Ahoy Mateys!
Hopelessly Stuck
Shouldst thou find thyself hopelessly stuck, as did one miserable soul who wrote to us, we emplore thee to armor thy spirit against dispair and consider performing the rituals revealed below:
- Flagellate thyself with the ATtiny45 datasheet. (It's long and not very easy to understand. We are aware. But it does contain everything you need to know about the ATtiny45 chip...)
- Redeem thy soul by watching the AVR: Architecture, Assembly & Reverse Engineering online course. You'll learn how to nagivate that enormous datasheet, explore the inner-workings of AVR chips, and fiddle with the simulator.
And when you truly hit bottom—when that final moment of existential dread comes for what remains of your dignity—we invite you to draw power from the following incantation: SatH’oTS IaGWtL. ¹
