Hacking an Arduino ISP Shield for AtTiny45 / AtTiny85 by rleyland

Step 3: Using

After installing the AtTiny45_85 support files (see step 2), open up the Arduino IDE, and look under the Tools -> Boards menu.

You should see new entries for AtTiny45 and AtTiny85.  We are using AtTiny85 (w/ Arduino as ISP)

Insert an AtTiny85 in the ZIF socket. lined up at the top of the socket, so pin one is nearest the lever.  Pin 1 is the pin next to the little circular dot.


Write a small test sketch - or use the BLINK example Files -> Examples -> Basic -> Blink -  remember to change the digital pin from 13 to 0 - the AtTiny chips don't have a digital 13 !


Compile and Upload the Sketch!
