What Will I Learn?

• What is an ATtiny and which variants are available
• Technical data and pinout discussion
• Effect of CPU clock speed and power supply
• Power saving mode Deepsleep and interrupts
• Brown-out detection and CPU clock setting with fuses
• Apply hardware settings with Arduino IDE and PlatformIO (Fuses)
• Source Code Creation with C++
• Configuring and setting up Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO and Arduino IDE
• Get to know different ATtiny cores and sources of supply
• Create Arduino ISP DIY Shield for flashing
• Use USB ISP Flasher
• Use different upload methods with different IDEs
• LED control with PWM
• Use of WS2812b and FastLED with ATtiny
• RTC module and shift register usage with ATtiny
• Evaluation of humidity sensor and Deepsleep

Requirements

• First experiences in Arduino development (millis, pinMode, data types) advantageous
• Basics C++ in the Arduino environment
• With the online simulators a lot can be simulated, but you have a greater learning success if you rebuild the practical examples with the hardware components
• Everything about ATtiny is taught in this course

Target audience

• Anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge of low-power, small form factor microcontrollers.
• Developers who are interested in using low-cost microcontrollers for their projects.
• All those who want to understand, apply and write their own practical projects with microcontrollers.
• All those who want to learn more about microcontrollers with limited hardware resources
