I've been interested in getting into microcontroller programming lately, and I've been looking at Microchips PIC16F and PIC18F series (especially the PIC16F), and also Atmel's ATtiny and ATmega series ...

Celebrating little victories means a nice cup of tea as I managed to transfer an Arduino programme into an AVR ATtiny85 microcontroller. Like the people in and surrounding Raspberry Pi, clever souls ...

There are a few different ways of getting firmware onto one of AVR’s ATtiny85 microcontrollers, including bootloaders that allow for firmware to be updated without the need to plug the chip into a ...

The ATtiny1617 series of microcontrollers featuring the 8-bit AVR processor with hardware multiplier – running at up to 20MHz and with up to 16 KB Flash, 2 KB SRAM and 128 bytes of EEPROM in 14-, 20- ...

[Jenna] sent in a very cool bootloader she thought people might like. It’s called Micronucleus and it turns the lowly ATtiny 85 into a chip with a USB interface capable of being upgraded via a ‘viral’ ...

The project uses an Atmel ATtiny85 AVR microcontroller and a coil to build an RFID tag. The project uses an Atmel ATtiny85 AVR microcontroller and a coil to build an RFID tag. The AVR is being powered ...
