Also, this module focuses on how to time events using Arduino’s built-in function millis (). It is designed to be used with a pre-built ramp that can be provided if used in a classroom environment.

For example, when manually setting a port pin to pwm, what information does one have to provide the compiler to tell it what you have done, and how should that information be delivered – is simply ...

Sometimes you don't need a large microcontroller to get your work done. In this installment, TK teaches us how to use the ATtiny combined with Arduino to use the PWM function found on this chip.

To that end, [Josh] wanted to try using a rather famous IC with his Arduino to build a viable timepiece. [Josh]’s idea was straightforward—employ a 555 timer IC to generate a square wave at 1 Hz.

You’ve got to love block diagrams with cryptic TLAs & FLAs (3 & 4-letter acronyms The less obvious ones are: UPDI (programming & debug interface), TWI (two-wire interface, a.k.a. I2C & SMBus; that ...

The programmable timer features and up counter, down counter, and point accumulator that can be programmed manually using only one on-board button, or digitally with your Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
