The creative adventures with ATtiny series microcontroller are awesome if you know how to play them. ATtinys — especially the ATtiny85s — are all around us, and by using one, we can shrink the size of ...

Most projects are built on abstractions. After all, few of us can create our own wire, our own transistors, or our own integrated circuits. A few months ago, [Julian Ilett] found a problem using the ...

Back in October I was pondering the creation of accurate micro-voltages from a microcontroller. What makes this so difficult is the voltage offset created by current in the microcontroller bond wire, ...

This Design Idea describes a circuit employing a small microcontroller-based sensor module with only three connections: 5V dc, an RS-232 transmit-data output, and ground. A dedicated single-voltage ...

Among all the Arduino boards, the Uno is most folks' go-to choice, and for good reason. It's the perfect platform to get started with Arduino, it's capable enough to handle a wide range of tasks, and ...
