No, you don't need $20 programmers. I played with attiny85 microcontrollers in my pet projects. A $2 Arduino Nano is all it takes to program the chip.

- ineedasername 6y agoAh, that's right! I should have remembered, I have about 5 of them in my home shop setup.
- sgt 6y agoArduino Nano seems to be closer to $20 rather than $2. Where did you get that figure from?
- krallja 6y agoArduino is open-source. AliExpress has clones for under $2.
- sgt 6y agoFor just one unit I will just buy the original, I think, and support the project.
- snvzz 6y agoIf you really want to overpay for what's basically a commodity these days, to support a project that was already wildly successful a decade ago and has outside growth several times the size of the original project... go ahead.
