Details
This is a handy prototyping module for the ATtiny85 Microcontroller.
Ready for use with the Arduino IDE if you use my DIY ATtiny system
This module includes
- The ATtiny85 8 Bit AVR Microcontroller with 8k of Flash and 512 Bytes of RAM.
- An unpopulated header ready for a CP2102 if you need to do serial communications or upload (marked A in image) - a bootloader has already been installed ready to use.
-
A populated SPI header for programming using a 6 pin programming plug (marked C in image).
- A general purpose prototyping pad area with the pads in each column connected by cut-able traces on the back of the board (marked F in image).
- Three N Channel Mosfets with their drains connected to pads (marked E in image) and their bases connected to Arduino pins 0, 1 and 2 (PB0..2 AVR native). Each has a weak 220k pull down resistor on the gate.
- Three jumpers to allow you to disconnect Arduino pins 0,1,2 (PB0..2) from the pads and fets if you need to do so while you are programming.
Even though the ATtiny85 is quite small, you can still put them to useful work even using the Arduino IDE, especially with my DIY ATtiny system which has had a number of optimisations.
To program an ATtiny85 you will need either;
