Adding ICSP header to your Arduino/AVR board using ISP10PIN microcontroller

So you may have been playing with Arduino’s, or rather, Hackduino’s. If you made your own Hackduino or similar project, you may be wondering how to add the ICSP header. Basically, using the ICSP header will allow you to use an external programmer to ‘upload’ software to your MCU (microcontroller unit). This will work for

Faraday For Fun: An Electronic Batteryless Dice using Microcontroller ATTiny13

There has been a lot of interest in muscle powered electronic devices, due in large part to the success of Perpetual Torch Perpetual Torch, also known as battery-less LED torch. The battery-less torch consists of a voltage generator to power the LEDs, an electronic circuit to condition and store the voltage produced by the voltage

LED Microcontrolled Stained Glass Firefly Pendant using Microcontroller ATTiny45 chip

This Instructable will walk you through the steps needed to make a stained glass pendant with anLED that blinks in a pattern using a microcontroller. The blink pattern is an actual firefly song of a type of Japanese firefly. It is a scaled down version of the Jar of Fireflies code that my partner wrote.
