Hi    I'm having trouble getting my Arduino Uno to acknowledge the ATtiny85 . I've tried copying the ATtiny URL to Additional Boards Managers URLs under preferences but I keep getting an error message at the bottom of my sketch and nothing for the ATtiny shows up in  Board Manager. I got the URLs from a few different sources , and tried it several times but nothing . Has anyone else experienced this?

Post the error message.

What do you mean 'I got the URLs from a few different sources' there should only be one URL.

Did you follow instructions such as at the following link?

    ATTinyCore Installation

Please note the supported IDE versions mentioned.

Cheers

@zander   I got a few from the Youtube sites I watched on programming the ATtiny85 chip. They were in the show more area . They were different from the github one . They may of used a different IDE verson . We have things working now . Thanks for the reply Gee

@gee Every community library I have got was from github. Stick with the larger YT sources like DBWS, The Swiss Guy Andreas Spiess and a few others.

@gee I forgot to mention, there will be ONLY one official supported library location, and it is usually github. If you see something else in a YT video, do a github search on the primary keyword(s). Also the size of the YT channel will be an indicator.
