Minimal I2C for the New AVR Microcontrollers
https://www.electronics-lab.com/minimal-i2c-new-avr-microcontrollers/
This article describes a set of minimal I2C routines for the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny and ATmega microcontrollers. They allow any of these processors to act as an I2C Master and connect to I2C peripherals. As an example of their use I’ve designed a digital clock circuit based on a 0-series ATtiny402 connected to […]

OLED display audio VU meter – AVR/Arduino project
https://www.electronics-lab.com/oled-display-vu-meter-avr-arduino-project/
A volume unit (VU) meter or standard volume indicator (SVI) as it’s sometimes called, is a device which displays the audio signal level of an audio signal. It is essentially a basic voltmeter (fitted with transducers to convert sound to voltage) that takes a simple average of the signal and displays it with an attack and release time of around […]
