In an instructable "Make an Attiny13 based IR proximity sensor for $2.42
(http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-an-Attiny13-based-IR-proximity-sensor-

Unfortunately the core files that are linked to do not contain the boards.txt file
(/id/Make-a-spigot-for-a-
that will let the Attiny 13 show up as choice under 'Tools-boards' in the IDE. If

you are a novice at installing core files this may seem daunting, but since I just
did it, I thought I'd just share that knowledge with you.

I got this 'boards.txt' file from here (http://elabz.com/arduino-shrunk-how-to-
use-attiny13-with-arduino-ide/), but had to adapt it a little as that file 'sneekishly'
suddenly changes the programmer in its last definition and also I had big
trouble getting more than 2 boards to show up, until I realised that 2 of the
board definitions carried the same name, so I had to change that as well.
So, just as a final check that you have done everything right:
Go to your hardware folderYou should see a folder there called attiny13
Open that folder
It should have 2 entries: a folder called 'cores' and a text file called 'boards.txt'
open the folder 'cores'
That should have one entry: a folder called 'core13'
open 'core13'. There you should find 13 files with 'h', 'c' and 'cpp' extensions.
To make it easy I made a zip file (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52513692/attiny13.zip)
(https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://dl.dropbox.com/u/52513692
/attiny13.zip&embedded=false&chrome=false&dov=2) that should unpack with
the right directory structure. Unzip it in the 'hardware' folder

I was actually trying to install the 13 files and not working. Then i came across
your ible on it and you saved the day. Works perfectly.

Nice work!

Did you also have to change the wiring.c like it says here
(http://tekstop.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/programming-attiny13-using-arduino-
isp-and-all-the-hacking-involved/)? I think I ended up needing to do that to get the
blink program to work at the right speed. It may not matter for the IR sensor.

No I did not do that. I did not try the
(/member blink program, just quickly a few other
/diy_bloke/)
statements and that worked. I did not
really set out to validate the core, just
to instruct how to install the available
one.
A quick test showed me it was working

Let me add that I am not sure if the
(/member link you gave above is the same core
/diy_bloke/)
and I used the 22 IDE, not the 1.0

I checked a bit further and it seems

Installing Attiny13 core files http://www.instructables.com/id/Installing-Attiny13-core-files/
deals with a different core. That wiring.c has references to the 44 and 84,
whereas the one I describe above (that is coming from yr ibble :-) ) does
not have these. Also the header file 'iotn13.h' is not present in the core
(from 'Smeezekitty' you and I link to, suggesting the change in wiring.c
involves a different core.
