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).

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
