The smaller ATtiny microcontrollers have a limited number of pins, and therefore rely on an internal 9.6 MHz oscillator rather than an external crystal. This oscillator lacks the accuracy of a crystal ...

One of Atmel’s smallest microcontrollers, the ATtiny, is among the most inexpensive and reliable chips around for small applications. It’s also one of the most popular. If you don’t need more than a ...

As I did not realise that Arduino is a quick route to getting a stand-alone 8pin microcontroller – an Atmel ATtiny85 – to do something useful. You don’t get all of the functions and performance of an ...

A new project soon to be available via the Crowd Supply website has been unveiled this week in the form of the ATtiny Flasher, an open hardware flashing tool specifically designed for the Atmel ATtiny ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...
