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 ...

[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 ...

Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as any other servo tester, the difference is that it can be programmed to do ...

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 ...

Planning another Arduino build? If you’re just doing something simple like switching a relay or powering a LED, you might want to think about the Digispark. It’s a very small ATtiny-based Arduino ...

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 ...

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 ...

Maker and developers looking for a tiny Arduino development board might be interested in The Nanite 85, which could possibly be the world’s smallest ATtiny85 based Arduino derivative development board ...

I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...
