All CPU and MCU documentation in one place
larsbrinkhoff @ github.com has compiled a list of all CPU and MCU documentation. The list contains data sheets, programmer's manuals, quick reference cards etc. This repository contains the documentations for various CPUs. It may contain data sheets, programmer's manuals, quick...
Continue ReadingGetting Started with Micro Python
Jacob Beningo has published a tutorial on how to start with Micro Python to build real-time embedded applications. The first step a developer interested in Micro Python must take before diving into a real-time embedded application is to select a supported development kit or...

webboggles.com has designed a SSD1306 OLED Screen based game kit using an ATtiny85 microcontroller. They also sell it as a kit to assemble it yourself. The new snap case has been updated to allow enough height for the screen header as well as a factory made CR2032 battery...
Continue ReadingATTiny85 board A First Look and review
educ8s.tv wanted to take a look at this tiny board for a long time. It is very small size, it is low cost and it uses a different processor than the Arduino boards. It uses the ATTiny 85 microcontroller chip, which can operate at a frequency up to 20Mhz. It has 8Kb of flash memory,...
