A while back I bought a batch of ATtiny25 microcontrollers and today I finally put one to use and got it programmed. MIT’s High-Low Tech group has put together a really nice package for programming ATtiny45s and ATtiny85s from the Arduino IDE, but it doesn’t support ATtiny25s, presumably because the limited memory doesn’t leave enough space after the bootloader is installed. I had a dickens of a time trying to find instructions to walk through programming an ATtiny25, much less on OS X; but it turned out to be pretty easy after pulling together a few separate resources. Here’s the path to blinkemness.
