This week, I learned how to program an ATTiny44 using the Arduino programming environment.

This is the RGB LED that I used. Originally, I was using the wrong pin configuration (I had the anode and G swapped).

The example used for my board design: here

LED I'm using(FKB) specs: here

I used the “High-tech Low-tech” page for learning how to program the ATtiny44 using Arduino 1.0.5: found here

1. setting the button resistor value to high
2. I had to resolder/hack the RGB led to get it to work because I had the anode and G pins swapped (I looked up the data sheet)
3. I had the wrong resistor on the VCC pin (1k rather than 10k)
4. my cable was broken (even though I’m certain I pressed down hard enough)
5. When programming, I found that if the delay was set too low that it would blink way too fast.
6. To create a PNG, all I had to do was turn off most of the layers and save as a monochrome PNG with a decent resolution (I used 2,000dpi).
