UPDI programmer compatible with Arduino IDE
https://www.electronics-lab.com/updi-programmer-compatible-arduino-ide/
Antti Mäntyniemi designed this board, which is a UPDI programmer that utilizes Arduino IDE to program AVR microcontrollers. This kind of programmer is used to programm the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny mcus using Arduino IDE. The project files are available on github.com so you can build your own programmer.
AVR8js – Open Source Arduino Simulator Based on JavaScript
https://www.electronics-lab.com/avr8js-open-source-arduino-simulator-based-javascript/
One of the things I love about JavaScritpt is the fact it keeps finding applications in different domains. One such use is in Arduino, with Espruino (open-source JavaScript interpreter for microcontrollers), and an interesting new one is the AVR8js. AVR8js is an open-source Arduino simulator based on JavaScript that can run in the cloud or […]

It was developed to achieve three major goals which include; […]
Minimal I2C for the New AVR Microcontrollers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/minimal-i2c-new-avr-microcontrollers/
This article describes a set of minimal I2C routines for the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers. They allow any of these processors to act as an I2C Master and connect to I2C peripherals. As an example of their use I’ve designed a digital clock circuit based on a 0-series ATtiny402 connected to […]

Here is a nice video from Ben Heck describing how to program and use the smallest AVR microcontroller, the ATTINY10. He covers, how to wire a small converter and an AVR High Voltage Programmer, how to get started with Atmel Studio 7 and basic I/O, how to blink a LED and view the signal with an […]
Using a Raspberry Pi to program an ATTiny10/9/5/4
https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-raspberry-pi-program-attiny10-9-5-4/
Using a Raspberry Pi to program an ATTiny4/5/9/10. But, mostly the $0.25 ATTiny10. And, not necessarily a Raspberry Pi, but anything with GPIOs! Yep. It works. At least tested pretty thoroughly with my ATTiny10. It can also read all the memories AND run timings against the AVR to do processor clock calibration, as well as […]
