As most guys I don’t tell my wife that “I love you” as often as I should, but this little gadget will at least improve that situation as bit. So by combining a nice box and some hardcore electronics nerdiness I’ve made a nice christmas gift for my wife. The LoveBox is a small box […]

Somewhat similar to PIC 12f675 mini protoboard, but extended and with additional boards. Using attiny2313. Step 1 Scheme Let us first start with a scheme. The scheme is pretty obvious since it only connects attiny2313 with the pins and the only additional elements are resistors and capacitor for reseting the microcontroller. Step 2 Bottom view

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

Have you ever asked yourself how do hundreds and thousands of fireflies are able to synchronize themselves? How does it work, that they are able to blink all together without having a kind of boss firefly? This instructable gives a solution and shows how this synchronization can be achieved. I have always been fascinated
