Thanks to their tiny size and improved capabilities, the ATtiny-0-Series of microcontrollers have been a delight for designers and DIYers looking for a microcontroller with the ease of use associated with the Arduino boards, but with a way smaller form factor associated with ATtiny...

The Arduino Uno is unarguably one of the greatest development boards ever made and its impact as one of the boards that rekindled the fire of the electronics maker movement cannot be disputed. It came with enough power for users to build amazing projects, but it also was extremely easy to...

Last time we examined how to build  a DIY Reflow Oven controller using the Tiny Reflow Oven Controller v1 by Rocket Stream. However, Rocket Stream recently released the Tiny Reflow Controller V2 and for today’s tutorial, we will attempt to build this second version. The Tiny Reflow...

Expand your board's storage with an I2C-enabled EEPROM chip. EEPROM stands for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It allows for values to be written and stored for long periods of time while using very little power. Most microcontrollers even have EEPROM directly in...

Rocketscream.com released their all-in-one Arduino compatible reflow controller powered by ATmega328P with OLED screen and built-in USB port. This reflow controller replaces the beloved "Tiny Reflow Controller V1" which had a character LCD display. Let's see what's new on this...

Antennino (the name Antennino is the combination of Antenna and Arduino) is a low-cost and low-power board based on the Atmel chip, then 100% compatible with the traditional Arduino IDE. The board integrates sensors and bus communication to get external information, as well as a...

Over the past few tutorials, we have mentioned several scenarios where using any of the Arduino board in a project may be an overkill due to the cost, size, and more technical reasons such as high power consumption. In the last tutorial, we discussed an alternative way of using...

Cost and size, just to mention a few, makes using an Arduino board in certain projects an overkill, often times its always too big, or too expensive for the scope of the project especially when it’s a project that we need to make several units. One good way to retain the simplicity...
