the USB circuit including Zener LED (current permanently flowing between +5V, the D- pull-up resistor and the zener diode). If you can't access the bootloader using USB your remaining option is ISP/ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming).

AliExpress) and is shipped fully assembled, including a V-USB interface (a software-only implementation of a low-speed USB device for Atmel's AVR microcontrollers). This product includes an E-Book that provides useful information on how to begin your project, it helps with a quick setup and saves time on the configuration process. From the top menu of the Arduino IDE application, select File → Preferences to open the Preferences dialog box. The diode between the USB and 5V shall have the cathode (+) connected to +5V and the anode (–) connected with USB V+. The ATtiny85 is only specified to run at 16 MHz when powered at 5V, however you may be able to overclock it at 16 MHz with 3V (8 MHz is recommended for 3V and 8 or 16MHz with 5V).

The firmware upload driver is installed via the Arduino IDE and the Micronucleus bootloader upgrade driver can be set-up via https://github. Reducing code size by approximately 10% to 15% can be done using the alternative Digispark board URL: https://raw. The allow loading the bootloader, it needs to be converted into a compressed version; we will generate it with name upgrade. With similar coding to Arduino as well as using the familiar Arduino IDE for development, you will be up and running in no time. Both provide a TTL UART hardware interface (using one or two pins different from P3 and P4, used for USB).

A micro-switch between D5 and ground is appropriate, also pulling up D5 to VCC with a 22kohm resistor. optionally, DigiCDC - Digispark USB CDC Serial Library, requiring appropriate Arduino library as well as the V-USB driver on the PC.

Connect the SPI, +5V, GND and RESET connectors from the ATTINY85 to the programmer, compile the code, program the binaries with AVRDUDESS and voila.
