Parts Required arduino board (i.e. Arduino/Genuino UNO) basic LED (i.e. on-board LED) Software This code is written in C++ and can be compiled using an Arduino IDE. All information about how to compile this project is here. … Read more
This article shows the feasibility of using ADC input of AVR chip as a source of True Random Number Generator (TRNG). I have prepared the testbed and recorded via UART (115200; 8N1) about 50’000’000 of 32bit random numbers. The tests took about 11 hours (including a time I spent to pray to UART for a … Read more

This is an upgraded version of MBAVR-1 – a minimalist development board for tiny AVR microcontrollers like ATtiny13, ATtiny15, ATtiny25, ATtiny45 or ATtiny85. The board has been designed for a rapid prototyping of devices based on tinyAVR chips. The small-size MBAVR-1t board can be installed directly on protoboard or used as shield by other PCB. Also, by adding DIP8 holder you can … Read more
This article shows how to make ATtiny13 to read temperature and humidity from DHT11 sensor and log this information using a Software UART. What you need is connect DHT11 DATA-pin to PB0 and RX-pin of USB to serial adapter to PB3 of ATtiny13. You also need to connect sensor to power supply (3.3V or 5V). Well, with a little code … Read more
The ATtiny13’s default clock source setting is the Internal RC Oscillator running at 9.6MHz with clock divider /8 (fuses L=0x6A and H=0xFF; see fuse calculator). This short article explains how to downclock the ATtiny13 by swtiching to Internal RC Oscillator running at 128kHz without clock divider (fuses L=0x7B and H=0xFF) and still have a control to program AVR … Read more
The common reason why you would like to update this firmware is unlock slow-sck function for cheap (e-bay or Aliexpress) USBasp programmers, like this one on the picture. The slow-sck function allows to program AVR chips running at very low frequency clock source (i.e. 128kHz). When your USBasp programmer prints that warning it means that firmware update is … Read more
