This weeks assignment consist of reading the microcontroller data sheet (attiny) to understand the functioning of our microcontroller and program my board (hello world) to do something, with as many different programming languages and programming environments as possible.
First download and install the arduino software. click here
open terminal in arduino folder
sudo ./arduino
Or
if you need desktp icon. open terminal in arduino folder
sh arduino.desktop
In desktop you can see Arduino IDE file , rigth click on it > properties > permisions> mark tick on "Allow executeing file as program" .Now you can see aurduino IDE in your desktop.

1- Installing Arduino and the ATtiny files
Open the setings file>preferences. Then paste the URLs address.
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damellis/attiny/ide-1.6.x-boards-manager/package_damellis_attiny_index.json
OR
By default, The attiny board wont be present in Arduino. You either have install the borad files or paste the ATtiny files into the arduino directory.To install the files, select
tools>board>boards manager
I had to make sure that the pin out of the ATtiny44 was compliant with that of Arduino as shown in the image here:
I Refer this sheet for pin arduino ATtiny configuration.
I uploaded the blink example code using Arduino on to the ATtiny44 board I made the other day (all the programs created can be found embedded in this page).
The program was successfully uploaded on to the board through the FabISP (which I made, check here) using the following settings:
void setup() {
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(8, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(8, LOW);
delay(1000);
}
const int buttonPin = 6;
const int ledPin = 8;
int buttonState = 0;
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(buttonPin,HIGH);
}
void loop() {
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
}
}
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(0, 1);
const int buttonPin = 6;
const int ledPin = 8;
int buttonState = 0;
void setup() {
mySerial.begin(9600);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
digitalWrite(buttonPin, HIGH);
}
void loop() {
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
if (buttonState == LOW) {
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
mySerial.write("Hello world");
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
}
}
