Attiny85 8-pin Arduino Programming Shield

This Arduino shield transforms your Arduino UNO into an ISP-Programmer for the ATtiny85 microcontroller. The board simplifies the Boot-loader burning on the ATtiny85 chip. It consists of an 8-pin DIP socket to insert the new ATtiny85 chip, C1 decoupling capacitor, and C2 capacitor is provided to avoid the Arduino UNO from being auto-reset when we upload the program to the ATtiny85 chip. The project is a good choice when the user wants to shrink the Arduino project into an 8-pin microcontroller and when the project requires only a few I/O pins.

Few tutorials showing how to program the ATtiny85 from the Arduino IDE with the help of the Arduino Uno are listed below:
