The Nintendo Wii Nunchuk was released in December 2006. It features an analog stick, two buttons, and a 3-axis accelerometer. Due to its low price (around $5 for a used or counterfeit Nunchuk) and I2C bus support, it became an easily accessible option for those looking to add an input device to their project without much hassle. Without further […]

While most opt for a 16MHz oscillator in a DIY Arduino setup, it’s intriguing to discover that the ATmega328 can function without it. An Arduino typically comprises various elements such as a linear regulator, USB to Serial microcontroller, debug LED, power LED, reset button, RX & TX LED, crystal oscillator, among others. However, a minimal

The ATMega32 is an widely used microcontroller from Atmel. It shares many similarities with the ATMega328P but has a more reduced memory capacity. However, the ATMega32 makes up for this with a greater number of input/output pins available. A key advantage of the ATMega32 is that each GPIO pin can exclusively support either digital input/output

Story A digital clock is a type of clock that displays the time using numerals or digits, rather than using a dial and hands. These clocks typically use an electronic display, such as an LED or LCD screen, to show the time. Digital clocks are commonly found in devices such as radios, phones, computers,

A GitHub user called Wagiminator has posted details about ATtiny84-TinyCalibrator, which is an OSC Calibrator and High Voltage Fuse Resetter for 8-Pin ATtinys. The ATtiny84 was chosen as the microcontroller for the TinyCalibrator because it has exactly the necessary number of GPIO pins. 8-pin ATtinys usually feature few GPIO pins available, so they are usually operated without an external clock.
