10. Appendix B: FAQ of CuteDuino
1. Who design and manufacture CuteDuino?
Cytron Technologies design and manufacture CuteDuino (design inspired by DigiSpark).
2. Is CuteDuino compatible with Arduino?
Yes, CuteDuino is compatible with Arduino as you can utilize Arduino library and
Arduino IDE to write sketches and load into it. But it is not official Arduino main such as
Arduino UNO or Leonardo.
3. What is the difference between ​ CuteDuino ​ vs ​ DigiSpark ​ ?
● CuteDuino ​ is inspired by ​ DigiSpark ​ .
● CuteDuino utilize USB microB (Android phone cable) vs DigiSpark USB A type
connector.
● CuteDuino arranges the pin in two roles at side to make it breadboard friendly.
●
CuteDuino has on-board Reset button, allowing board reset for program loading;
while DigiSpark does not have reset button, so every program loading require unplug
and plug into USB port.
● With CuteDuino’s Reset button, it has one I/O pin lesser vs DigiSpark. CuteDuino has
only 5 I/O pins, from pin 0 to 4, there is no pin 5.
● Do check the CuteDuino diagram in ​ Appendix A ​ .
4. CuteDuino vs Arduino UNO?
CuteDuino is using ATtiny85 vs Atmega328 on Arduino UNO. There are many difference
in this.
● CuteDuino has only 8K memory (~6K after bootloader) vs 32K (~31.5K after
bootloader) on Arduino UNO.
●
CuteDuino has less IO and peripherals vs Arduino UNO.
● Most of commonly used library works on CuteDuino, but not all.
● There is no hardware UART (Serial) nor hardware USB to UART converter on
CuteDuino, so you cannot utilize Serial Monitor on Arduino IDE. But CuteDuino can
always utilize software serial for UART communication and there is

​
library
to offer serial monitor alike example.
5. Which version of Arduino IDE can program CuteDuino?
Yes!! Originally, DigiSpark uses modified version of ​ Arduino IDE v1.5.8 ​ . But since
Arduino IDE v1.6.4 allow easy insert of 3rd party board via URLs, we have prepare the
