But how do you program it as it doesn’t have a USB interface like other microcontroller boards? So in this article, I will walk you through the process of programming the ATtiny85 from the Arduino IDE ...

Compiling SPL Libraries on Arduino IDE. As mentioned earlier, we can also use the SPL library on Arduino IDE. If you remember, in our previous STM8S GPIO tutorial, we wrote a code to blink the ...

Arduino boards have a small amount of general purpose I/O and can be used for many different purposes. For instance, Arduino boards can act as a programmer tool for other AVR microcontrollers using an ...

When we talk about programming any microcontroller using the Arduino IDE we usually think of a board connected to the microcontroller enabling serial programming. However, the size of the board and ...

We will cover the basics of microcontroller programming, focusing on the Arduino platform. Arduino code can also be run on other microcontrollers, such as Teensy. We will cover the 10 projects found ...

The best way to maximize the functionality of an Arduino is to use peripheral devices such as pin extenders, shift registers, and multiplexers to increase the number of available pins, and to optimize ...

While newer Arduinos and Arduino compatibles (including the Hackaday.io Trinket Pro. Superliminal Advertising!) either have a chip capable of USB or rely on a V-USB implementation, the old fogies o… ...

Using interrupts in microcontroller programming can present some challenges that need to be addressed. For instance, if interrupts occur simultaneously or too frequently, the microcontroller may ...

…Brillant! This reduces the cost of an Arduino clone to under $10! $~4 for micro, plus a $1.50 audio jack, and approx $1 in resistors, caps, and other items.
