In this example we will connect an LDR to an Attiny85, once the value read drops below a certain value we will switch an LED on. For this example we…

As an experiment I wanted to use the Arduino IDE to write code for an Attiny85, I didn’t have an ISP shield at that point and couldn’t be bothered making…

This was a little no frills breakout board I designed for Attiny 8 pin chips, minimal components but I had a few requirements that I wanted to meet. 1. ISP…

Similar to our previous example, in this case we connect 3 LEDs up to Pin 5, 6 and 7 which are PB0,1 and 2 Here is the schematic for this…

The hello world of examples this time for an ATTINY85, although this should work with similar chips as well. We will connect the LED to pin 2 (PB3) and simply…

In this example we will connect an RGB led to our Pic 18F4520 Port D. We will then light the red, green and blue individually. We will connect this up as…

This is a simple ‘Hello world’ type example. This was to test out a PIc18F4520 development board that I purchased, the board comes with 8 LED’s connected to PORT B.…

This is a shield that I decided to buy, it was a nice beginner related board with some basic functions. Here is a picture of the board, a few code…

Another MAX7219 example using random numbers to randomly light an LED in the matrix, you may want to increase the delay Code #include “LedControl.h” //  need the library LedControl lc=LedControl(12,11,10,1);…

The first thing you will need that makes things easier is to  download and install the LedControl Arduino library as it is essential for using the MAX7219.   Code #include…
