Support for Adafruit Trinket - send only? #35

Open l8gravely opened 6 years ago

l8gravely commented 6 years ago

I haven't been able to find a real answer yet, but would it be possible to use an Adafruit Trinket (ATTiny85) to implement a send-only version of this library? I'm building a little box to turn on the sound bar when the TV gets turned on, and I'd like to use a Trinket as the controller.

Is what I'd like to use. I know it's smaller in IO pins and memory, but it should be fast enough for what I need.

I'm sorry we do not support the AT Tiny 85. I did recently purchase a Trinket M0 and we should be able to officially support. I just never gotten around to figuring out the details but because we support a variety of other M0 platforms it should be pretty trivial. I hadn't really thought about an output only support for the 85 but that might be possible. One of the problems with supporting input is the limited amount of memory for a buffer. However output might be possible. Unfortunately I just haven't worked on that.

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll just have to keep looking around, there are a couple of hints on the web for people who have made send only setups work on the ATtiny85.

I've subscribed to this thread. Can you please update this thread when support for the Trinket M0 is in place? I'm in need of it for a project! Thanks!
