The best thing about at the ATtiny85 IC is undoubtedly its size, but this also makes it difficult to program. To make our job even easier, we've put together an ATtiny Programmer Shield, using a ZIF ...

[Scott] is a big fan of the Arduino platform, and he’s not afraid to admit it. It does all the things he needs, but now and again he would like to use something a bit smaller, without all the bells ...

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 ...

To program the ATtiny, simply flip the switch to the “Programming” position.A red LED lights up to indicate that the device is in programming mode.Once programming is complete, return the switch to ...

Following on from getting an Arduino programme to run on an 8pin ATtiny (ATtiny85), I need to invoke the in-built brown-out reset circuit – because my application involves running from an ...

Being able to track down a bug in a mountain of source code is a skill in its own right, and it’s a hard skill to learn from a book or online tutorial. Besides the trial-by-fire of learning while ...

Raspberry Pi enthusiasts may be interested in a new project called LEMPA or the LEan Mean Programming mAchine, created by developer Roey Benamotz. This innovative project features a custom PCB that ...
