" and does
SPI and random DIO very nicely.

Even better, as to user interface, it has Wi-Fi and instead of physical
buttons, the UI can be as simple as buttons on a web page it serves up.
