You can use my simple Analog to Serial code : /* So if you are doing your first steps with the ATtiny, be prepared that many things that 'just worked' with the Uno will require extra/different code before they could work with the ATtiny (and some won't work at all). Also, most of the code base out there is targeting the Uno and not ATTiny. Switching the board to UNO makes the problem go awayĪs a side note, switching to the Uno will make most ATtiny problems 'go away' since the Uno is much more equipped than ATtiny85/4, both on the MCU level and on the breakout board level, which you get with the Uno (and which you don't get when working directly with a chip like ATtiny). Note that it is not going to work 'out-of-the-box' as with the Arduino Uno The ATtiny does not have the same FTDI hardware for communicating directly with USB, so for sending and receiving serial messages using the ATtiny you will have to either use the Arduino Uno as a proxy (using the Uno's pins 0 & 1) or to use dedicated USB to Serial hardware similar to this one. If it's not there, then the folder is not located properly under the 'libraries', verify the path as mentioned above (did you move it?)įinally, when you will be able to compile your code, try using the SoftwareSerial example that comes with the library to check it.
Last but not least, if the SoftwareSerial folder exist, you could use the Arduino IDE to check if the IDE can identify its existance, by going to Sketch->Import Library, and looking for SoftwareSerial. Verbose output can help you track down any compiler command line errors, like missing include folders. Another angle that might shed more light on this error, would be to turn on the verbose output for the compiler (you can do it in the Arduino IDE, by choosing File->Preferences-> "Show verbose output during" and checking "compilation"). Make sure that you can find the ATtiny 85 in the board list, at Tools->Board and that it is selected. I would still recommend following the re-installation as mentioned in the previous bullet. If it does exist, and you still get this compiler error, then you must have a corrupted installation (perhaps the compiler include folders is messed up). #Softwareserial library download zip file
Installation instructions are located in the README file inside the ATTiny core zip file

If it doesn't, then you should probably re-download the Arduino IDE installation, and after that install the ATtiny core files as per the instructions (important!). Make sure the library folder exists in the location mentioned above. So, to mitigate this, I would recommend that you will: This indeed seems quite odd, since this library does not require any special installation, and as mentioned, is part of the libraries that are built into the Arduino IDE installation. The compiler error you receive seems to imply that the compiler cannot find the header file (SoftwareSerial.h) for SoftwareSerial library. If you have downloaded the latest version of Arduino IDE from the Arduino Website, you should be able to find the SoftwareSerial library files located at: \libraries\SoftwareSerialĮxample for SoftwareSerial library files you should expect to find there are SoftwareSerial.cpp and SoftwareSerial.h.įatal error: SoftwareSerial.h: No such file or directory The SoftwareSerial is a library that comes with the Arduino IDE zip/installation. It contains the necessary files that will help you compile and upload code from Arduino IDE to the ATtiny (even when using ArduinoISP as programmer).

The link you provided is not hardware, but software called the ATtiny core files. It's not left out, on the contrary.īut before addressing to the compiler error you mentioned, a small clarification:
