Programmed an attiny25 with Arduino IDE

[adamdb]

I wanted to report that I also have had success programming a Tiny25 with the code from this site http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/

For this one I also had to modify the boards.txt file to include entries for the Tiny25 which I created by copying the Tiny45 section and changing the relevant bits to Tiny25.

I was able to download the above LCD write sketch and also did tests of analogRead, analogWrite, tone, noTone, etc.

It's nice to have a few options.

Excellent!

That is exactly why I used SoftwareSerial, it didn't need any changes to run

The latest version of the Arduino Tiny core includes "Tiny Debug Serial".  If you only transmit, it should make a very nice replacement for SoftwareSerial.  I beleive it's smaller and the timing should be dead-on.  Some details are here...

Please post your changes.  I'll add them to the Arduino Tiny core.

Any problems?

This is the addition I made to the boards.txt file.

It would be easy enough to also include make a 1mHz section.

I had no issues with any of the library functions that I listed above.

I will check out the Tiny Debug Serial.  Sounds like a great addition.

Thanks.  The next update will include definitions for the ATtiny25 @ 8 MHz and the ATtiny25 @ 1 MHz.

They probably don't have interest because an ATMega2560 SMD chip is practically smaller than an DIP ATTiny85 so what would be the point I guess.

price maybe...
