YES. This. This us what I always wished the element14 episodes were. Happy to see you continue making content and actually show how things are done.

These are some of the chips that I make at my job, it's nice to finally understand not just how to make them but how they actually work.

This has to be the best AVR introduction I've ever come across, much less specifically for the ATTiny10!

Ben, you rock so much. Showing the actual dates sheets and raw code from start to finish; building your own ICSP board, there's really something for everyone here. This is how I got my start with AVR chips back before arduino; and there is huge nostalgia factor here for me. One thing to keep in mind (may not be relevant to this chip), but in general when working with raw MCUs is a good idea to include a decoupling capacitor (pretty much any value ceramic cap) between VCC and GND because toggling the IO lines can cause a drop on VCC causing the MCU to misbehave (on some lines of MCUs, like the PIC16 it can cause them to just reboot mid program!) anyway, great fucking content, I love that you showed the whole development process. -- And hey, you should take a look at the V-USB library for the ATTiny / ATMega (you can create a bit bang HID device without even needing a crystal oscilator, just a few zeners! Though you'll need a bit more ram than 32 bytes!) -- Happy Holidays Ben, you fucking rock! Keep up the good work!

Think this is one of my all time favorite videos. 12V programmer design and build, implementing serial communication with a timer, and using Atmel Studio. Thanks a ton Ben!

Fascinating. I'm still back at 1977 Heathkit level knowledge. I watch your videos in awe... the kind of awe you get watching someone solving problems you didn't even know were problems.

I honestly did not know enough about electronics to know what in the flying fuck I was watching, but it was well delivered enough that I could follow along really closely. Don't change your content or delivery for dummies like me, I'll pick it up eventually.

Last year I bailed on attiny because the tutorials were too intimidating. Thank you, you made it all clear!

I like that you used a large led to show what you are doing. Even if there were small LEDs on the board it makes it easy to see what and where you are talking about.

"we only have 32 bytes of RAM" ...Congratulations, you've found something less capable than an Atari 2600 to make a portable out of

Mind-blowing what those can do. Never thought that I could reuse the reset pin. Big thanks for sharing all this knowledge. A masterpiece indeed for the one who knows what to do with it!

I’m a comp sci student, with an interest in IOT and hardware, but since I took a more software oriented path, I don’t see a lot of hardware in class. It’s so entertaining to watch someone who knows what they’re doing just work for a bit, and I learned a bunch of stuff along the way.

happy to see you continue to upload Ben!

This is a really great "howto". All details from "how to solder such a tiny chip" up to "how to program it in C" and "how to analyze via Oscilloscope". I am impressed and I learned a lot ;-) Thank you very much! Well done!

What really strikes me with Ben Hack videos is that he explains either the very basic or the very high end concepts, but not what's in the middle. It's nice that he always takes one project to a finish.

This brings me back to the revision3 days. I love episodes like this. I’ll watch every minute of these. Awesome work Ben!

Long videos are usually boring, but for some reason I really like this one!

Man, what a drop in videography production and what a huge climb in actual tech knowledge and content. Worth it.

Finally! this is what was missing from the main stream electronic channels. This is quite therapeutic tbh. Just like revising before an exam that you know you took a course on a decade ago.

Ben, This was a great video. I found the real world practical approach including the searching through the datasheet really enlightening. Glad you are still producing content. Keep up the wonderful work. Have a Happy New Year and hope to see more of this in the future!

I'd like to first thank Mr. Ben Heck for putting together this rather excellent and thorough explanation of several neat topics and second, the "UKposts algorithm" for putting it in front of me. Micro-controller programming was my favorite area of study at university. My passion for these kinds of projects has been re-ignited.

As a Computer Engineering Major I found this to be a great how to! Definitely going to try and implement these on some smaller projects! Great job!

Where were you 45 Years ago!! I think I am finally "getting" it. You explain it so clearly! Subbed. Thank You.

Hey Ben, thanks for continuing your work on your personal channel. It feels like the old bhs I subbed to many years ago. I love it. My only suggestions would be to upgrade your Mic and make a second channel which is more like an uncut version or semi live. Thanks again Ben. Oh yeh bring Felix in aswel for a celeb appearances.

Dude, this is one of the most incredible videos I've ever seen. Awesome! Thank you so much for making and uploading it!

43:44: Print "Hello"? Not Hello world? Unforgivable.

"let's get started"....pewpewpew, amazing hax....

Hey Ben, just found this channel, it's way more up my alley than what you did on the Ben Heck Show, so thank you for making great content :)

Keep this stuff going, this is the best content you've had in years. Not that the last few years were bad, but this is what I loved about watching your stuff

This tutorial could come in very handy for a project I’m working on, thanks Ben.

THERE'S A PROGRAMMER MODE ON WINDOWS CALCULATOR?! This is amazing!

Excellent, I bought some of these a couple of years ago and never got around to playing with them. This'll get me going.

Outstanding tutorial - what a great endpoint to reach in a single video!

I'm glad i leaned programming microcontrollers like that in university and get why it can be important but man am I glad an arduino is all I need for most projects. So i don't have to spend so much time in the datasheet ;D great video, well explained ;)

This is how the Ben heck show should have been. This is incredibly informative on so many levels. I especially enjoyed the programmer build right at the start. Unfortunately the audio still has some issues.

Thankyou for the super-clear description of your code; especially explaining how the bitwise operations work. I've always been hazy on how C handles this, but I understand it now. Brilliant, again, thank you.

love those little pre-made boards!! look very handy..

Def saving this to watch later, seems like a great video to learn the basics of how a computer works

Absolutely brilliant video. I tried and completed every stage and will use the notes I made, again and again, I am sure. Thank You

These videos actually made me learn something. The element14 didn't quite get that going. Thanks Ben

I recently wrote a bit banged 9600bps UART on an ATTiny24 running at 1mhz. . Used assembler to save space and had to cycle count each instruction to ensure it emitted (and received) at the right speed. The code was tiny, and really useful for debugging 😁 Great to see Ben back!

Fantastic video. I sometimes wonder if I will learn anything by watching videos like this, and I always do! Thanks for this.

I was about 3min in and thought “wait a second... I know that voice!” Glad to see you have your own channel!

Great video! Atmel studio and its complex structures and define statements can be daunting but you kept it bit banging and understandable. Thank You and make more.

Best video on bit shifting, ever! Thanks, you have explained perfectly.

Man, a lot of work went into making this video. Thank you !

Please keep doing this. This helped me learn more about interrupts and even serial! Long live the BenHeck Show!

That ASCII chart on the wall is awesome!

I have absolutely no experience with any of this stuff but this is very fascinating

I feel I'm attending a high level course on ATTiny programming, mixed up with a little bit of electronics and logics.

I just discovered this channel and love the format and vidiography. Very educational.

I love watching you in full on "Coding Mode" and I actually could not stop watching you work!!! And Yes Benjamin J. Heckendorn, it was extremely exciting and interesting and informative and I watched it from beginning to end without stopping!!!! ;) P.S. I used to watch TBHS Religiously and I miss Felix and Karen!!! :(

You're a smart guy! This was fantastic. Wish. you would do videos like this in '22.

This was very interesting! I regularly program and work with the Atmel ATMega328P and the Microchip PIC24H, and this has really inspired a lot of interesting ideas.

Interesting! I can see that a tiny microcontroller can have some pretty cool uses

This video really helped demystify what's going on behind the arduino IDE. Thank you so much.

Great video. Used to do something similar 10+ years ago in college with pic microcontrollers. +1 for the art on the wall +1 for practical programing illustration +1 for references to the datasheet

Ohh boy , This is pure quality , you can learn alot from this vid as a NOOB in programming and experimenting with MCU's. I know i did. Please mooooor of this long TUT's . AVR and PIC's. Thumbs up who want more of this.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Nice and entertaining for us geeks. Thanks for the demo. I plan to use it to read a voltage in and PWM out a signal to control a PWM speed control fan via simple voltage input. Imagine a speed control fan based on the LM35 and an op-amp.

This was freaking amazing. Please more of this kind of stuff!

At the Programming Part: in school, we used to use Atmel Studio as our main IDE, but when compared to Visual Studio with the Visual Micro extension, then the VMicro is much more convinient and forgiving when using a CH340 instead of the CP2102. And you have the features like autocomplete or one-click to compile and program. (and no need to press the reset switch while programming the atmega2560)

that was the most EPIC video/tutorial that i've watched recently! -Greetins from Turkey.

Inspiring and Educational! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world

Ben your back! my wife is happy for us. after I shouted holy crap Ben is back! It hasn't been the same without you. I have missed you. Looks like some new and good content also. this is going to be amazing. Thank you for coming back. 46K subs I know you are going to do better than that wait till the word gets out. its been awesome to see you again.

This is pure quality content The sensor and the magnet it's like the triggers on the xbox one controller :0 and happy new year guys :3

Very nice content, reminds me of the old days. Thank you!

A good tip that mounting to breadboard before soldering. I'm going to solder next module like a pro.

I think I found a new level of respect for Ben. I'll be honest I haven't been a fan in the past, but this so far has been excellent. If there is more of stuff like this I didn't know about I'm going to have to issue an apology for my negative thoughts and opinions.

i've missed this man so much

Wanted to see the uC. Learned a lot about Eagle, and some electronics tricks! Good content. Enjoyed :D

I really enjoyed this very informative episode!

Legend . I have a packet of these lol . Thanks for putting this all in one place and with so much information. I know what I'll be getting up to next weekend.

Just watched this one. Thank you Ben, this is really helpful!

Great video, thank you!!! One note, you can use a single 3PDT switch instead of 3 separate switches.

An eye opening experience. Thanks for sharing!

Great tutorial, great explanation, great examples. Thank you!

I was once scared of SMD soldering too. Yep, turned out to be quite easy with patience, even for the really small chips! Certainly not gonna be going smaller than 0603 for resistors/caps... that's still a bit fiddly for my big shaky hands!

Great tutorial!!! Very fun delivery and a great teacher!!!

Hearing just the voice I instantly recognized it as Ben! So awesome

Wow - 53 minutes flew by! It's incredible what sort of hardware and knowledge is available for hobbyists these days.

Very patient and clear, just what I needed. Thanks!

I went to an Arkells concert where they gave out cups that used a little microcontroller like this one that was program once. The radio they used to control the flashing LEDs int he cup and the batteries, etc were all bigger than the microcontroller.

Well done Ben, look at those comments, so much positive feedback! You are some kind of electronics hero, don't know what that means, but you are one ;)

This thing puts a whole new spin on the term "microcontroller" with its size!

Those are pretty neat little mcus. Used them in couple of my projects and I like them a lot. I also tried the PIC10 family, falsely thinking they are the same as those ATtinies. How surprised I was when I found they have single timer, but they DON'T HAVE INTERRUPTS.

Fascinating, I watched until the end. Great job!

What a great tutorial. Thanks Ben!

You Sir are one of the YT GOATs. Thank you!

This is some good old Ben heck content right here! Thanks Ben!

Great video, thanks a lot, love the detailed format...

I haven't dug through the datasheet for the optoisolator, so I might be going off half cocked; but, 100 ohms seems a little small on the current limiting resistor for the internal LED. Outside of that, excellent video. Reminds me of the pain of learning to program PIC chips when I was first getting started. This type of material should be a prerequisite for new developers, especially those that think Java can do anything. ;). Doing useful, timing sensitive work with 32 bytes of RAM and a tiny amount of flash is the best way for beginners to appreciate limited resources and gain a true perspective on what's really going on behind the scenes of "luxury" programming languages.

3am on Christmas Eve? That's dedication!

this is an excellent tutorial. I understood every word. Greets from Germany.

HOLY CRAP Ben!!!! This was awesome - real nuts and bolts coding and building. Just a thought ff you put those commands DEFINES into an include file on git hut then perhaps people could build a teeny tiny library for simple (read sensor --> output value) easily. Either way I loved this video and will be watching more. Thanks!

I'm so lost, definitely made for programmers; hopefully one day I'll understand, I'm buying a similar scope do it would be cool to write on the screen like that (never even KNEW that was possible!!!!). Thank you.

I stop doing anything related to uC year ago , but the joy I have watching this video had nothing to compare , 43:26 Kudos to C and all it programmers .

I Really ❤️ Your Explainable Flow Of Energy 🙏 😊 Helps Me Understand Life As I Evolve

Wonderful video. Love full tutorials like this. And you don't use a generic about section, bravo. Can't stand channels that just paste the same about in each video.

I'm so happy Ben Heck is making videos!!!

Omg thank you. That was so very informative, and helpful!!!
