This is the first episode in a new series on bare metal programming with the AVR®Tiny2 (ATtiny1627 family of MCUs). This first video covers what bare metal programing is, and how to...

Add Device Family Packs to MPLAB® X IDE
Find the datasheet using MPLAB X IDE
Use tech briefs and macros for human readable bare metal code.

This series will cover setting up peripherals on the Tiny2 and will culminate in a small project.
