If you’ve ever had your internet connection drop out while running Chrome, you’ve probably seen a little dinosaur pop up to tell you what’s going on. You might have then tapped a ...

Most of the AVR ATtiny microcontrollers can be programmed with this small board which can also be used in a standalone application which building a project. Most of the AVR ATtiny microcontrollers can ...

[Ralph Doncaster], aka Nerdralph, seems to be absolutely driven to see how few resources he can use on a microcontroller to get the job done. In this post on his blog, [Ralph] writes some custom ...

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 ...

Providing a quick start for projects with 8 and 20 pin AVR microcontrollers is the main purpose of building these tiny controller boards. Providing a quick start for projects with 8 and 20 pin AVR ...

Celebrating little victories means a nice cup of tea as I managed to transfer an Arduino programme into an AVR ATtiny85 microcontroller. Like the people in and surrounding Raspberry Pi, clever souls ...

If you're looking for a fun electronics project to give a small fright to trick-or-treaters you can create a spooky blinking eyes setup where several sets of colored eyes blink randomly by ...

An in-depth look at the 8-bit AVR architecture found in ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers, mainly from a software and programming point of view. Explore the AVR architecture using C and assembly ...

A new project soon to be available via the Crowd Supply website has been unveiled this week in the form of the ATtiny Flasher, an open hardware flashing tool specifically designed for the Atmel ATtiny ...
