Getting Started with Adafruit Trinket: 15 Projects with the Low-Cost AVR ATtiny85 Board

I enjoyed the book for the most part. But to say, "This library may not work with Trinket unless you make changes.."(paraphrased) is not a "Getting Started" level suggestion as it assumes considerable coding skills have already been mastered - not to mention leaving the reader with a number of hanging, unresolved issues. The hardware illustrations are certainly non-technical "beginner level" but the software issues seem to blur into discussions of Uno (et al), drifting away from "Getting Started" with Trinket. I hope that's fair. I will re-read the book and edit / re-submit. The book does provide many links to other resources - always a plus.

Good introduction to the Adafruit Trinket before investing in the boards. Can also apply to the Adafruit Gemma wearable. Major complaint with this book and most Make: books, is the lack of a table of contents at the beginning of the book. I like to scan the TOC for the list of topics and projects.

It's targeted at a very inexperienced audience, and so (IMO) omits many details and explanation that would help the reader answer "what-if" questions (e.g. "What happens if I change the sample code in this way?") and get a deeper understanding of what's going on and how to make it do something specific to your needs. Disclaimer: I'm a veteran software/hardware developer, so I know I'm not part of the target audience, but still I think the book could dig somewhat deeper, like some other similar titles I've read.

The trinket is one of the best controllers for developing with. The projects in the book are good for learning and great fun.

Book is very good. I did still need to follow the information of the adafruit web site.

i love gadgets, and microprocessors and how things work.. very good book on how to use this little workhorse

Not bad. A little out of my interest zone except for the technical information part.

Halfway through; excellent tutorial on the trinket via projects. Even a smaller controller than the Ardweeny but much more limited. Nevertheless, for hidden projects using low power and point-to-point sensors, the trinket shines. And this instructional points the way in a most effective manner.

Good book, simple and easy to follow with good results
