From: Antti on 27 Feb 2010 14:49 Hi it's blinking it's blinking, Atmel's SOT23-6 packaged processor ATtiny10 I have had the samples on my desk for some good months already but never got the time to find a programming solution, til today ! well I got some small PCBs from the fab, where I soldered the tiny10 and then well as many times before I had to make the programming solution alright this time I only modified some source converting it from LPT to USB the conversion was done within 2 hours, then some wire soldering.. and the tiny10 was identified, programmed and started to blink the LED on the board I hope I can offer the software (need some cleanup first) after the embedded ok, within some timeframe after :) Antti

Even 8 pin ones bump into the pin-count, so I've always believed a smarter limit, is 14 pins. Atmel also overlooked ANY xtal modes (?!) in the Tiny10, and it is no longer that cheap (~55c/10K) Contrast that, with the newest MSP430s - 128 bytes RAM vs 32 - 14 Pins, [;)] 10 IO, in TSOP14, and 4mm MLF16 - 25c/100k, or 37c/1K - It DOES have a 32Khz Xtal mode (downside: Narrow Vcc range) - So this part can make a smart RTC/System Monitor (for that. you'd likely choose the 46c SPI variant, or the 49c ADC model, where TI _did_ remember to include a temperature sensor!! ) -jg
