Arduino and others have produced quite a number of Arduino-compatible boards with small form factors, but most of them are not compatible with standard shields and other platform niceties. Instead, they end up being just breakout boards for the microcontroller. On the other hand of...

Last time we examined how to program the STM8s microcontroller using the Arduino IDE. This way may work for developers who are familiar with the IDE and want to build quickly, and professional projects, but there are more ways to get the same result. Thus for today’s tutorial, we are...

Thanks to the increased popularity of the recent ATtiny series of microcontrollers, there has been an increase in the number of open-source UPDI programmers out there. We have covered quite a number of them including the brilliant UPDI programmer compatible with Arduino IDE but we...

Nordic Semiconductor has announced the nRF52805, which is a microcontroller from the NRF52 series of microcontrollers. Measuring at just 2.48 x 2.46mm, the nRF52805 is the smallest of all the nRF52 series. Despite its small size, the nRF52805 System-on-Chip (SoC) top up the...

At the very heart of any embedded electronics system is a microcontroller. While the ATtiny series of microcontrollers have been around for a while now, they recently started getting noticed on a very high scale as DIYers and professional designers now use them in various projects which...

Microchip's TensorFlow Lite kit features the Microchip ATSAMD51 microcontroller The ATSAMD51J19 high-performance microcontroller family from Microchip Technology was formerly targeted for general purpose applications until now. The ATSAMD51J19 can now be used for edge computing...

  644 Narrow and 1284 Narrow are small, simple, ATmega644/1824-based boards, which are designed to improve small footprint Arduino projects. The Narrow board enables two to eight times more flash and RAM resources and ten more digital I/O as compared to an Uno/Nano, plus total...

Stefan Wagner's EasyEDA profile is definitely the go-to source for all things ATtiny. He's built 10s of projects, some of which we have covered here, that are based on the tiny microcontrollers, and it only makes sense that one of his latest projects, called the TinyHVSP, is a tool to...
