Arduino some indexes could not be updated. Server responded with: 404 Not Found

If you are trying to set up your ATtiny board and using the Digistump Board Manager, you might encounter this error. It seems Digistump has dropped support for this ( even their site appears not to be working anymore )

To fix the above, we will use another board manager that is also open source and based on the Digistump

Open preferences/settings

Paste below in the Additional boards manager URLs

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ArminJo/DigistumpArduino/master/package_digistump_index.json

Now open the board manager from tools -> boards -> board manager

Search for DigiStump Boards and install it

Now you can program your Attiny85

PS: If you are on Windows and have not set up the drivers for Attiny yet, please download the drivers from here

Unzip it and run the install drivers script
