A Short and Simple Guide To Bootloading The Attiny-85 or 45

This document provides a 7-step guide to bootloading an ATtiny-85 or 45 microcontroller using an Arduino Uno. The steps include: 1) uploading the Arduino ISP bootloader to the Arduino, 2) connecting a capacitor between the ATtiny's reset and ground pins, 3) connecting power and ground wires to the breadboard, 4) connecting specific pins between the Arduino and ATtiny, 5) placing the ATtiny on the breadboard with pin 1 in the top left corner, 6) uploading code to the ATtiny using the programmer upload option, and 7) ensuring the Arduino hardware folder includes files for the ATtiny.

A Short and Simple Guide to Bootloading the ATtiny-85 or 45

You will need:


Arduino Uno
Breadboard with Textool
ATtiny85
10uF 16V electrolytic capacitor

Step 1: Plug in the Arduino and select File in the toolbar. Then go to Examples
and click on Arduino ISP and click upload.
Step 2: Place a 10uF capacitor with the positive leg in RESET and the negative
leg in GND.
Step 3: Connect a red wire with one end in 5V and the other to the positive bus-
line on the breadboard.
Step 4: Connect a black wire with one end in GND and the other end in the
negative bus-line on the breadboard.
Step 5: Using 4 more wires, you will be occupying pins 10-13 on the Arduino
uno and is as follows:
Arduino Pin 10 ---> ATtiny Pin 1
Arduino Pin 11 ---> ATtiny Pin 5
Arduino Pin 12 ---> ATtiny Pin 6
Arduino Pin 13 ---> ATtiny Pin 7
Additionally, the ATtiny needs to connect to power and ground:
Arduino +5V ---> ATtiny Pin 8
Arduino Ground ---> ATtiny Pin 4

Using the Textool enables quick pop-n-lock for bootloading several ATtinys in
a short period of time.

The bootloader should look like this:

Step 6: Place the chip with pin 1 being in the top left corner (next to the yellow
wire as shown in the picture)

Step 7: Upload the desired code to the ATtiny85/45 by using Upload using
Programmer or Ctrl + Shift + U.
ATtiny now has the code! No burning is necessary prior to uploading code.
**Ensure that the Arduino has the folder for ATtiny in hardware section if a
problem arises, if not then download here:
