ATtiny85 Microcontroller, 8-pin PDIP

Got a 3-pack and all of them worked perfectly right out of the box. They’re great for small microcontroller projects where you don’t need a full-sized board. Easy to program with Arduino IDE and they take up almost no space. Perfect for quick prototyping or permanent installs. Would definitely buy again.

I love these devices, and have a lot of plans for various projects incorporating them. I didn't realize Arduino's are just these (or more powerful versions) with easy to use headers..They can be programmed directly from Arduino's software using another Arduino, or using something like USB Tiny flasher. I have used both, and can be set to use extremely low power requirements with watchdog timers. You can literally perform various tasks (using timers) and kept them going for 1-2 years using Coin batteries. Don't expect to do anything too complicated though to have that amount of time from the batteries..

I only needed one of these for a specific project that didn't require a lot of I/O pins, but it's nice to have more than one in case of a disaster or just to try out alternate versions of software. I was already familiar with the Arduino programming environment, so that was the easiest and least expensive way for me to program these microcontrollers. All in all, you get a lot of functionality for the price.

I've programmed two of these ATTiny85 so far and they work well and are exactly as advertised. I would purchase these again or recommend them to others.

All MCU's worked! Packaged with the pin's integrity in mind in a neat little rail for them all to fit on. I'm happy about that because I've ordered some 328P's that were in nothing but a plastic bag with nothing to keep the pins from being bent.

The ATtiny85s from this supplier work great when programmed via Arduino ICSP and are much nicer for prototyping compared to PIC MCUs. Would highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. I liked that I was able to burn the boat loader to 2 out of 3 ATTINY85 IC’s. Having all 3 work would’ve been a 5 star ⭐️ review. Seller can solve this by shipping o e replacement IC.

Arrive in appropriate packaging. I’ve only programmed one of them and it seemed to work.
