Description

 

ATtiny ShieldCase is a 3D-printable programming shield for Arduino UNO designed to make programming ATtiny13/25/45/85 chips effortless. Whether you're prototyping or just uploading a quick sketch, this little tool snaps on top of your UNO and does it all — no breadboards, no confusing wiring, no guesswork.

The shield features:

  • 🟢 Heartbeat LED – Shows your programmer is ready.
  • 🟡 Programming LED – Blinks during upload.
  • 🔴 Error LED – Lights up if upload fails.
  • 🔵 PB4 Blink Test LED – Instantly verify your sketch with a Blink test right on the shield!
  • 🔌 Clearly marked pins and socket orientation.
  • 🛡️ Sturdy 3D-printed enclosure hides the DIY internals and protects your circuit.

📦 What You Need:

  • ✅ DIP8 socket for ATtiny13/25/45/85
  • ✅ 4x LEDs (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue)
  • ✅ 4x 220Ω resistors
  • ✅ 1x 10µF capacitor (to disable auto-reset on UNO)
  • ✅ 4x M2x8mm self-tapping screws
  • ✅ 4x6 protoboard (or adapt size to match your case)
  • ✅ Male header pins and jumper wires
  • ✅ Arduino UNO (or compatible)

🧠 Full Fritzing schematic included for easy wiring
🧰 Build once, and program any ATtiny chip with confidence and zero mess

Why Use It?

Programming ATtinys usually means:

  • Breadboarding all over again
  • Searching for pinouts
  • Rewiring just for a simple Blink test

ATtiny ShieldCase eliminates all of that. Pop the shield on your UNO, drop your chip into the socket, upload a sketch, and test it instantly with the onboard PB4 LED.

The case also includes:

  • Engraved notes (pin labels, chip direction)
  • Neat cutouts for status LEDs
  • Simple assembly (just 4 screws)

Perfect For:

  • ATtiny hobbyists
  • Makers automating their workflow
  • Educators teaching AVR programming
  • Anyone tired of spaghetti wires
