Just got a shipment of some ATTINY261 chips. These are
actually the “261V” chips – lower voltage requirements and lower
rated maximum speeds. It looks like digi-key is clearing some of
them out of stock, so they’re at a pretty good price point. I
bought them because they have two full 8-bit ports and a pretty
easy-to-work-with pinout. (Is there a term for when the ground and
power are the center pins rather than the corner pins?) Anyway,
I’ll post more details once I’ve had more time with them. I haven’t
worked with them before, but I’m glad to report the USBtiny
programmer works with the ATTINY261. The 261 is also listed on my
favorite fuse calculator: href="http://www.engbedded.com/fusecalc/">Engbedded AVR Fuse
