TINY85 DEVELOPMENT BOARD

This tiny and low cost AVR development board is great for compact projects or projects that only requires a few IO pins. Based on the 8 pin Atmel ATTiny85 processor it allows for an incredibly small form factor. It also has the advantage of including a micro usb interface that allows the processor to be programmed via a USB power without the need for any download adaptors. Additionally the board also comes pre-programmed with the Arduino bootloader and test blink sketch. Please note that to use with the Arduino development environment you will need a modified version of this software (see below).

Downloads

The standard Arduino IDE does not provide direct support for Tiny85 based development boards. You will need to use a modified version of this environment. This can be downloaded here:

• Software.

Drivers are found in the usual driver folder within the IDE. To program the Tiny85 development board via the Arduino IDE you must select:

Tools>Board>Digispark (Tiny Core)
Tools>Programmer>Digispark

When programming the board make sure the USB is disconnected. You will be prompted by the IDE when to connect the board.
