Attiny85 Kickstarter USB Development Board (100% compatible with Arduino)

Description

The Digispark Attiny85 board is originally developed by the company Digistump (under open hardware). It comes with an integrated USB connector for programming and power supply and can operate with an external power supply of 6-35VDC. It has several different I/O options (programmable), like 6 digital I/O, 4 analog inputs, or 3 PWM outputs. Our Attiny85 board is 100% compatible with Arduino IDE after installing the required driver package.*

The Digispark is an Attiny85-based microcontroller development board similar to the Arduino line, only cheaper, smaller, and a bit less powerful. The Digispark is shipped fully assembled except for the two included and easy-to-solder headers.

Specifications:

• Support for the Arduino IDE 1.0+ (OSX/Win/Linux) *
• Power via USB or External Source – 5v or 7-35v (12v or less recommended, automatic selection)
• On-board 500ma 5V Regulator
• Built-in USB
• 6 I/O Pins (2 are used for USB only if your program actively communicates over USB, otherwise you can use all 6 even if you are programming via USB)
• 8k Flash Memory (about 6k after bootloader)
• I2C and SPI (vis USI)
• PWM on 3 pins (more possible with Software PWM)
• ADC on 4 pins
• Power LED and Test/Status LED

IMPORTANT:
To get started, it is crucial to read and follow the instructions on the Digistump Wiki! This is NOT a regular Arduino board, natively supported by the Arduino IDE. It requires some different procedures to use its virtual USB port for programming with the Arduino IDE.
