Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.0

This tutorial shows you how to program an ATtiny45, ATtiny85, ATtiny44 or ATtiny84 microcontroller using the Arduino software. These are small, cheap ($2-3) microcontrollers that are convenient for running simple programs. The ATtiny45 and ATtiny85 have eight legs and are almost identical, except that the ATtiny85 has twice the memory of the ATtiny45 and can …

AVR Programming Tutorial Using Arduino

This tutorial introduces programming for AVR microcontrollers. It uses the ATmega328p found on Arduino boards, but works with straight AVR C and a bare microcontroller. It covers the basic information you need to get started, whether or not you’ve used Arduino or other microcontrollers previously. Why would you want to learn AVR programming (instead of, …
