Hi, I tried to run the program in the ATtiny85. It's WORK. But I want to add a sensor through the analogRead, Unfortunately it isn't WORK. Whether the sofeware PWM and analogread not be used simultaneously?
Can you help me to give some advice? Thanks.

Isn't analogRead() a function part of Arduino?

Thanks!!!
the code works smooth even on ATtiny13 with little changes
TIFR to TIFR0
and TIMSK to TIMSK0

Hey! nice code, but i have a question: f_cpu is not defined for delay, haven't read all the code, but, is it clock-freq dependant? (sry about my english, I'm from Argentina!)

Hi, the code works, but how can I show only the basic colors (red, blue, green) alone?
