Sometimes you don't need a large microcontroller to get your work done. In this installment, TK teaches us how to use the ATtiny combined with Arduino to use the PWM function found on this chip.

He contemplated using an ATtiny for smaller projects, but after looking into what he would need to program the chip under Linux, he could never find the motivation to give it a go.

Anyone who would like to learn Arduino programming and more about the fantastic electronic development platform which is fun and easy-to-use to create ...

Following on from getting an Arduino programme to run on an 8pin ATtiny (ATtiny85), I need to invoke the in-built brown-out reset circuit – because my application involves running from an ...

Write the programme – called ‘sketch’ in Arduino speak (you do have to add ATtiny85 capability to the standard Arduino software – easy, see SparkFun link below). Re-programme the Uno as a programmer, ...

The ATtiny10 – along with its younger siblings that go by the names ATtiny 4, 5, and 9 – are the smallest microcontrollers Atmel makes. With only 32 bytes of RAM and 1 kB of Flash, ther… ...
