How to use the Atmel ATTINY10 Microcontroller

I've enjoyed experimenting with these super tiny MCU's and thought I'd share the fun!

00:57 - Wiring a converter so a standard programmer can perform High Voltage Programming, allowing you to use the RESET line as extra I/O (for a total of 4 instead of 3 :)

16:42 - Getting started with Atmel Studio 7 and basic I/O, blinking LED's and viewing with an oscilloscope.

29:39 - Using interrupts to bit-bang a serial protocol to get data out of the device.

48:47 - Using the ADC to get readings from attached sensors.

This has to be the best AVR introduction I've ever come across, much less specifically for the ATTiny10!

[Codeaholic]

YES. This. This us what I always wished the element14 episodes were. Happy to see you continue making content and actually show how things are done.

Fascinating. I'm still back at 1977 Heathkit level knowledge. I watch your videos in awe... the kind of awe you get watching someone solving problems you didn't even know were problems.

I’m a comp sci student, with an interest in IOT and hardware, but since I took a more software oriented path, I don’t see a lot of hardware in class. It’s so entertaining to watch someone who knows what they’re doing just work for a bit, and I learned a bunch of stuff along the way.

Hey Ben, thanks for continuing your work on your personal channel. It feels like the old bhs I subbed to many years ago. I love it. My only suggestions would be to upgrade your Mic and make a second channel which is more like an uncut version or semi live. Thanks again Ben. Oh yeh bring Felix in aswel for a celeb appearances.

I like that you used a large led to show what you are doing. Even if there were small LEDs on the board it makes it easy to see what and where you are talking about.

What really strikes me with Ben Hack videos is that he explains either the very basic or the very high end concepts, but not what's in the middle. It's nice that he always takes one project to a finish.

Man, what a drop in videography production and what a huge climb in actual tech knowledge and content. Worth it.

[captainsolder]

This is how the Ben heck show should have been.
This is incredibly informative on so many levels.
I especially enjoyed the programmer build right at the start.
Unfortunately the audio still has some issues.

Finally! this is what was missing from the main stream electronic channels. This is quite therapeutic tbh. Just like revising before an exam that you know you took a course on a decade ago.

Wow - 53 minutes flew by! It's incredible what sort of hardware and knowledge is available for hobbyists these days.

Hello, at 10 min it is clear that, the current limiting resistor is missing from the base of transistor Q1 2N2907 and the collector of optocoupler transistor . Both transistors will be destroyed. Success and a Happy New Year.

As an English major studying language in college, I can safely conclude that approximately 1% of this video is real words. But I still highly enjoyed this video, and it was a great way to relax before bed. Thanks for giving me a good night of sleep, Ben Hack.

I love watching you in full on "Coding Mode" and I actually could not stop watching you work!!!
And Yes Benjamin J. Heckendorn, it was extremely exciting and interesting and informative and I watched it from beginning to end without stopping!!!! ;) P.S. I used to watch TBHS Religiously and I miss Felix and Karen!!! :(

[edwarddickhoff]

As a Computer Engineering Major I found this to be a great how to! Definitely going to try and implement these on some smaller projects! Great job!

[curtstacy]

Ben your back! my wife is happy for us. after I shouted holy crap Ben is back! It hasn't been the same without you. I have missed you. Looks like some new and good content also. this is going to be amazing. Thank you for coming back. 46K subs I know you are going to do better than that wait till the word gets out. its been awesome to see you again.

[Rcdudetc]

This brings me back to the revision3 days. I love episodes like this. I’ll watch every minute of these. Awesome work Ben!

[BaronRosenhein]

Great video. Used to do something similar 10+ years ago in college with pic microcontrollers.


+1 for the art on the wall
+1 for practical programing illustration
+1 for references to the datasheet

[DeepfriedBeans]

Def saving this to watch later, seems like a great video to learn the basics of how a computer works

[SJFrzrbrn]

Keep this stuff going, this is the best content you've had in years. Not that the last few years were bad, but this is what I loved about watching your stuff
