The bootloader is the code that is pre-programmed on your Digispark and allows it to act as a USB device so that it can be programmed by the Arduino IDE (the Digispark uses the Arduino IDE 1.6.5+).

“Possibly the smallest ATtiny85 based ‘duino derivative ... [Tim] took that as a challenge. His very small Arduino based USB devboard is quite a bit smaller than the Olimexino!

Features of the Arduino Learning Kit ATTiny85 and Programmer Board : – Support For the Arduino IDE 1.0+ (OSX/Win/Linux). – Power via USB or External Source – 5v or 7-35v (Automatic Selection).

Even though Attiny85 is fitting here, I opted for Digispark just because of its plethora of features like USB programming interface, on-board voltage regulator, and Arduino IDE compatibility. The code ...

Maker and developers looking for a tiny Arduino development board ... The idea was to create a ATtiny85 based development board based on a USB bootloader and optimised for the ubiquitous 170 ...

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 ...

It’s really just an ATTiny85 – a favorite of the crowd that’s just slightly above Arduino level – and an HM-10 Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy module. This board was developed as a means to ...

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 ...

It's of course backwards compatible with existing Arduino add-ons, but sets itself apart with a new USB controller with lower latency and driver-free operation on Mac and Linux. This should make ...
