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.

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 ...

It works like this: Aduino’s programming language is simple, C-like, and free – as is its development environment. Get an Arduino Uno (some other Arduinos work to). Write the programme – called ...

Sometimes you don't need a large microcontroller to get your work done. In this installment, TK teaches us how to use the ATtiny combined with Arduino to use the PWM function found on this chip.

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.

Making an Arduino shield can be simpler than you think. This time I designed one to program Attiny and Atmega ...
