Program ATtiny 0-Series Chips with This Miniature UPDI Dongle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/program-attiny-0-series-chips-miniature-updi-dongle/
This is a USB-stick sized UPDI programmer, for programming Microchip’s new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny chips from the Arduino IDE. It’s based on an ATmega328P, and is essentially an Arduino Uno on a USB stick, so you also could use it as a mini-sized Arduino Uno. by David Johnson-Davies: Starting in 2016 with the ATtiny87 […]
ATtiny402 Timer with low power sleep mode
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny402-timer-low-power-sleep-mode/
David Johnson-Davies published another great mini project. It’s a Timer based on ATtiny402 and was build to demonstrate the low power sleep mode of the microcontroller. This article describes how to use the new 0-series and 1-series ATtiny microcontrollers in low-power projects, taking advantage of sleep mode to maximise the battery life and avoid the […]
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 […]
Getting started with the new ATtiny chips
https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-new-attiny-chips/
David Johnson-Davies introduces us to the new ATtiny series microcontrollers and shows us how to program then with Arduino IDE. He writes: In 2016 Microchip/Atmel announced a completely new range of chips designed to replace their older ATmega and ATtiny ranges. The new ATtiny chips started with the 1-series ATtiny417 and ATtiny817, followed in 2018 […]
Attiny Programmer (using Arduino UNO)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny-programmer-using-arduino-uno/
by CrtSuznik @ instructables.com: The Arduino UNO is small, but if you require your project to be in a small enclosure, the UNO might be way too big. You could try using a NANO or MINI, but if you really want to go small, you go tiny, Attiny to be precise. They are quite small, […]
ATtiny Dev Board / Tinyduino
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny-dev-board-tinyduino/
This is an ATtiny Dev Board. Designed for the ATtiny line of microcontollers from atmel. Its made to be small, simple to build and easy to use. ATtiny Dev Board / Tinyduino – [Link]
Atmel ATtiny417/814/816/817 Include Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs)
https://www.electronics-lab.com/atmel-attiny-include-cips/
Atmel tinyAVR microcontrollers are optimized for applications that require performance, power efficiency and ease of use in a small package. All tinyAVR devices are based on the same architecture with other AVR devices. The integrated ADC, DAC, EEPROM memory and brown-out detector let you build applications without adding external components. The tinyAVR also offers Flash Memory for […]
Build Your Own I2C Sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/build-i2c-sensor/
Since Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital converter) to read the voltage off from most of sensors, the best solution is to add I2C ADC chips and modules to your project. Paweł Spychalski faced this problem while building his own weather station that is based on Raspberry Pi. It collects various […]
Recover Bricked ATtiny Using Arduino as high voltage programmer
https://www.electronics-lab.com/recover-bricked-attiny-using-arduino-as-high-voltage-programmer/
Hi! Today I’ll explain you how to recover your bricked ATtiny microcontroller using your Arduino board. ATtinys are very popular due to their small form factor yet very powerful. While working with them you may accidentally brick the ATtiny. As arduino is extremely popular and really easy to use, I guess you have one or […]
ATtiny based bidirectional motor control using L293D
https://www.electronics-lab.com/attiny-based-bidirectional-motor-control-using-l293d/
Rahul @ Xanthium has posted a tutorial on interfacing ATtiny with L293D: In this tutorial we will learn to interface L293D with ATMEL ATtiny microcontroller and control them bidirectionally.The microcontroller used here is ATtiny2313A which is interfaced to two L293D motor control chips for controlling upto 4 DC brushed motors.You can control upto 8 motors if […]
