Turning an Arduino of virtually any sort into a simple AVR 6-pin ISP programmer is old hat. But when Atmel came out with a series of really tiny AVR chips, the ATtiny10 and friends with only six pi… ...

The ATtiny10 – along with its younger siblings that go by the names ATtiny 4, 5, and 9 – are the smallest microcontrollers Atmel makes. With only 32 bytes of RAM and 1 kB of Flash, ther… ...

However, these two areas are where the Arduino Mega shines. It's built with 256 KB of flash memory and over 50 pins, perfect for managing larger and more demanding projects with multiple components.
