Hello there!!!
Since I have formatted my netbook, I've noticed that Digistump site is no longer available, not allowing the install of the board via Board Manager
(error downloading http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json)
Is there a way to manually install the board? I've follow the steps here with no positive results.
Is there another way to install?
Cheers!
It looks like their web site is down.

Do you want to operate Digispark ATiny85 Dev Board (Fig-1)?

Yes, I have a few
Hi @TenoTrash. Unfortunately the manufacturers of the original DigiSpark board abandoned the users years ago. Since then the support software they provided has gradually decomposed due to bit rot, as you noticed.
Fortunately the amazing Arduino community picked up the slack by providing well maintained unofficial support software. The current recommendation is to use the excellent ATTinyCore boards platform, which has DigiSpark support.
You can learn how to install ATTinyCore from this documentation page:
Give it a try and let us know if you have any problems or questions.
Thanks, I will try this.
Luck, I've found an old notebook that has the Digistump still installed, and will try to compress and copy the folders:
/$HOME/arduino-1.8.19/ (installer folder)
/$HOME/Arduino/ (sketch location)
/$HOME/.arduino15/ (binary install folder)
Hope this works!
Procedures to install and program Digispark ATtiny85 Dev Board (Fig-1).
Figure-1:
1. Install/Include the ATTinyCore in the Arduino IDE**.** This is a software package and it is called a "core" because it forms the essential foundation for programming and interacting with microcontrollers. The Core can be installed this way:
(1) Open the Arduino IDE and on the main menu, select Files -> Preferences. In the Additional Boards Manager URLs textbox, type the URL "http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json", and then press the OK button.
(2) Goto Boards Manage… and type AttinyCore and then follow the menu…
2. Install the Windows USB Driver for the Board from the attached folder:
Digistump.Drivers.zip (1.6 MB)
This works perfect!!! Thanks!!!
Create a file named /etc/udev/rules.d/digispark.rules with the following line in it:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="16d0", ATTR{idProduct}=="0753", MODE="0660", GROUP="dialout" in case of Assertion 'res >=4' failed

More like they were cloned out of business.
It’s remarkable how well Arduino has done, despite clones!

I got this to work, uploaded my sketch and now need to build the completed circuit. Fantastic little devices.
