The creative adventures with ATtiny series microcontroller are awesome if you know how to play them. ATtinys — especially the ATtiny85s — are all around us, and by using one, we can shrink the size of ...

Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...

Among all the Arduino boards, the Uno is most folks' go-to choice, and for good reason. It's the perfect platform to get started with Arduino, it's capable enough to handle a wide range of tasks, and ...

Here’s an Arduino library that will let you drive a very large number of LEDs. [Elco Jacobs], an electrical engineering student, is the author of the library. He has a work-study job that has him ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Sometimes a design needs more DACs than the mixed-signal microcontroller has available. An easy solution is to put in a ...

This article describes a simple technique for using a processors PWM output to produce an analog control voltage that matches the load’s input range, thus maximizing control resolution. Most ...
