So my wife wants to make a bunch of glowy santa hats (for caroling and such). She wanted to use non-addressable lights (to save the $8 on the trinkets). I was thinking, “hmm, I guess I could just use a bare attiny85.”

Google attiny85, find "http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1695," download a zip, restart the arduino IDE and blammo! Blinking lights from a bare chip.

I love the arduino ecosystem because so many people have come before solving so many difficult problems to make it so incredibly quick to go from “hmm, to oh yeah!”

Thanks again for adding the attiny85 support. I’m loving it.

Nice link! Thanks for sharing it.

(Of course for maximum cost control, you could always http://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/component-leds/5mm-blinking-red-led-20-degree-viewing-angle-2000-mcd/351/1298/ but where’s the fun in that?!?)

Also, apparently this link is more up-to-date: http://hlt.media.mit.edu/?p=1695

Link doesn’t open for me. I’ve tried to use https://code.google.com/p/arduino-tiny/ this with Arduino IDE and FastSPI, but it doesn’t work for me.
As i googled about your link -

ATTiny library from the high-low tech group of MIT:
