Tiniest USB development board with Micronucleus
Development board for the ATtiny84a with USB connector. Pre-loaded with the Micronucleus bootloader compatible with Arduino. DIP version with USB connector of the ATtiny84a. The board can be placed in the middle of the breadboard. Sketches can be uploaded from Arduino using the...

This project describes how to build an ATSAMD21-based computer on a prototyping board using the minimum number of components, and program it from the Arduino IDE. David Johnson-Davies writes: I give two alternative methods of uploading a bootloader to the bare ATSAMD21 chip using the...
Continue ReadingProgramming Atmega328p Microcontroller with Arduino IDE
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...
Continue ReadingInstalling the Arduino Bootloader on the Atmega328p Microcontroller
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...
