I wrote a crummy review on it and was about to throw them all away(I have about 10). I was so mad but then I was playing with attinys and i figured i should try again and saw your video. I was used to plugging in the device first to get the port situated correctly. I had no Idea it would work without setting the port but after seeing your video i tried and worked every time. Thank you so much for making this video.
This worked for me on Win10 arduino ide 1.8.13 My only issue is I needed to have the device unpluged when I clicked to compile the code and pluged it in once the bottom text asked for it.
My digispark will plug-in and the computer will say connected disconnected connected disconnected etc. and my other digital spark will say connected but it’ll still have a device search and never get found, any solutions?
@@SimpleElectronics I'm on Windows with Arduino 1.8.11 and I downloaded everything that it asked about while installing, is there another separate driver? I also did restart my computer
Had the same problem took me all day to find a solution, in Device Manager change view to 'Show Hidden Devices' and it should be listed as either 'Unknown' under 'Other Devices' or as 'Digispark Bootloader' under 'libusb-win32 devices', select whichever one it is and manually update the driver using the entire unzipped Digistump.Drivers folder. It doesn't have to be connected to do this as Windows will remember any device that has ever been connected to it, and you should now be able to burn your program onto the device.
Having so much trouble with this boards. I manage to flash few times but now I have many problems with flashing, looks like flashed but its not. So strange. VMA108 is the one I use
Ordered a couple today and all of them got dead. One of the diodes got glowing red the first time I plug them and then nothing. Could it be that I connect them without installing the drivers beforehand. I'm also using Ubuntu 24 to test them. Somebody? Thinking of asking for a refund to the Amazon seller cuz of the faulty diodes on it, but not sure if it was my fault.
Did you try the same exe he used in the video? if you try to use Install Drivers.exe it will not install the correct ones, it installs the 32bit version , hence the compatibility error.
@@SimpleElectronics Oh I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure it out. My goal was to have a computer app communicate with the the device and have the rgb lights change color. I ran into some undetermined conflict between the digiusb and arduino_neopixel. I could do one or the other, but when both libraries are there neither works. I tried digicdc (which i think is the newer digiusb?) but i couldn't get that to work either. Thanks for the reply though. It was appreciated.
There are two bootloader files. Which one to install? I installed "Install Drivers.exe". I did not get the "Installing Digispark Bootloader" progress message box. After two attempts, I could change the factory-set blink rate. Overall, it is a good video. Will come back again for other videos. Upvoted and subscribed.
hey, loved ur video can you help me with something I want to do tiny programming to it I want to use it as auto keys pressers when I plug it .. it auto presses numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 repeatedly just like any auto pressing software script, but I want it to be coming from a hardware
I am not 100% sure but I know this thing doesn't have the power and storage to run a lot of the libraries available for Arduino - it's a tiny and cheap chip after all!
(Solved) First, thank you so much for uploading this tutorial. Unfortunately, my pc doesn't seem to recognize my Digispark board, despite me installing all necessary drivers. When I plug it in, the LED lights up, but nothing happens on Windows. It doesn't matter which usb port I use. I did a bit of research but couldn't find any solution. If someone can think of what might be the problem, please let me know!
@@SimpleElectronics It's finally working! But to my own surprise, it wasn't a driver problem. After everything I tried, Windows started to recognize the board when I connected it to a USB 2.0 extension cable. Apparently it was not making good contact with the ports of the pc, maybe because they are 3.0 ports instead of 2.0? Who knows. Anyway, thanks for your help and I hope this comment helps others too!
@@SimpleElectronics I figured it out. Certain Anti viruses will keep it from functioning. I had already downloaded and installed drivers. Did it on a fresh machine and it worked within 5 minutes
Good day, Sir. I've been trying to program this ATTiny85 MCU for MONTHS .. well, okay, for weeks (but it sure fell like months LOL) and did everything you describe in your great video, without success, I must confess. I run Windows 7 and the latest IDE Software. I've loaded and installed the drivers and that seemed successful .. and rebooted the PC, of course. One thing that I think would keep me from successfully complete this task is that it seems my computer does NOT recognize the device I'm plugging into its USB port(s) (ATtiny85 MCU .. the one you show on the right at the beginning of your video). Do you have a solution to cure this problem ? Thank you for your time and effort in assisting me on this .. I'm at loss. Have a great day and stay safe. I hope to read from you soon.
Ok just to check, 1: you have nothing connected to the pins of the digispark when uploading the code? 2: you are only plugging the board in when it says "uploading" and 3: could it be a faulty board?
@@SimpleElectronics Thank you for your quick reply. It is well appreciated. 1). I only have he bare board connected to the USB cable. No other connection is present. 2). I connect the board only when asked to do so. Since the board is not recognized by the PC, it times out after a while (60 seconds or so). 3). I don't think the board is defective. I bought 10 of these boards and tried 3 of them out without success. It is very frustrating y'know .. LOL One thing that might be a hint to you is that the Blink Sketch was not preloaded into these mini MCUs. Thank you for your precious time in helping me solve this issue. Like I said before, it is well appreciated, be assured. Have a great day and, most of all, stay safe and healthy.
Hmm the bootloader may not be installed! Also, stupid question (but I've done dumber things) do you have the one with the microusb or the usb cutout on the board? If it's the micro usb, try a different cable and if it's the cutout, try putting it in the usb port the other way around!
@@SimpleElectronics Hahaha ! I get your drift ! Hahaha !! I have the one model with the microUSB connector, and I'm using the same cable I use for all my programmings so, the cable is assumed to be good. I also tried several USB ports on the PC (Laptop) .. running Windows 7 Professional. Thanks again, Sir.

They're fun little boards for all sorts of projects.
Best demo I've seen on how to start using the Attiny85 micro-controller for new users, thanks.
Thank you very much, i was struggling with this small device for two days. Your tutorial helped :)
So happy that I could help out! I love these little digispark devices!
Holy moly I just ran across these to shrink down a project of mine. Cheap and small...check!
They are fantastic and they seem to be cheaper than the bare attiny85 chips sometimes
Thank you, that was a very helpful video.
Thanks, I got one now I will try do that
Cool explanation!
Thanks for this tutorial
Thank you for letting me know it was useful! I wish you great success in your projects!
I'd like to see a guide on making one of these digispark boards into a modchip for a ps1 using the open source PSnee sketch.

I could not find the port after installing the driver and arduino preference. Help please.
My port is grayed out, doesn't use it. But I was still able to upload code successfully

Have you installed the drivers and restarted your PC? what OS are you using?

@@dominicwilfong check the description of the video: there are drivers there
Change USB if you use with USB, or install drivers idm

@@SimpleElectronics can you please do more of this?
Thank you
absolutely; do you have anything specific in mind?
@@SimpleElectronics what about how to protect ourselves against this kind of attacks and rubber duckies ?
@@javiporras3396 what kind of attacks?
Nice tutorial. What protocol does it use for programming?
Serial, almost certainly, you can just use the arduino IDE
Having so much trouble with this boards. I manage to flash few times but now I have many problems with flashing, looks like flashed but its not. So strange. VMA108 is the one I use
Odd! They can be quirky!
i install driver. but still it show unknow device. i try so many times . is there any other way ?
Are you following all the instructions? specifically the timing of plugging it in when it says "uploading" and not before that?
Ordered a couple today and all of them got dead. One of the diodes got glowing red the first time I plug them and then nothing. Could it be that I connect them without installing the drivers beforehand. I'm also using Ubuntu 24 to test them. Somebody?

please help me..installing digistump bootloader,how can i do that
Is it possible to send commands to the device? How would I investigate that if so? I want to turn a light off and on, with python or powershell.
No idea to be honest.

What is the difference between the 2 boards
The form factor of the USB connection - that's it!
There are two bootloader files. Which one to install? I installed "Install Drivers.exe". I did not get the "Installing Digispark Bootloader" progress message box.

I am not 100% sure but I know this thing doesn't have the power and storage to run a lot of the libraries available for Arduino - it's a tiny and cheap chip after all!
@@SimpleElectronics How many bytes of code can it run?
about 6kb
i DOOO, IT, alot
didnt work for me im using the usb one and its coming up with unknown device
Did you try using a 2.0 usb port? Make certain that your cable has data transfer capability. :)
Hy when i tray to upload a code i get this "error" : The screen cannot be set to the number of lines and columns specified.
