Problem with programming digispark ATtiny85 board with Arduino IDE
i=i++; //increment by one
The result of the above statement is not defined. That is, it is not necessarily "i + 1".

Attiny85 appears to be drawing 0.2mA current but battery running down more quickly
2.9V doesn't sound too bad. See a datasheet for the CR2032 I found:
It looks like slightly more than 2.9V would be the expected voltage for up to 600 hours.
3.2V looks like it is fully charged, and ...

Can I program a 20MHz Attiny85 with the 8MHz Internal Clock option in the Arduino Software?
I think you have the wrong end of the stick here. The Attiny85 is not a chip that comes in different speed versions. The datasheet mentions that it can run at 20 MHz. That doesn't mean you can buy a "...

How long does it takes for arduino to reach main()?
The ATtiny85 has a built-in delay counter that keeps the MCU in reset
mode for some time after the power is applied. This seems to be intended
as a wait for the clock and power to be stabilized. The ...

Attiny timer interrupt does not make an interrupt every 1000ms
I see three issues with this approach.
The first is that you are using a very low quality, uncalibrated time
source. The frequency of the internal RC oscillator is good to within a
few percent only. ...

Flashing an ATtiny85 with a NodeMCU?

Powering a Tiny Arduino Project
The old circuit will not work as you expect. While the ATtiny85 can run happily with 2.7 to 5.5V in this setup it expects 5V. I assume this is due to the high CPU clock setting. To run stable at a ...
