“Learn how to turn a cheap plastic harp into a fancy iHarp! Simply add a led strip driven by a microcontroller to make the harp an eyecatcher.”

Large fonts on a tiny OLED & ATiny85

“It is very challenging to compress code in small memory micro-controller unit (MCU) such as Digispark ATtiny85, which is offering only 6kB. Suppose you want to attach it to a tiny OLED (128x32 pixels) and make it write easily readable …

oled earrings

“This year I had a special gift for my girl. Earrings that feature an oled screen with animations of her favorite arcade game, Tetris. The original idea was to have tetris blocks fall from the top of the screen to …
