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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A few days ago we saw what would have been a killer Kickstarter a few years ago. It was the smallest conceivable ATtiny85 microcontroller board, with resistors, diodes, a USB connector, and eight pins ...

Making a servo tester using an Attiny85 micro chip, Attiny45 also works for this project. This diy servo tester is as good as ...

Infrared remote controllers are everywhere around us. The majority of home appliances are controlled using infrared remote controls. In this article/video, we will learn how to build a device that can ...

Let me introduce another simple microcontroller-based do-it-yourself circuit that detects motion and excites a light source in a flash. The “snooper” here is an ordinary passive infrared (PIR) motion ...

I became aware of the Arduino Project from occasional media reports and a presentation at Atlanta LinuxFest 2009. I was impressed with what the Arduino community was doing, but at that time, I saw no ...
