Hello, i've recently bought an MH-ET Live Tiny88 with an Attiny 88 microprocessor in it. I found out that there's no port showing up in the arduino IDE so i cant use the serial monitor. I've read that you can use Software Serial library to allow serial communication thru digital pins, but can you use this library for Serial monitoring?
Sure. The serial monitor program is basically a very limited terminal program, and you can use any other terminal program instead.
According to the comments on this page you can't expect much support for this board.
I highly recommend the use of the ATTinyCore board manager when working with ATTiny devices.
This comes with a built in implementation of "Serial" (and many other features) so you can pretty much code Serial as you would for an Uno. I generally use 19200 baud.

Ok, i installed the ATTny core, but i still don't know how to use the Serial Monitor. I tried searching on the internet, but i couldn't find anything. Thx for help in advance
Just connect the Tx and GND from the ATTiny to the Rx and GND of a Serial to UART adapter.
Hello! Do you have a serial port in your PC? If you don't you need USB to Serial converter like FT232RL or CH340G for it to work.
If you do have it and serial from ATTinyCore still does not work for you, maybe you could try this:
ATtinySerialOut
DigistumpArduino (only versions 1.7.0-1.7.4)
Is CP2102 an option?
Yep.
I finally got serial communication working through the onboard USB interface:
wow thats so cool, gotta try it out

I'm able to upload and run code on the board, but even after following your instructions to the best of my ability it still says [not connected] in arduino IDE. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hi @sparty15. You must select the serial port for the board from the Tools > Port menu in Arduino IDE.
If no serial port is showing up for the board, then you need to figure out how to solve that before you can even think about the Serial Monitor.
OK, I don't have a ports option for that board in my arduino IDE interface, so I guess as you said that's the first issue.
Sorry I reply so late, I am traveling until March 3 and will try to solve the stuff then.
I also tried to make it work on another machine which didn't work and made me wonder how it could ever work in the first place (which it did, I swear!)
Summary: doesn't work · Issue #3 · mqnc/MHTinyCDC · GitHub
I also want to get the other Digispark USB examples working (mouse, keyboard, joystick, midi) and publish that here:
GitHub - mqnc/mhtinyusb: Adaptation of the Digispark USB libraries for the MH-ET LIVE Tiny88 board
(but it also doesn't really work yet, I got one letter through CDC and the keyboard worked once)
no work for me , i guess i have to order a serial port if i dont want to press reset all the time
