I pulled some from a printer or something, so what exactly can they do ? Are they like a mini- computer, like a mini-ardinuo ? I'm busy doing 3 other things, so I can't read the data sheet, and most of it is too detailed. What do u need to talk to them and have them do something cool ? I learning analog, don't know much digital or programming yet. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/atmel-42505-8-bit-avr-microcontrollers-attiny102-attiny104_datasheet.pdf I see it has an ADC input, so I do have an ADC chip and its programmable. |

It's a microcontroller. You use a programmer to program it. Look at something simple like AVRDude or USBASP ... here's an example: https://www.ebay.com/itm/USBASP-USBISP-AVR-Programmer-Adapter-10-Pin-Cable-USB-ATMEGA8-ATMEGA128-Arduino/310506909410 Listing doesn't include ATtiny102 but it would probably work. These are more "legit" but you'll have to check the notes to see if that particular chip is supported: list of AVR programmers You can download programming software from Microchip's website (because they bought the Atmel company so they now make the AVR microcontrollers). I'm not sure the chip can be programmed using the Arduino software, it's too "light", too little memory and features... but I may be wrong. |

An attiny is a family of atmel microcontrollers. This particular chip can be programmed as an arduino with an isp or another arduino acting as an isp. It has multiple adc inputs. Multiple pwm outputs and other peripherals like timers and counters. |

Note that this device has only 1k of flash memory and just 32 bytes of SRAM, compared to 32k flash and 2k SRAM for the typical ATMega328 in an Arduino. |
| HB9EVI:
worth to mention also that Attinys do not have 8x8 hardware multiplication like the Atmega do; depending on the needs, you maybe choose one or the other platform |
