ATtiny13 – randomly flashing LED with PRNG based on BBS

This project is very similar to ATtiny13 – randomly flashing LED with PRNG based on LFSR. However, this time I used BBS (Blum-Blum-Shumb) algorithm as PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator) to generate 16-bit (pseudo) random numbers. The less significant bit of randomly generated number is a major factor in decision to on/off the LED. The code is on Github, click here Parts Required … Read more

ATtiny13 – hardware PWM

This article shows how to make an ATtiny13 to generate hardware PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal. The example code uses timer in Fast PWM mode (WGM02:0 = 3, see manual section 11.7.3). In this mode, by setting the COM0A1:0 bits to one, the compare unit allows generation of PWM waveforms on the AC0A pin (PB0) with duty resolution 0..255. The presented example … Read more
