Programming the ATTiny85, Arduino Style

    This is a sort of a continuation of the last post. In the last post, I showed how to load the ATTiny85 cores into the Arduino IDE. If that worked for you, cool! This how to actually program the chip. If it didn't work... put a comment somewhere. I'll try to help.
    Anyway, programming the ATTiny is very easy. The only thing you really need to do is set up a target board. This is either a breadboard, perfboard, or PCB circuit that interfaces the ATTiny to an Arduino board. The circuit should have these connections:

This is called ISP circuit. The chips communicate over
SPI via this configuration.
