Code Examples

programming the attiny85 with the arduino IDE

Random noise generator

first set the clock divider to 8MHz

clock divided by 8 (1Mhz, as delivered) -U lfuse:w:0x62:m -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U efuse:w:0xff:m

clock not divided (8Mhz) avrdude -b 19200 -c usbtiny -p t85 -U lfuse:w:0xe2:m -U hfuse:w:0xdf:m -U efuse:w:0xff:m

Another proposal for the SPI connector

Personally I find the "standard" AVR 6pin ISP connector very cumbersome

• not easy to route around it
• very small pads
• difficult to remember what pin is what
• without the correct cable with molex connector you're fucked

So I started to design all my boards that need a ISP connector like this

GND | VCC | RESET | SCK | MISO | MOSI all in one row.

The advantage is that it's the same pinout like the bigger ATMEGAs, where you can pull out the ISP just straight like this: [1]
