A Tiny Compass With ATtiny85

“This is our first project with ATtiny85; a simple pocket digital compass (in collaboration with J. Arturo Espejel Báez). ATtiny85 is a high performance and low power microcontroller. It has 8 Kbytes of programmable flash memory. Due to this, the …

Boat Ventilator Control

“Controlling a fan in my boat on the cheap; with an ATTiny85 (DigiSpark) and a DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor A Small controller based on a Digispark ATTiny controller I had on my shelf and a spare DHT11 combined temperature …

Multiple ATtiny85/13A Programmer

“Program 6 ATtiny85/13A at the same time with this custom programmer board. Attiny MCUs are very popular as it is quite easy to program them and using them instead of atmega328 chip can reduce the cost of the overall …

A full-duplex tiny AVR software UART

“I’ve written a few software UARTs for AVR MCUs. All of them have bit-banged the output, using cycle-counted assembler busy loops to time the output of each bit. The code requires interrupts to be disabled to ensure accurate timing …
