# Overview TinyHVSP is a stand-alone high-voltage serial programmer and fuse resetter for ATtiny 13/25/45/85. This project was superseded by the more versatile [TinyCalibrator](https://github.com/wagiminator/ATtiny84-TinyCalibrator). - Project Video (YouTube): https://youtu.be/2Q7D2RwkOMg - Firmware (Github): https://github.com/wagiminator/ATtiny84-TinyHVSP  # Hardware The TinyHVSP is supplied with 5V via a [Micro USB connector](https://aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=micro+usb+2pin+dip). The [ATtiny24/44/84](http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/devicedoc/Atmel-7701_Automotive-Microcontrollers-ATtiny24-44-84_Datasheet.pdf) was chosen as the microcontroller for the TinyHVSP because it has the necessary number of GPIO pins. To generate the 12V for the High-Voltage Serial Programmer, an inexpensive [MT3608](https://datasheet.lcsc.com/szlcsc/XI-AN-Aerosemi-Tech-MT3608_C84817.pdf) boost converter IC was used. The 12V is controlled by a BJT and applied to the RESET pin of the target ATtiny if necessary. The remaining programming lines to the target are protected against a short circuit with resistors. The user interface utilizes one button and a [128x64 pixels OLED display](http://aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=128+64+0.96+oled+new+4pin).  # Software ## High-Voltage Serial Programmer The code for the High-Voltage Serial Programmer (HVSP) is quite unspectacular. Simply put, for each action, a series of instructions are sent over the data lines to the target ATtiny and the corresponding response is read. The process and the instructions are well described in the data sheet.  ## I²C OLED Implementation The I²C protocol implementation is based on a crude bitbanging method. It was specifically designed for the limited resources of ATtiny10 and ATtiny13, but it works with some other AVRs (including the ATtiny24/44/84) as well. The functions for the OLED are adapted to the SSD1306 OLED module, but they can easily be modified to be used for other modules. In order to save resources, only the basic functionalities which are needed for this application are implemented.

Connect a 5V power supply to the micro USB port. 2. Place the ATtiny13/25/45/85 in the IC socket. Use an [SOP adapter](https://aliexpress.com/wholesale?SearchText=sop-8+150mil+200mil+adapter) for SMD parts. 3. Press OK-button and follow the instructions on the display.  # References, Links and Notes 1. [TinyCalibrator](https://github.com/wagiminator/ATtiny84-TinyCalibrator) 2.
