The Cheapest and Simplest Pulse Counter

“This counter is made only from an ATtiny13 and LED diodes. Did you ever need a cheap and simple (with one digit only) pulse counter? This is the maximum optimization and simplification. Thanks to Charlie Allen.”

LED multiplexing layouts for hand-crafting

“Have you ever wanted to build a LED matrix display using hand-crafting methods, such as sewing, weaving, or papercraft? Designing and fabricating complex LED projects by hand, while making use of limited input-output (i/o) pins on microcontrollers/Arduino, is …

Twelve PWM outputs from an ATtiny85

“This project describes how to get 12 analogue PWM outputs from an ATtiny85, so you can drive 12 LEDs with individual control over each LED’s brightness Each LED can be set to a brightness between 0 (off) and 63 …

ATtiny LED Matrix Display Badge

“An ATtiny85-based badge-size PCB that can display letters and numbers. Have you ever thought of making a badge-sized PCB that can display some letters, numbers, etc… or your name? In this project, I will be showing how I built a …

Charlieplexing Made Easy (and What It Even Means?!)

“Charlieplexing. Aside from being a fancy word it is a technique for driving multiple LEDs with relatively few pins on a microcontroller. It allows you to drive N*(N-1) LEDs with just N pins without requiring any additional hardware, making …

How to Make a Binary Clock With 20 LEDs and an Arduino

“Hey guys, Welcome to Being Engineers. It has been long time since we posted any tutorial on this channel. Please excuse us for that. But we uploaded some videos in our youtube channel in this time. So you can check …

Project  Secret Maze

Secret Maze

“This simple game for the ATtiny85 is a maze that you navigate with four pushbuttons. The available paths in each direction are shown by four LEDs. A lit LED means that your way is blocked by a wall, and a …

Making a Wooden LED Clock

“In this instructable I build a simple wood LED clock, using modern electronics components and traditional wood and metal working techniques. I use a 16x9 LED matrix from Adafruit as a digital clock face, power it with an Arduino nano …

LED Cube Pendant - Worlds Smallest LED Cube

“It all started when I stumbled across Harifun’stiny LED cube almost 10 month ago. He has done a great work on miniaturizing Ashler Glick’s innovative charliecube, which uses charlieplexing to control a 4x4x4 RGB LED cube with nothing …

Tiny Time Watch

“To show the time you press the button on the watch face, and the time is then displayed for four seconds. It lights one LED to show the hour, and flashes another LED to show the minutes to the nearest …
