Anyone who would like to learn Arduino programming and more about the fantastic electronic development platform which is fun and easy-to-use to create a wide variety of different projects. Maybe ...

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.

He finally got around to etching this ATtiny85 programming adapter. If the project is not pin hungry, an ATtiny85 can run Arduino sketches without the need to port the code.

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 ...

Write the programme – called ‘sketch’ in Arduino speak (you do have to add ATtiny85 capability to the standard Arduino software – easy, see SparkFun link below). Re-programme the Uno as a programmer, ...

The Adafruit Gemma measures just 1 inch in size and is powered by an ATtiny85 and programmable with an Arduino IDE over USB, allowing you to create those wearable projects of the future.
