Through some researches I did online on how to minimize components use, I stumbled with using an ATTiny13A chip to be used in the project. And through some more researching, I decided to have my new project done using the ATTiny13 Chip. ATTiny13 Chip I bought these chips from Ali-Express. First I need to study …
I’m currently working on a project that requires a cheap, low-power micro-controller that’s programmable through Arduino and has a few more pins than the “standard” ATtiny85 micro-controller. That’s where I found the ATtiny84 and the ATtiny2313. It has many of the same features as the ATtiny85, but has 12 I/O pins / 18 I/O pins …
I have only started electronics as a hobby and it has been a great learning resource for me so I am far from any type of expert. But I like to share my knowledge. I wanted to change the logo on my OLED display. It took me days to work it out thanks to very …
I need a remote that I can program and that will work on batteries for a long time. So I was thinking of using a ATTINY with a way that enables me to send the information over the air. And when it comes down to having inexpensive yet reliable 2-way RF solutions, no one does …

In my previous blogs I started a new project Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® with a follow up about the software here. Hereafter I designed the PCB in KICAD here. It used to be, that buying PCB’s in hobby quantities, was expensive and filled with gotcha’s. Now, places like Seeed Studio can send your PCB’s to …
In my previous blog I covered the hardware and software and part II here for my Raspberry Pi® – Powerunit® project. Now its time for the PCB Design. KiCad Although KiCad (pronounced ‘Kai-Cad’, not ‘Key-Cad’ like the thing that goes in a lock) is the new hotness when it comes to PCB design. The amazing growth …
In my previous blog here, I have figured out the basic hardware & software setup for my Powerunit® project. Now Its time to fine tune the Software for my Powerunit® . Powerunit® Project – Software phase Now that the everything is working I want to fine tune the software a little bit more, and make …
How to program a ATTiny I discussed in my previous blog here. But I want to go even smaller! In stead of using the “big” DIP IC housing I wan to use the smaller SOP IC housing. But then I realized how to program these tiny things, they don’t fit on a breadboard. But first …
One thing that was still missing for me on the Raspberry Pi®, was the inclusion of some kind of power switch or Powerunit ®. Considering how many common Raspberry Pi® projects could make use of this functionality. Still, we’ve lived with this problem with the old version for a long time, and there are plenty …
