Requirements and Setup

Ability to program ATTiny chips. This only requires the Arduino IDE 1.6.4+, an arduino uno, a breadboard, some wires and of course, the ATTINY chip. Oh a capacitor too sometimes.

The Instructions are here: http://highlowtech.org/?p=1695

I can only say that these sketches work with this core.

Follow the above exactly. To Paraphrase the strategy:

• Load the ATTINY preferences
• Verify they loaded.
• Program your Uno to be a bootloader with the Arduino ISP sketch
• Hook up the attiny to the uno
• Select the board type now to be ATTINY and programmer as "Arduino as ISP"

Try your setup first with Blink. Ya...the regular good ol blink sketch. Try and burn blink onto an ATTiny85. Verify the speed of the blink to make sure the fuse settings are right.

then try ACS-85-0001. Thats a pretty simple one and a good starting point.
