Thansk Spiked for mentioning the driver! I checked the overview and the device was driverless! Reinstalled Netduino SDK v4.3.1 (November 2014) and it now works like a charm!

Thanks!

Yeah, there is a lot I could do with this project. I was thinking of making a mounting rack for my Windows Phone and let it be the brain. The phone could then interact with Google/Bing maps and off we go :-) Think I need a larger vehicle, been thinking of buying this car kit for this purpose

Yepp Frode, you only need that usb thingy to program the ATTiny85. While I have not made this project to work, I did make the ATTiny85 blink a LED So it works

Really recommend soldering something together since its way more easier than looking up the pin locations and the programmers pins all the time

The hardware setup is really easy for these small modules: 5V and GND all around RX on the netduino to the data pin (one of them, not both) to the receiver (it has 4 pins). Attiny pin 3 (hardware pin 2 i think) is connected to data on the transmitter (it has 3 pins).

Hey all, thanks for the response!

@baxter the adafruit thingy looked real cool, but still "overkill" as I want to produce 5++ nodes to report back to my netduino using 433 MHz RF.

@Frode my hardware setup, enjoy :

I soldered the programmer-extender-thingy myself Version 2 of the would be with some female pin headers too so I don't have to take it on an off the breadboard all the time

- 433 Mhz transmitter / receiver set

- USBasp programmer for Attiny85/84++

Yes , I have to recharge the bank... and very often. I found this tech spec on the wiki, making me guess that the power consuption is ~53-80 mah. My bank with 2200 mah would in worst case only last for 27 hours.

27 hours is way to little, the power bank itself takes 4 hours to charge up so to make this project work I would need a larger power bank. But this project was mostly about "doing it": assemble the parts, program some logic and DIY stuff :-). To make this project work I think I would draw power from a garage or something, and have longer wires for my sensors so I could get them outside.
