It is time now to write a library that will use the Debugging Output. In the previous 2 articles about OWOWOD we managed to generate proper serial signal and start sending characters out observing the result on an oscilloscope. (see previous articles Part 1 and Part 2 for reference) The functions we have so far are: … Read more
In my previous post “OWOWOD – One Wire / One Way Output for Debugging the Tinusaur (Part 1)” I wrote how to get a proper reference signal from a serial communication using USB-to-Serial TTL converter. The next steps are to generate the same signal but programmatically using the ATtiny85. And this is what I did … … Read more
I always wanted to be able to write something like this in my code … have that running on the micro-controller and see the debugging output on my computer. The Problem Unfortunately that is not easy – in fact not possible with the standard tools used to work with the ATtiny85. The problem is this: (1) those … 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
