Celebrating little victories means a nice cup of tea as I managed to transfer an Arduino programme into an AVR ATtiny85 microcontroller. Like the people in and surrounding Raspberry Pi, clever souls ...

A project focussed upon creating a DIY ATtiny 85 programmer board Attiny85 is tiny yet powerful version of arduino. Attiny85 is an 8bit microcontroller , whereas arduino is 16bit , yet it can ...

The tutorial is fairly straightforward, and even demonstrates how the Arduino can be used as an ISP for the ATtiny, removing the need to purchase a standalone programmer.

Programming the ATTiny You must first upload the example ISP sketch to the Arduino Uno (in the Arduino IDE: "File -> Examples -> 11.Arduino ISP -> Arduino ISP"). Afterwards, place both the Arduino Uno ...

Write the programme – called ‘sketch’ in Arduino speak (you do have to add ATtiny85 capability to the standard Arduino software – easy, see SparkFun link below). Re-programme the Uno as a programmer, ...

When creating projects with an ATtiny DIP8, it is often necessary to program the microcontroller several times, especially if adjustments to the code are necessary. This involves removing the ATtiny ...

Some of the latest Microchip AVRs require a UPDI programmer. This guide will show you how to build your own Arduino based programmer using jtag2updi.

Electronic and Arduino enthusiasts may be interested in a new device created by Trinology based in the Netherlands. The Arduino ICSP Programmer allows you to create your very own Arduino board ...

[Kirill] wrote in to share his Arduino-based PIC programmer. It is capable of writing to the 18F family of chips, including 18F2XXX and 18F4XXX. We think that’s pretty exciting because this l… ...
