I want a development board for Attiny 2313 chip. I have searched for Attiny 2313 development boards but couldn't find any. So are there any development boards available or do I need to make one??

 

I don't think i have ever seen one. Personally, i would not use the ATtiny2313, and just use the ATmega328P instead, since it most of the things you would ever need. Either use the single chip, which also comes in DIP, or use an Arduino Nano clone for 3 dollars on eBay/Aliexpress. If you don't need a lot of pins, use the ATtiny85, which also comes DIP. The ATtiny84 is similar to the ATtiny2313, and it also has 8 ADCs, but it's not so cheap.

Anyway, i would use this Arduino Core for ATtiny2313, ATtiny84 and ATtiny85: https://github.com/SpenceKonde/ATTinyCore

If you make your own board, you can just program it using ISP, i have done it a few times myself. But yeah, i would go for ATmega328P or ATtiny85.

 

Thanks. I'll check the ATmega328P or ATtiny85.

 

ATtiny2313 is a good chip but not that much to play with id use ATmega328P or ATtiny85 too there a lot better

 

ATtiny2313 is a great chip and can be used in applications where ATmega328 would be overkill. I used the ATtiny2313 for a ultra low power electrical conductivity remote data logger.

Originally, STK500 development kit would be used for code development. Now that Microchip has acquired Atmel, there are newer offerings.

I would buy the least expensive development kit or programming pod, such as ATMEGA168PB-XMINI and use the SPI header to program the ATtiny2313.

Download Atmel Studio 7 for software development.

Edit: Now that I am thinking about this, I am going to create a blog for this.

Why would you buy an (somewhat) expensive development kit when every Arduino board can be used to program Atmel chips over ICSP/ISP/SPI (Arduino as ISP)? And every Arduino clone on eBay/Aliexpress already have bootloaders and USB ports ready to go.

And in case you didn't know, ATtiny2313, ATtiny85 and ATmega328p has almost identical current consumption, see snippets from datasheets:

Is there any reason to choose a chip with 18 IOs, but only 3 PWM and zero ADC? ATmega328P and ATtiny85 covers a very big range of possible microcontroller projects, with many features, and either low pin count or high pin count, for almost the same price.

Regarding the Arduino Nano clones, there is no way any hobbyist can beat the price of these, with USB ports, UART-to-serial chip, voltage reg, etc. They are cheap and small enough to just leave in your projects: https://www.ebay.com/itm/1PCS-mini-...759569?hash=item2ca69b5851:g:aHAAAOSwLN5WiNjA

 

Because maybe you don't want to use Arduino platform?

You don't have to use the arduino ide but one time that's to load it with that arduino as isp
then you can program what you want using avrdude and whatever ide you want.

Or do like I did take a ATtiny2313 and made a programmer it even works with just usb and avrdude.

I use it for programming most avr chips

I too have made my own programmer. I even wrote my own assembler long before official IDEs became available.
No, I wouldn't go that route. I want something off-the-self so that whoever is interested can have access.
