UPDATE: Please check the most recent post about this library at /tag/ssd1306xled I recently bought an OLED display 128×64 from eBay (http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=OLED+128) – very inexpensive (about 4 euro) but when I finally received it I was surprised to see how small it was – I was expecting something that looked more like the Nokia 3310 LCD. So I thought – this … Read more
We are glad to share with you that we’ve been accepted to present the Tinusaur project at the Maker Faire New York on Sept. 20 & 21. The exact date and time are not known yet but we will post more info here as soon as it becomes available. Come see us there!
UPDATE about the online store: (1) Please note that this is the website of the Tinusaur Foundation – a non-profit association for public benefit, and we don’t have an online store; (2) The Tinusaur Boards and related products are offered by another organization, which is a business entity and has a website at https://tinusaur.com. As you already know, we ran … Read more
UPDATE 2022: The MAX7219LED8x8 library, now renamed to MAX7219tiny has now a new home at tinusaur.com/libraries/max7219tiny. Check also this MAX7219 & ATtiny85 tutorial to learn how the library works. I was playing with the MAX7219LED8x8 library and writing some code for how to use a simple scheduler to automate the task of outputting the buffer to the LED 8×8 matrix. … Read more

Check also this MAX7219 & ATtiny85 tutorial to learn how the library works. MAX7219LED8x8 is a C library for working with the MAX7219 display driver to control 8×8 LED matrix. It is intended to be used with the Tinusaur board but should also work with any other … Read more
Ever wanted to do a project with that cheap DHT11 temperature/humidity sensor and did not want to go the Arduino way but with a simple ATtiny85? You probably know already about the issues with the existing Arduino based libraries running on the ATtiny microcontrollers, but can’t deal with them. TinuDHT is our answer to this. TinuDHT is a … Read more
Another beginners tutorial is on the way – this time about a fading in and out LED. This is simple tutorial that shows how to connect a LED to the ATtiny85 based Tinusaur board and write a program that makes the LED to fade in and out using PWM (pulse-width-modulation) technique. Note: The code in this tutorial does not use the … Read more
UPDATE: There is an updated version of the Arduino Setup Guide at our new website https://tinusaur.com/guides/arduino-ide-tinusaur-setup/ We have put together a short guide how to setup and use Arduino IDE for programming the Attiny85 microcontroller and the Tinusaur Board in particular. Note: This guide was tested under Microsoft Windows 8.1 operating system. Note: The example source code was tested on ATtiny85 … Read more
