You can't stack a big shield on it but for many small & simple projects the Trinket will be your go-to platform. In fact we even made some simple modifications to the Arduino IDE so that it works like a mini-Arduino board. We designed a USB bootloader so you can plug it into any computer and reprogram it over a USB port just like an Arduino. The Attiny85 is a fun processor because despite being so small, it has 8K of flash, and 5 I/O pins, including analog inputs and PWM 'analog' outputs. It's our lowest-cost arduino-IDE programmable board! Perfect for when you don't want to give up your expensive dev-board and you aren't willing to take apart the project you worked so hard to design. We wanted to design a microcontroller board that was small enough to fit into any project, and low cost enough to use without hesitation. Trinket may be small, but do not be fooled by its size! It's a tiny microcontroller board, built around the Atmel ATtiny85, a little chip with a lot of power.

I found out the pro or pro mini is not the same as the pro trinketīut what happened to the trinket in the board menu, it is not there.I checked the 1.6.7 version, but also tried the 1.0.Trinket - Mini Microcontroller - 5V Logic Adafruit 1501 DESCRIPTIONĪs of October 9th, 2015 the 5V Trinket comes with a micro-USB connector instead of a mini-USB connector! After a while the IDE reports not in sync with code 0x5d, but I have seen several other codes as well The red light stops flashing, goes red for a while (>1sec) and then starts flashing again, repeating this sequence. Then I try it with a prolific FDTI cable (which I also use with the HUZZAH) and select in the IDE COM4 which is the right device. For some reason in the IDE it states COM1 as port, I can not deselect that and after a while I get the sync error 0x30 or 0x87., Each time I try it is a different code.


Then I try to upload the blink example program. In the windows device manager is see the USBtiny device come up.

Now I try connection the trinket with a normal mini-USB cable. I choose the board: Arduino pro or pro mini, I guess that is right but the menu doen't match the 1.0.5 IDE where the trinket is a separate option. I recently bought a pro-trinket 5V and am trying to conenct it to PC.
