Anybody in Arduino land that can solve this one?

I have an #attiny88 and the #arduino IDE downloaded last night.

I have the ATTiny88 connected by USB but the system isn't giving me a port so it can't use it

Gosh... I put 4 videos up today on www.britishtechguru.org.

All on SBCs - #ATTiny88 and #Arduino #Nano #Every

I'm thinking I need to do a speed test for my Tiny88, Pi Pico and Arduino Nano Every. My initial thought is to do something like..

Zero timer and counter
start timer
Main point
Add to counter
If timer greater than 10 seconds print counter and quit
Else go back to main point

I'm thinking I should stick to C++ on the Nano and 88 but python on the pi, simply because it will reflect how people actually use the SBCs. Not many want to jump through the hoops needed to do c++ on the Pico.

#sbc #arduino #nano #every #python #cpp #tiny88 #attiny88 #pi #pico #pipico

Yay! I finally discovered how to make the ATTiny88 work. Very un-intuitive process.

It is NOT compatible with the Arduino Nano as claimed by most sellers.

This core can be installed using the boards manager. The boards manager URL is:

http://drazzy.com/package_drazzy.com_index.json

File->Preferences on a PC, or Arduino->Preferences on a Mac, enter the above URL in "Additional Boards Manager URLs
Tools -> Boards -> Boards Manager...
Select "ATTinyCore by Spence Konde" and click "Install".

#arduino #attiny88 #robotics

"device with unknown new version of Micronucleus detected.This tool doesn't know how to upload to this new device. Updates may be available.Device reports version as: 2.2"

That's a really interesting error message. I'm getting that when I try to use my ATTiny88 on my Linux Mint laptop using the Arduino IDE .

Hmm.... This $2 SBC from China is proving most problematic! I'll probably give it another day or two before putting it in the box of problem devices which I'll probably go though in a couple of years when software has all caught up and rendered them useful.

To me, if it doesn't work pretty quickly then it's not worth more of my time as I could be spending that time on other devices that will work.
