Introducing the TinyLoadr AVR Breakout
Shortly after I decided to make the TinyLoadr AVR Programmer, I had an idea for another project. While the programmer works well, some people prefer using their own AVR programmer, be it a cheap USBasp or an AVRISP mkII. There are plenty of ATmega and ATtiny breakout boards, but none (that I could find) that supported multiple AVRs […]
Build Instructions: Simon Says Game Kit v2.0
These are the build instructions for the Simon Says game kit v2.0. While this kit is for beginners, these instructions assume that the user has a basic knowledge of soldering. If you do not know how to solder, then check out this great guide by Sparkfun before continuing.
Introducing the TinyLoadr AVR Programmer
I finally finished the next version of my TinyLoadr AVR programming Shield – and it’s not a shield. It’s a standalone USB programmer, so you no longer have to have an extra Arduino laying around. The best part? It’s the same price as the shield was! Read more to find out more about it, or […]
Docs: How to use the TinyLoadr AVR Programmer
Introduction This tutorial will show you how to use the TinyLoadr AVR Programmer to upload code to a DIP microcontroller in the built-in ZIF socket as well as how to upload code to a target PCB with an AVR on it using the ICSP headers. Note: These instructions apply to all TinyLoadr models, regardless of USB […]
Arduino-Powered Foosball Scoreboard (Part 2)
This is part 2 of 2 in my post about my Arduino-Powered foosball scoreboard. Here’s a link to part 1. After building the first Arduino-powered foosball scoreboard, I was really excited. I showed it off to coworkers, friends, and family, and I also posted about it online. I got some great feedback, and started thinking about […]
Arduino-Powered Foosball Scoreboard (Part 1)
This is part 1 of 2 in my post about my Arduino-Powered foosball scoreboard. Here’s a link to part 2. At my office, we have a foosball table. There’s nothing really special about it. Rather there was nothing really special about it until last year. My boss and I play fairly often, and we had always […]
“ArduinoISP Deluxe Shield” is now “TinyLoadr Shield”
When I made the first prototype for my ATtiny and ATmega programming shield, I decided to call it the ArduinoISP Deluxe Shield. “ArduinoISP” came from the fact that it would rely on the ArduinoISP sketch in order to be useful, and the “Deluxe” part was because while there were already other ATmega or ATtiny programming […]
Sneak peak: TinyLoadr Shield 3.0 prototype
Note: The ArduinoISP Deluxe Shield has a new name: TinyLoadr Shield! Read more about it here. I’ve been pretty busy lately, but one thing I’ve been playing with is an experimental new version of my ArduinoISP Deluxe TinyLoadr Shield. Here’s a sneak peak at the bare PCB. FYI, all of those traces are hand-routed. This is […]
