Video timestamps:
00:00 Video intro.
01:50 What are they and why would you want to use them.
24:41 Finding the right ones: the logic in part codes.
48:15 Adapting them for use with breadboards and perfboards.
01:00:29 Making your own homemade programmer for them.

Thank You

[@jesusalfonsomunozlara1617]

Really nice video. Thanks. I learn a lot and i will try to use new attinys . I was scared to use other than the 85, but you clean my mine, Thanks mate.

[@ma-loco]

Thanks for the feedback.
I did make the video driven by my own amazement at how simple those things are to use if you've already done Arduino directly with microcontrollers like the ATTiny85 and ATMega328P.
It really is a case of the only thing in our way is "not knowing" rather than it "being hard".
Mind you, the person that deserves most of the kudos is Spence Konde for the MegaTinyCore, SerialUPDI integration and refinenent, and the explanatory documentation around it all. I mainly just destilled what I learned from him (plus my own experience using that stuff with various models of the range) into a more linear and accessible form.
That said, I'm glad I was successful in passing along that knowledge :)

Adafruit has a nice 'High Voltage UPDI Friend'. It is only about $10 and has a modern USB-C connector, a 3V/5V switch and a 12V pulse generator for switching the pin from reset/IO mode back to UPDI. There is also one without the 'High Voltage', but it is only $2 cheaper, so seems a bit pointless.

Hi, interesting but quite long video. The most important part for me was the programmer part beginning from 1:00 to 1:08.

[@ma-loco]

Hi and thanks!
I just went for completness so yeah, it's pretty long.
There are video timestamps to jump directly to the parts each person cares about in the text under the video but I just noticed they're only visible after clicking "More" :(

[@ma-loco]

I just adjusted the text a bit to make it easier for people to know there are video timestamps there and put those near the top, a problem I hadn't spotted before reading your comment, so thanks again for your feedback!
