The Digispark is based on the very popular Atmel ATtiny85, an 8 pin microcontroller that provides a quarter of the Flash storage and RAM as the ‘official Arduino’ ATMega328p.

The first step is to modify the Arduino's behavior, transforming it into a capable ISP (In-System Programmer). This step is relatively simple: you just need to upload a code to the Arduino. It doesn't ...

Complete Guide to Digispark ATtiny85 Setup (macOS) This guide is a complete guide to setting up the Digispark ATtiny85 board on macOS with the Arduino Uno as ISP and Arduino IDE.

As you might have observed, even the wondrous Digispark development board uses the ATtiny85 as its brain! Literally, ATtiny85 is a scaled-down version of the Atmega microcontroller on Arduino boards ...

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.

A pint-sized alternative to the Arduino, the Digispark is likely to ignite love in a lot of DIYers' hearts.
