Programming the ATtiny10 with an Arduino

tiny10

The ATtiny10 - along with its younger siblings that go by the names ATtiny 4, 5, and 9 - are the smallest microcontrollers Atmel makes. With only 32 bytes of RAM and 1 kB of Flash, there's still whole lot you can do with this tiny six-pin chip. [feynman17] figured out a way to program this chip using an Arduino, allowing him to throw just about anything at this absurdly small … [Read more...]

Making chiptunes with 32 bytes of RAM

http://vimeo.com/47380710 Ah, chiptunes. One of the few remaining human endeavours where less RAM, less storage space, and fewer capabilities are actually considered an improvement. [dop3joe] over at the Stuttgart hackerspace Shackspace sent in a tiny chiptune playing circuit using the most bare-bones hardware we've ever seen. The Noiseplug, as [dop3joe] calls it, is based on a very, very … [Read more...]
