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 ...

As from 19th January 2015, the various sketches below "time out" if they don't enter programming mode after 50 attempts. The code displays a dot for every attempt, so if it fails you will see ...

Nobody doubts the utility of the Arduino Nano and its many clones, and chances are good you’ve got at least one or two of the tiny dev boards within arm’s reach right now. But as small as it is, the ...

For years, there has been a clear distinction between the Arduino and Raspberry Pi boards. There are some things the Arduino can do that the Raspberry Pi can't, and vice versa. When you think of ...

This project explains the interfacing of PCF8591 converter (slave) with ATmega328 microcontroller (master) using I2C bus to get direct multiple analogue inputs and outputs. ATmega328 microcontroller ...

This triac control module is a project for everyone interested in power electronics. It also gives you an opportunity to learn a bit about hardware-level programming. We describe all the wonderful ...
