Literally, ATtiny85 is a scaled-down version of the Atmega microcontroller on Arduino boards with just a few I/Os (five usable pins) that can listen to or talk to most sensors and transducers.

The kit has been specifically designed to provide tutorials that teach learners about wiring and programming the included ATTiny85 chip in a plug and play Arduino-based environment all enclosed in ...

When writing code for the ATtiny family of microcontrollers such as a the ATtiny85 or ATtiny10, people usually use one of two methods: they either add support for the chip in the Arduino IDE ...

Communicating with the smaller device allows the Arduino to focus on more processor-intensive tasks while giving the simpler tasks to the ATtiny. It also greatly simplifies wiring for projects ...

The tiny Nanite 85 Arduino development board was created as a fun project after its creator Tim had seen the Digispark and, subsequentally, the Adafruit Trinket were announced.

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 ...

I also need to get my ATtiny to go to sleep when not processing anything. And that involves setting pins to ‘interrupt-on-change’ and getting the chip to ‘wake-on-interrupt’ – all stuff I could have ...
