Arduino boards have a small amount of general purpose I/O and can be used for many different purposes. For instance, Arduino boards can act as a programmer tool for other AVR microcontrollers using an ...

Next step is to program this chip using an Arduino board as an ISP programmer. Open the Arduino sketch which you want to upload. Connect the chip in the same configuration in above figures which you ...

Programming via ISP can be complex when you're not used to it (I can tell you from personal experience). Apart from the technique I explain in the tutorial, there are a multitude of other ways to use ...

He contemplated using an ATtiny for smaller projects, but after looking into what he would need to program the chip under Linux, he could never find the motivation to give it a go.

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… ...

Step 1: Configuring Arduino Uno as an ISP: Since ATtiny85 is just a microcontroller, it requires an ISP (In-System Programming) to be programmed. So to program the ATtiny85, we need to first configure ...
