Flashing the ATTiny85

You will need to install the board for your Arduino IDE. Just open the board manager in the IDE and installattiny by David A Mellis. The board is the attiny85 with 16Mhz internal clock. It's recommended to use an ISP programmer, so you can avoid the bootloader.

If you are advanced user you may ask why the reset pin is still active, and why are we connecting buttons and resistances to it. We use a small trick to get around this "problem", so we can use the pin as a button too. You don't have to worry about this if you copy the schematics correctly.

Digispark ATTiny85 clones

If you are planning to use one of these, you will need to install the Micronucleus Agressive bootloader from https://github.com/micronucleus/micronucleus

It's not recommended to use these, as the upload process can get quite complicated. It randomly fails, and I've killed a few of these in the process. The firmware is too big to fit next to the normal bootloader, and the aggressive bootloader is problematic.
