Digispark ATtiny85 with a BH1750 Light Sensor

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hi,

First of all I am completely new in this topic and still quite a noob. I want to build a small lightmeter consisting of a light sensor and an OLED display. It should be small enough to be mounted on the cold shoe of an old film camera. Because of the form factor and the size I came up with the Digispark ATtiny85.

Now to my actual question, is it possible to run the BH1750 light sensor with a Digispark ATtiny85? Is there a special library or a workaround for this, because according to my research it doesn't seem to work. I just can't get the sensor to work. Or are there alternative light sensors that are compatible with the Digispark board?

Thanks in advance

I found one library that may be useful:

and some sample code for tiny85

You really do not need USB, so forget Digispark and Trinket. Just use a decent Arduino Tiny85 core and the IDE.
