As I did not realise that Arduino is a quick route to getting a stand-alone 8pin microcontroller – an Atmel ATtiny85 – to do something useful. You don’t get all of the functions and performance of an ...

The nano sensor interface presented below is a microcontroller-based universal sensor interface with a power-saver mechanism. The idea, centered around an Arduino Nano (v3) microcontroller, was ...

Anyone who would like to learn Arduino programming and more about the fantastic electronic development platform which is fun and easy-to-use to create a wide variety of different projects. Maybe worth ...

The ATtiny10 – along with its younger siblings that go by the names ATtiny 4, 5, and 9 – are the smallest microcontrollers Atmel makes. With only 32 bytes of RAM and 1 kB of Flash, there’s still whole ...

Making an Arduino shield can be simpler than you think. This time I designed one to program Attiny and Atmega microcontrollers, that way I don't have to use a breadboard and make the wiring to program ...
