https://www.electronics-lab.com/programming-attiny10-using-arduino-ide/
David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com has a nice guide on how to program ATtiny10 6-pin mcu using the arduino IDE. Programming is done using the widely available USBasp programmer from Thomas Fischl. Examples are also included on the guide. Unlike the SPI protocol used to program the larger AVR chips, such as the ATmega328 in the […]
The top 10 humidity sensors
https://www.electronics-lab.com/top-10-humidity-sensors/
Elizabeth Bustamante @ snapeda.com compiled a list the top 10 humidity sensors available today. Most of the sensors on the lists are from Honeywell, but surprisingly the top sensor comes from Sensirion. She writes: Air humidity is an important factor to consider when designing an electronic device. Having too much humidity in the environment can […]
