Sometimes you don't need a large microcontroller to get your work done. In this installment, TK teaches us how to use the ATtiny combined with Arduino to use the PWM function found on this chip.

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 ...

ATtiny85 Microcontroller: You can use development modules like the ATtiny85 DIP or ATtiny85 SOIC. Programming Module: You need a programmer to program the ATtiny85. Common options include: USBasp: A ...

Open File > Examples > ArduinoISP, and upload that code onto the Uno. The Uno will now function as a programmer and relay all the code coming from the computer to the ATTiny85. Step 2: Adding your ...

In our previous tutorial, we programmed the ATtiny85 using Arduino Uno. But connecting Attiny85 to Arduino and using Arduino as ISP can be difficult and time-consuming. So in this tutorial, we are ...

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.

Following on from getting an Arduino programme to run on an 8pin ATtiny (ATtiny85), I need to invoke the in-built brown-out reset circuit – because my application involves running from an ...

Planning another Arduino build? If you’re just doing something simple like switching a relay or powering a LED, you might want to think about the Digispark. It’s a very small ATtiny-based ...

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 ...
