Pin configuration

Alternate development tool : WinAVR

Means, you get bored of trying to make that 2313 work with Arduino software, or you get desperate that the "blink" program once buit is 790 bytes%20 (while max is 2048)!! Ok, then you have to turn to assembler, not big deal. FYI the same program is archieved in 100 bytes%20, means roughly a factor 7 in size ... wow.

Programmer

Pololu, half the price of the official ATmel tool (1995 JPY at Switch-science.com).
Things to know:
  • Doc http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1300
  • You must have XP SP3. Installing it was not an quick task (it's veeeeeeery long) but worked fine in the end. Didn't worked with SP2, works very fine with SP3, I tried.
  • You must use a single digit COM port (force it in case). Note that I didn't had problem but just followed the documentation.
  • Tou must provide the micro chip with a good 5V if you don't want to brick it. A triple AA cells pack is NOT sufficient, just use your PC USB solid 5V.
  • Use communication speed of 200 KHz (default setting) that's waaaaay sufficient to upload the maximum 2048 bytes of your program in the blink of an eye (or so).
  • Tips for uploading code from Sparkfun tutorials http://www.sparkfun.com/commerce/tutorial_info.php?tutorials_id=142

Things to know when programming your ATtiny 2313

  • If you don't use a crystal (often the case with this small chip), you use the internal 8 MHz +/- 10% oscillator which is the factory settings, and it's cool. But by default it use factor 8 speed divider and runs at 1MHz which is not cool. So just tell the chip to be a good boy and not downscale.
    //factor settings is to divide internal clock 8MHz by 8.
    //don't, and just run at 8 MHz (set the clock divider to 1 so no effect)
    CLKPR = (1<<CLKPCE);
    CLKPR = 0; // Divide by 1 

Sample codes


Timer interrupt


Pretty long example but it shows a simple PWM AND TIMER at the same time (uses the 2 timers in the end). It was REALLY hard to find a simple example of timer interrupt on the net, the "hello world" sort of. Here I made it from info of here and there and of course the not-so-clear documentation of AVR (but when you know what you search, ok it's a good one).
Note: timer0 is 8bit and timer1 is 16bits, and when using the overflow interrupt (time it takes to become 0xFFFF) timer1 is 256 times longer than timer0 ! Obvious but hey, I had to think a little to understand it.

I2C TWI

As a master

Used in the Guitar Rod of Command project.
Holy Graal http://www.instructables.com/id/I2C_Bus_for_ATtiny_and_ATmega/
Note the following :
  • ATtiny2313 use USI not pure internal TWI, so can't wake on TWI interrupt
  • ATtiny2313 must then use the USI_I2C library which works just fine out of the box

As a slave

Used in the Laser cutter project as the LCD controller.

Things to know :
  • you can skip the external pullups if you use Attiny's internals
  • don't forget to call sei(); after initializing the USI client ! (did cost me 4 hours that one stupid miss)
