ATtiny Arduino Boards For Cost Saving Projects

Advertisement

It is probably normal or expected that many of the Arduino users will know very less about the microcontrollers. Genuine Arduino boards are for development purpose, but one need to search for low cost for really creating a project which will be used. The methods of cost reduction varies and depends on the skill of the readers. Ready to use cheap ATtiny Arduino boards available which can be used by anyone for small projects. Here is what to know about ATtiny Arduino boards for cost saving projects before buying.

 

ATtiny Arduino Boards For Cost Saving Projects

 

Their size is less than half compared to a USB pen drive. They are sold everywhere from Ebay, Amazon to your any country septic online shops with an average cost of $2 per piece. If you are not sure whether you can run Arduino IDE with with, you can contact the seller and ask hum/her. Digispark ATTiny85 USB development board is well known and cheap.

Difference with Arduino from way of usage is that after inserting it to USB port, launching the Arduino IDE application, for Digispark boards you need open Preferences window of Arduino IDE. You will notice an option named “Additional Board Manager URL”. Here is the official documentation around that matter :

Difference with connecting original Arduino UNO is that :

  1. You need to install the above thing from the URL matter written above once
  2. Commonly you will need to set your board from the boards menu of Arduino IDE

 

Other differences are technical and a new user need not to know so much. Arduino is programmed using C++,using of the framework library named Wiring :

Cost and space is a factor and ATtiny chip is a good alternative to the ATmega for simpler projects by virtue of Arduino-Tiny project. ATtiny is not 100% Arduino, the following Arduino commands should be supported :

Vim

I must tell you that being only ATtiny85 microcontroller works fine, which costs around one dollar. If you have Arduino board, you just need to follow this guide to use it like really to use board :

We have guide on how to cut USB wire for connecting to breadboard.

Also there is LilyTiny LilyPad.

In that case, you have buy the basic electronic components. We have a list of basic electronic components to build Arduino. There is PaperDuino. Arduino philosphy needs the serial I/O for programming, the Megas were actually preferable.
