The ATtiny 45 and 85 Programmer Shield is the product of a bored Saturday afternoon and using what I learnt from reading High-Low Tech's tutorial on programming an ATtiny 45 & 85 using an Arduino ...

ATTiny programming shield (using an Arduino Uno) This project is a simple PCB design which can be used to program an ATTiny (25/45/85) with an Arduino Uno as an ISP.

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.

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 ...

Step 1: Configuring Arduino Uno as an ISP: Since ATtiny85 is just a microcontroller, it requires an ISP (In-System Programming) to be programmed. So to program the ATtiny85, we need to first configure ...

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, ...

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 ...
