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.

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.

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 ...

Having had such quick success making a microcontroller project using an 8pin ATtiny85 and programming it with Arduino, I though I would try a more elaborate project, one that has been on the back ...

Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as any other servo tester, the difference is that it can be programmed to ...

The ‘and thus goes by another day’ blog suggested making up a little adaptor board to make programming 8pin ATtinys easier. My version has all the components on one side and a decoupling capacitor, ...
