Digispark USB Development Board
The Digispark is an Attiny85 based microcontroller board similar to the Arduino line, only cheaper, smaller, and less powerful. I had the Arduino Leonardo and almost got the Teensy for its small size. But before I checked out the Teensy, I chanced upon the Digispark and decided to get it for some USB device emulation work.
| Digispark Technical Specifications | |
|---|---|
| Microcontroller | Attiny85 |
| Clock speed | 16.5 MHz |
| Storage | 8K Flash Memory (about 6K after bootloader) |
| Power | USB or External Source – 5V or 7-35V (automatic selection) On-board 500mA 5V regulator |
| Features | + Built-in USB (and serial debugging) + USB device emulation + 6 I/O Pins |
| IDE | Arduino IDE 1.0+ (OSX/ Win/ Linux) |
| SRP | US$8.95 |
The specifications are not spectacular but it does USB device emulation properly. Will be great if I can hook up a microSD storage to it!
