PIC16/17 microcontrollers and BASIC STAMP

Introducing the Microchip PIC. Many people would like to get started with microcontrollers, but don't know how to begin. That's what this page is all about -- how to get started. With a microcontroller you can do things that would be difficult to do with discrete logic. Besides its power, you can easily "change your mind" with a microcontroller -- something you can't do with discrete logic.  This site is for tutorials aimed at new microcontroller developers.

How-to Tuesday: Arduino 101 the button    
 

This is the second installment of a series about programming our favorite little micro-controller, the Arduino Covered connecting and blinking an LED. Is discussed connecting a push button that controls the LED.

This is the simplest way to use a button. However, it isn't always the best way since it doesn't account for 'debouncing'. In the next installment of this series I will talk more about 'debouncing' the button input and why it is important.

Have a fun and easy project that incorporates what we have learned so far in this series.

NETLab The New Ecology of Things Lab at Art Center's graduate Media Design Program has released a new version of their NETLab Toolkit. This is a system for more easily connecting microcontrollers to computers, especially targeted at those who may be new to hardware and programming. In this video, Professor Philip van Allen of the Media Design Program shows how you can use NETLab to easily connect a a sensor to an Arduino and to Flash on a desktop machine.

Here's the basic product description:

NETLab Toolkit is a free set of software tools that enable designers to easily "sketch in hardware". With no programming at all and working in the familiar environment of Flash (or Processing or MAX/MSP), designers can hook up a physical sensor (e.g. a knob) and immediately get that knob to control a motor or a video projection. The toolkit works with a wide range of sensors, wireless sensors, input from the Wii Remote, controls motors and LEDs, communicates with MIDI devices, controls sound, graphics, and video in Flash, and communicates with DMX computer controlled lighting equipment, all with a simple drag-and-drop interface (of course, programming hooks are provided as well).

How-To: Shrinkify Your Arduino Projects      

Make your Arduino project smaller

If you have a simple Arduino project that uses only a few pins, you might be able to shrink it down to a single 8-pin ATtiny chip.

In this video, Matt Richardson shows you how, based on a tutorial from MIT Media Lab's High-Low Tech Group. The best part is you can use the same Arduino code and development environment that you're already used to.

MIT High-Low Tech Group High-Low Tech, a research group at the MIT Media Lab, integrates high and low technological materials, processes, and cultures.

Their primary aim is to engage diverse audiences in designing and building their own technologies by situating computation in new cultural and material contexts, and by developing tools that democratize engineering.

They believe that the future of technology will be largely determined by end-users who will design, build, and hack their own devices, and our goal is to inspire, shape, support, and study these communities.

To this end, we explore the intersection of computation, physical materials, manufacturing processes, traditional crafts, and design. Watch a recent video about High-Low Tech here.

Programming an ATtiny w/ Arduino 1.0

This tutorial shows you how to program an ATtiny45, ATtiny85, ATtiny44 or ATtiny84 microcontroller using the Arduino software (version 1.0). 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 therefore hold more complex programs. The ATtiny44 and ATtiny84 have 14-legs and more inputs and outputs. Thanks to Mark Sproul for his work on making the Arduino core portable across processors.
