For this week we had to program our hello-echo board !

1. Installing drivers for the FTDI cable

2. Arduino IDE

I bought an FTDI cable to complete my setup and to begin programming. This time, I tried the Arduino editing environment so that I could simply change a few lines of pre-existing code to alter the behavior of my board.

Setting up Arduino IDE

After installing the package, the ATtiny24/44/84 board appeared in a subheading of the Tools > Board menu labelled ATtiny Microcontrollers along with ATtiny25/45/85.I selected the ATtiny44 processor from Tools > Processor. Then : I selected the external clock from Tools > Clock. I selected the programmer from the list of devices in Tools > Ports. Finally, I selected the programmer from Tools > Programmer .

I referenced the pin configuration of the ATtiny44 so that I could change the example file to match my as-built board configuration in which I had connected the LED to Pin 8 (in position 5 of the microprocessor).
