content: Hello Friends of AVR 's,I am looking for a book or a good tutorial on programming an ATtiny. I bought some ATtiny as 2313, 13A, 84A, 85V, 84V because I found them interesting.I wrote a small program for ATtiny84 to make a LED blink, I loaded that on the ATtiny with the ISP Progammer, but I don't know anything about the correct use of the fuse bits, etc.Does anyone here maybe have a good recommendation ? A book should be as up to date as possible.My experience:I worked with the Z80 and 8085 in the 80's, both with hardware and programming in assembler, but that was a long time ago ;-)I have been working with Arduino since the beginning of the year, programming in C is no problem for me.Thanks a lot in advance.Many greetings,Frank

content: you might try 'AVR - Hardware und C-Programmierung in der Praxis' from Elektor. It's certainly new enough for the older ATtiny and ATmega, though it doesn't cover the newer megaAVR-0, but that shouldn't matter for your selection of ATtiny

content: Thanks for the tip.I also had Elektor in mind, but with Elektor there is unfortunately no "look into the book", so you buy a pig in a poke ;-)With other books, Amazon always grants a certain preview.

content: Thank you very much.The book seems interesting, but is a bit older. The Atmel evaluation board mentioned in the book doesn't seem to exist anymore, but that wouldn't be a big deal.Is the one mentioned in the book also suitable for the ATtiny's I mentioned?

content: programming is the same for ATmega and ATtiny; main difference are peripherals (hardware SPI/I2C on the mega vs USI on the tiny), hardware multiplication on mega, some more timers on meganot much has changed in those years in the classic world of ATtiny/ATmega; there are now the newer megaAVR-0 series, but that's another storyin the end let's face it: no book can avoid the look into the reference manual, it's just a first overlook, but it cannot spare you from studying the datasheets and application notes

content: thank you very much,yes, that is correct, there is no way around a data sheet.But as a basic introduction the Elektor book seems to be interesting.Is there another book from you (for later), which builds on the Elektor presented here ?Maybe with a small introduction to the Atmel Studio ?Additional thanks for the link.
