David Johnson-Davies @ technoblogy.com writes: This article describes how to get up to two 10 or 12-bit digital-to-analogue outputs from an 8-bit Timer/Counter, such as in the ATtiny85. To test the routine I built a circuit which allows you to vary the brightness of two LEDs with two...

Tinusaur is an Atmel ATtiny85 microcontroller board that comes in parts, as a kit, so you can solder it yourself and then program it. This small microcontroller board can run Arduino and its goal is to have a simple, cheap and quick-start platform for everyone interested in learning and...

David Johnson-Davies designed a minimalist ATtiny85-based watch using 12 LEDs, arranged like a clock face, to show the time in analogue-style. He writes: To show the time you press the button on the watch face, and the time is then displayed for four seconds. It lights one LED to...

Alan X has been working on a spectrum analyser project that can show the spectrum visually! He started working with ATTiny85 and kept on updating the project over time. Alan X used Goertzel's algorithm with a Hamming window, this algorithm can be used to detect a frequency from...

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...

Paweł Spychalski build a photoresistor based daylight meter sensor connected via I2C bus using ATtiny85: I love AVR ATtinyx5 series microcontrollers. They are cheap, easy to use, they can be programmed just like Arduinos and comparing to their size they offer great features. For...

joshua.brooks @ instructables.com describes how he build a night light using an Adafruit NeoPixel, ATtiny85 microcontroller, TSSP4038 IR receiver and some other easy available components. I'm giving some workshops in electronics in a few weeks, centered around an inexpensive, but...

This is a wireless digital scale using ATTiny85 microcontroller and HM-10 Bluetooth low energy transmitter/receiver: This scale is wireless. It may be useful where you can't operate a normal scale, due to the weather outside, or if you don't want to scare birds or other creatures...
