Arduino-compatible ATtinys with more pins Having had such quick success making a microcontroller project using an 8pin ATtiny85 and programming it with Arduino, I though I would try a more elaborate ...

Literally, ATtiny85 is a scaled-down version of the Atmega microcontroller on Arduino boards with just a few I/Os (five usable pins) that can listen to or talk to most sensors and transducers.

While a Raspberry Pi is a full-fledged computer that can do more complex things than an Arduino microcontroller, it's not the best choice for every project.

PWM pins are generally used in controlling output devices in Arduino projects. To send a PWM value to a PWM-capable pin like the Mega's D9, the easiest and most common way is by using the ...

This articles describes how you can use I2C (TWI) communication, Arduino and temperature sensors to measure 3 different temperatures. It can be very helpful when you want to measure the outside, ...

[Mark] from SpikenzieLabs was wrapping up a project using an Arduino the other day and found himself in need of a few more I/O pins. He could have added extra circuitry to the project, but he decid… ...

Using motion detectors and an Ardunio you can add a little extra wow to your Halloween displays this year. This article covers the circuits and the code to make that happen.

Running out of GPIO pins? Learn how to connect multiple buttons to just one Arduino pin using clever wiring and resistor techniques. Perfect for compact projects, keyboards, or when using small ...
