Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as ...

Sometimes you don't need a large microcontroller to get your work done. In this installment, TK teaches us how to use the ATtiny combined with Arduino to use the PWM function found on this chip.

He finally got around to etching this ATtiny85 programming adapter. If the project is not pin hungry, an ATtiny85 can run Arduino sketches without the need to port the code.

The tutorial is fairly straightforward, and even demonstrates how the Arduino can be used as an ISP for the ATtiny, removing the need to purchase a standalone programmer.
