Resources and Going Further
While this is a lot of information to take in, it shows how to hack the Arduino IDE to load custom board definitions. These steps should work for other ATtiny devices that are supported by the micronucleus project, such as:
You might have to modify the pins_arduino.h file, however, if you plan to use a different ATtiny.
ATtiny84 Pinout
If you need additional support, please check out the following resources.
If you want to go further with the ATtiny, please check out our additional tutorials that showcase the ATtiny:

Roshamglo Hookup Guide
This tutorial provides everything you need to know to get started with the Roshamglo badge.
Pi AVR Programmer HAT Hookup Guide
In this tutorial, we will use a Raspberry Pi 3 and the Pi AVR Programmer HAT to program an ATMega328P target. We are going to first program the Arduino bootloader over SPI, and then upload an Arduino sketch over a USB serial COM port.
SparkFun Qwiic RFID-IDXXLA Hookup Guide
The Qwiic RFID ID-XXLA is an I2C solution that pairs with the ID-LA modules: ID-3LA, the ID-12LA, or the ID-20LA, and utilizes 125kHz RFID chips. Let's take a look at the hardware used for this tutorial.
