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
I always wonder whether it is possible to make an amplifier of class D on ATtiny13 or not. Some time ago I found George Gardner’s project based on ATtiny85 – TinyD. It was a sign to start challenging it with ATtiny13. It took me a few hours but finally I made it! The code is very short and useses a … Read more
This project is about a simple temperature logging system using ATtiny13 and the Software UART. The system reads the temperature every second and shows it on the serial console (baudrate 19200, settings 8N1). The temperature is shown in °Celsius. LM35 has been used as the temperature sensor. Complete example code is on GitHub. LM35 Temperature Sensor … Read more
This experimental project shows how to use ATtiny13 to synchronize live music and lights with only a few additional components required. Project uses single ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) channel for signal acquisition and some DSP (Digital Signal Processing) calculations that in real-time separate three frequency bands and make the LEDs dance in sync with the … Read more
