ATtiny microcontroller development for Arduino programmers

ATtinys are low-cost microcontrollers that impress with their small form factor and low power consumption (~4-8µA during DeepSleep). The ATtinys can be programmed easily and quickly in the familiar Arduino environment (IDE and C++), so you have a cheap alternative to the Arduinos and ESPs. The ATtinys can be operated with a button battery CR2032 and have enough memory for common DIY projects.

For the whole course the ATtinys 25/24, 44/45 and 84 as well as the Digispark ATtiny85 are used.

What we go through in the course:

• Basics of Atmel ATtiny microcontrollers.
• Getting to know different components like transistors, OLED displays, shift registers and much more.
• Getting to know different upload variants for flashing the ATtinys
• Use of Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO or Arduino IDE
• Set hardware configurations like CPU clock frequency, brown-out detection etc.
• Use of digital-analog GPIOs and PWM controls
• Praxisbeispiel: Digital dice with random number and LEDs
• Praxisbeispiel: Digital dice with WS2812b and FastLED
• Praxisbeispiel: Binary clock with RTC Module and Shift Register
• Praxisbeispiel: Plant monitor and Deepsleep with CR2032 Battery
• Praxisbeispiel: Plant monitor with OLED
• Praxisbeispiel: Tones (creating own Melody) as circuit board pendan
• Praxisbeispiel: Transistor circuit with reedswitch and clap detector
• Praxisbeispiel: Temperature sensor with OLED 0,96” at Digispark ATtiny85
• Praxisbeispiel: DIY Rubber Ducky with Digispark ATtiny85

My approach in the course:

• No (ok, only very few) slides/Powerpoint but more projects. We start in the basics immediately with a practical example. You can also try out the theory immediately with the ATtinys and thereby understand it better.
• The practical projects are developed together in step-by-step instructions.
• In this context, together means that I demonstrate the code, depending on the task, and you can follow the execution or rebuild your own way.
• All codes are available for download on the platform, so you can get to the result without frustration.
• No lengthy explanations or theory monologues, we start right away in the basics chapter.

Benefit from my years of experience and get the key skills in microcontroller development.
