Arduino Serial Data Logger

Under $8 Arduino Serial Data Logger – Record to SD Card

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By

Disclosure: This project operates the ATmega328-P-PU outside the published ATmel specifications: According to ATmel, the 328P requires slightly over 3.3V to reliably start the oscillator at 16MHz and to otherwise perform acceptably.  Lab testing here at SofKinetics has shown that the ‘board-duino’ 328P-PU can withstand below freezing and above 130F temperatures and that the 16MHz crystal …

Arduino Switch case2 Statement

Arduino Switch (case) Statement, used with serial input

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By

An if statement allows you to choose between two discrete options, TRUE or FALSE. When there are more than two options, you can use multiple if statements, or you can use the switch statement. Switch allows you to choose between several discrete options. This tutorial shows you how to use switch to turn on one of several …

Arduino Bootloader

Burning the Bootloader on ATMega328 using Arduino UNO as ISP

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By

I had one remote controlled project that needed an Arduino running 24/7 but I didn’t want to leave my $32 Arduino UNO, so I decided to buy some pieces and created my own Arduino. The most important part was buying the microcontroller. These were my options: ATMega328P-PU with Optiboot ~ $5.50 (Sparkfun) / $5.19 (Digikey) …

Programming an ATtiny w Arduino 2 (1)

Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.0

Leave a Comment / Using Arduino / By

This tutorial shows you how to program an ATtiny45, ATtiny85, ATtiny44 or ATtiny84 microcontroller using the Arduino software. These are small, cheap ($2-3) microcontrollers that are convenient for running simple programs. The ATtiny45 and ATtiny85 have eight legs and are almost identical, except that the ATtiny85 has twice the memory of the ATtiny45 and can …
