#82 ATTiny85 + I2C + SPI and more!

New! https://ralphbacon.blog We investigated the ATTiny85 8-pin microcontroller a while ago so an update is well in order! This time we get it to do some useful things but is it enough to make this a your microcontroller chip of choice? We look at a development shield (fits a standard-size Uno) to make your programming much easier but there are a couple of caveats you really need to be aware of! Nice development kit though, and I'm almost tempted to say "Don't start programming the ATTiny85 without one!" (no, I don't get commission). Spoiler alert - a future video expands on its capabilities and I definitely warm to this tiny chip, almost to the point of becoming enthusiastic, so stay tuned for a future update! All the libraries, demo code and the like can be found on GitHub here: https://github.com/RalphBacon/ATTiny85 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- And links to many items in the video can be found here (you need to watch the video to put this all in context): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Add this addresses to File - Preferences - Additional Boards Manager URLs https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dam...
