Linus Torvalds has just released Linux 7.0 on LKML: The last week of the release continued the same “lots of small fixes” trend, but it all really does seem pretty benign, so I’ve tagged the final 7.0 ...

Making an Arduino shield can be simpler than you think. This time I designed one to program Attiny and Atmega microcontrollers, that way I don't have to use a breadboard and make the wiring to program ...

Decorative lighting has become quite popular, with options such as LED surface panels, strip lights, COB lights, spotlights, and profile lights that are widely used in residential and other interior ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

The Africa Program achieves its mission through in-depth research that offers practical solutions to key challenges in US-Africa relations. The Africa Program's flagship initiatives include the ...

The 8-bit resolution of a peripheral DAC (such as the ATtiny family, for instance) is often insufficient. Let’s see how the problem can be solved using on-chip resources. The circuit in Figure 1 shows ...

Step 1: Configuring Arduino Uno as an ISP: Since ATtiny85 is just a microcontroller, it requires an ISP (In-System Programming) to be programmed. So to program the ATtiny85, we need to first configure ...

The book, Explore ATtiny Microcontrollers using C and Assembly Language, provides an in-depth look at the 8-bit AVR architecture found in ATtiny and ATmega MCUs. It's a great tool for diving into the ...
