Control Structures
Serial Communication
if(condition) #include <SoftwareSerial.h> // include library
A separate USB to serial adapter like FTDI is
{ // if condition is true, do something here needed for Serial communication with the ATtiny. SoftwareSerial tinySerial(3, 4);
} And. the ATtiny must be flashed to run at 8 MHz /* Put above setup() and loop() – declares
else instead of 1 MHz. tinySerial using 3 & 4 for Transmit (tx) and
{ // otherwise, do this Receive (rx) */
The ATtiny does not support Serial natively. You
}
need to use the SoftwareSerial library to enable tinySerial.begin(9600); /* begin Serial at 9600
this function. baud. Put this line in setup() */
for(init; condition; increment)
{ tinySerial.print(“”); /* sends data on TX line
// do this, increment, and – to your receiving computer. */
// repeat while condition is true. tinySerial.println(“”); /* sends data to Serial
} Monitor with CRLF. */
inChar = tinySerial.read();
