Enginursday: I2Considerations

“When it comes to microcontrollers, it’s easy to run out of IO pins before you run out of programming space. Back in 1982, NXP Semiconductor (formerly known as Philips Semiconductor) came up with a solution called Inter-Integrated Circuit, or …

ATtiny85 Light Sensor – I2C slave device

“I love AVR ATtinyx5 series microcontrollers. They are cheap, easy to use, they can be programmed just like Arduinos and comparing to their size they offer great features. For example, they can be used as remote analog to digital converters …

Make a CHIP Robot

“In this tutorial we ‘ll show you the easiest way to make a CHIP robot. Starting with C.H.I.P. is very simple, and making a CHIP robot can be done easily with the GoPiGo Robot kit. In this …

Build your own I2C sensor

“Since Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a built-in ADC (Analog to Digital converter) to read the voltage off from most of sensors, the best solution is to add I2C ADC chips and modules to your project. Pawel Spychalski faced this …

Dual boot for arduino

” I would like to introduce a new dualboot feature which can be an add-on to any existing arduino boards. The additional requirement is an external i2c eeprom with minimum size of the internal flash memory.”

Dual USB Serial and I2C Converter

“Hi all! After a couple of months with a lot of work, I come here again with the last board I develop before Christmas. Its a dual USB serial and I2C converter based on two MCP2221 Microchip 2.0 USB …

Experimenting with MAX6955

“MAX6955 is an interesting LED driver chip. It is the primordial charlieplexing device, being the materialization of a technique invented by Charlie Allen of Maxim Integrated. Without understanding how charelieplexing works, it is actually counter-intuitive to wire multiple (up to …
