Step by Step video on how to install the drivers and program the DigiSpark development boards. Great for smaller projects, that don't need a lot of pins!

6 Years later and this is still a great source of info for Digispark beginners. Helped get mine up and running!

Finally a guide that adressed my problem. May i add that it only worked -for me- connecting the board to an USB 2.0 port, NOT THE BLUE USB 3 PORTS...Thanks a lot!

I wish I had watched this before I started trying to get mine to work! It would've saved me a TON of frustration. Got it working thanks to your video :)

Very informative, at least now I may have a chance, once my development boards arrive. You have highlighted so many problems, and provided solutions. Even if I do run into other problems, I am quite certain that you have saved me an enormous amount of time and effort. Many thanks for sharing such valuable knowledge.

I was at my wits end as how to make Win10 64 bit recognize the board. But your video made my day! Thanks a lot! Also the little behind the scene peek was really hilarious. It only goes to show how much effort goes into the making of each of these videos. Thanks again.

You’ve still got it…this complete newb followed along and had success on the first try using win7

This was just the ticket! After going round and round this solved the problem of talking to the Digispark.

For the first time I've even had an arduino to play with, and within 30 min while following the instructions above I was able to run my first program.
There was only one confusing problem that I came across, when I connected the digispark mini to my windows 10 laptop, windows bleeps in and out and in and out again and again, untill I uploaded the first program from Arduino IDE.

[marcostapia]

Thanks a lot man!!
This is so useful not just for this board but for any other piece of hardware that is not being detected properly.
Thanks again.

Again, thanks a million, now if I could just figure out what I wanted this for, I know I ran into a project that needed  this, just can't recall what it was, there are so many great projects out there that I want to try before we go nomad again in November.
