![]() (this will be series of posts about what I did with ATtiny85/ Tinusaur and ESP8266 WiFi module)įirst, what could be accomplished with such limited device as ATtiny85? It has 8 pins, 2 of which are for the power ( Vcc and GND), one for the RESET (pin 1 – PB5), another one potentially for the OWOWOD debugging (pin 2 – PB3) through serial line, so there are 4 pins left: PB0, PB1, PB2, PB4.ĮSP8266 module uses UART to communicate so it would require at least 2 pins to work – URxD and UTxD. If unsure choose USBasp.Īnother version of this guide but with screenshots is available at the Arduino IDE Setup page. ![]() Go to menu Tools / Programmer:… and choose the appropriate programmer. Go to menu Tools / Clock:… and choose the appropriate CPU frequency. Go to menu Tools / Processor:… and choose the appropriate CPU type. It is important to setup the other parameters for the board. The Tinusaur should be available somewhere at the bottom of the list. That will install the necessary files into the Arduino IDE.Ĭlose the dialog by pressing the “Close” button. Locate the “Tinusaur Boards” item and click on it. You may need to wait until all data is loaded.įrom the drop-down menu “Type” choose the “Contributed” item. This will open an additional dialog window with boards information. Go to the menu Tools / Board:… / Boards Manager. NOTE: It is possible to have multiple URLs as long as they are put on separate lines.Ĭlose the edit dialog by pressing “OK”. Close the “Preferences” dialog by pressing “OK”. The current version at the time of writing this guide was 1.6.8 but should work with all the most recent versions.įind the “Additional Boards manager URLs” and the button on the right that will open an edit box. It could be downloaded from – the official Arduino website. Installing the Arduino IDEįirst of all, we need the Arduino IDE itself. ![]() The only difference is that it will appear on the list of boards as Tinusaur – this is done for convenience, so relatively inexperienced people won’t get confused by the long list of unknown boards and microcontrollers. What it does basically is to make it work with the Atmel ATtiny85/45/25 microcontrollers. This is a short guide how to setup the Arduino IDE to work with the Tinusaur boards. UPDATE: There is an updated version of the Arduino Setup Guide at our new website ![]()
