Blu Tack has made soldering so much easier. I think I saw Julian Ilett using it a few months back and gave it a try and it just makes the entire process so much simpler.
Someone mentioned to me before that it was an Julian Ilett tip ok. I don't think I got it from him, I think I saw it on reddit. And that person probably got it from Julian!
helloooo, im the guy from reddit... thanks to you i finally made it work and i can left behind all my headachesfrom the previous weeks. thank you for making the world a better place.
I built my own attiny programmer using the original Arduino ISP programmer board, a 6 pin ribbon cable and a zero force socket 2 years ago ant it works fine. The socket allows to insert and remove the attiny without bending any pins. I also made a bigger version for the larger attiny chips which have up to 12 I/o pins (attiny 44/84). I use those chips a lot because of the wide voltage range they work in as you also mentioned in your video. You can power it from nearly any battery without any voltage regulation.
+Michael Bernhardt that sounds good! Yeah I have to be careful removing the chips from this one I got an ISP programmer there recently so I'm hoping to just build a header into the final project boards that allows me to connect into and reprogram as needed Do you have a link to a zero force socket?
Brian Lough yes. I bought mine locally here in Germany but anything like this here will do. rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.de%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F272807464870 Just take care that you get the narrow spacing for the attinys and enough pins. But I never found one with less than 20 pins so i used this one. Maybe I post you a short clip showing mine in action if I manage it to get to my lab this weekend. I have a 6 month old daughter and as you know yourself the little ones steal a lot of your free time ;-)
+Michael Bernhardt haha, they sure do! My wife is gone for the day so its just me and the little one today and I went to bed way way too late, so its going to be a long day! Thanks for the link, I'll check it out when I'm on my computer later (the TH-cam studio app doesn't allow clicking of links for some reason)
Brian Lough hi Brian, i finally got into my basement lab and shot a short clip showing my version of the Attiny programmer. If you like to see it take a look here: th-cam.com/video/6muhddXmXT4/w-d-xo.html
+Manta Ray thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Delighted to hear your learning from it. To be honest when I started making videos in January i thought i might get a couple of hundred subs by then end of the year or maybe if things go insanely well for me I MIGHT hit 1k. So to be pretty much at the 1k mark now is actually pretty crazy to me. That's 1000 people who saw what I was making/doing and actively did something in order to see more of it. Its something I'm very proud of if I'm being honest!
+learnelectronics thanks Paul! That does really mean a lot was honestly watching your "bonus video: thank you" at the time I noticed this notification on my phone!
Thanks for the video Brian and a great tutorial on how to get started with the 'tiny. I did something similar, making a simple programmer with a cheap Nano clone on a prototyping board and a Zif socket to make it easier to connect/remove the ATTiny85 - I end up doing that a lot!! :-)
+Peter Leather thanks! I'm thinking I'd like to make a much much smaller version using iscp pins that are on most boards (including my nano). Yeah I definitely would have used a zif socket if I had one, I think its another thing to add to my shopping list!
Digging up an old video.. i just had me sent two attiny84 for playing around, now i got arduino leonardo, pro micro, esp8266/d1-mini since youre all esp8266: would it be possible to make this work over wlan, so you can "stamp" ISP program the attiny with an esp8266 running from 3xAAAs ? Need to look for a demo for pro micro now. 😒
Found you via Dave from EEVBlog...since i´ve next to no experience with the Attiny...is it possible to use the arduino IDE to write code for the attiny as well and upload it with this thing...? edit: ok, sorry for asking...next tiime i watch the video unitl it ends, before i´m asking stupid questions ;)
+TubiCal hey, welcome! No worries! Yeah, they are really useful if your looking for something low powered, once you have the programmer they can be easily programmed with the arduino idea. I'm finishing up a video for a project where I used an attiny , should be released tonight or tomorrow Any more questions about anything just let me know!
I already have the components - i'll try to put something like what you did this coming week I've done it without the shield, but the shield looks nice Great work

I think this might be my first video to not feature or mention an ESP8266, it must be a Christmas miracle!
Happy Christmas/Holidays everyone!

EXCELLENT VIDEO Brian! So much nonsense videos around... very clear, accurate. I am already subscribed. Thank you so much mate
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it!
Brian mate, it blows my f**king mind that you only have 1k subs right now. Your content is kick ass. Awesome stuff, I'm learning a tonne.
+Manta Ray thanks so much, I really appreciate it! Delighted to hear your learning from it.

I made it and it works! thank you for this fun and learnful and clear video
Brian, I always look forward to your videos. You give me great inspiration. Happy New year!
+learnelectronics thanks Paul! That does really mean a lot was honestly watching your "bonus video: thank you" at the time I noticed this notification on my phone!
Happy xmas to you too. Thanks for a very concise and not overly complex intro to programming the attiny.
+northshorepx thanks! Thanks for all the comments over the year, it really does mean a lot!
Nice and clear instructions as always Brian, keep it up! 👌
+Stephen Ludgate thanks a lot!
We love the clarity :p

Digging up an old video..
i just had me sent two attiny84 for playing around,
now i got arduino leonardo, pro micro, esp8266/d1-mini
since youre all esp8266:
would it be possible to make this work over wlan, so you can "stamp" ISP program the attiny with an esp8266 running from 3xAAAs ?
Need to look for a demo for pro micro now. 😒
can i use Arduino Nano ?(as the chips are same & i do not have uno). And brother you are awesome
Thank you
Awesome! Very clear!
+shinevision sv thanks! Glad you liked it!
so whats the function of that blueish /black circuitboard I wonder. please reply valid

Any more questions about anything just let me know!
The DIL socket has a notch in one end to aid orientation.
Hi sir i try to program it but it showing yenkie invalid device check your connection double
very nice video
+Raad Yacu thanks Raad!
+Raad Yacu thanks a lot Raad!
I already have the components - i'll try to put something like what you did this coming week
I've done it without the shield, but the shield looks nice
Great work
+Raad Yacu let me know if you have any questions or run into any problems!
Hey, I tried to burn the bootloader and got an error, can you help me?
Try programming attiny85 using Arduino without burning bootloader. I tried it and It works even without burning a bootloader.
why not use a ZIF socket?
Agreed... and send for a CCA from PCBway... very nice.
