Slightly fiddly-to-find ATtiny412 information

The delightful 8pin ATtiny412 comes in a few versions, all with 4kbyte of flash and 256byte of ram, and it takes a while to dig out the following: ATtiny412-SSNR 20MHz 1.8-5.5V -40 to +105°C tape and reel ATtiny412-SSN tube or tray ATtiny412-SSFR 16MHz 2.7-5.5V -40 to +125°C tape and reel ATtiny412-SSF tube or tray  

Arduino shield demonstrates 25m optical fibre comms

OMC fibre optic Arduino shield

OMC has launched a fibre optic transceiver shield for Arduino Uno, designed to work with PMMA (polymer) optical cables up to 25m long, plus demonstration software. Operation is possible at 300, 600, 1,200, 2,400, 4,800, 9,600, 14,400, 19,200, 28,800, 38,400, 57,600 or 115,200bit/s. “The actual fibre optic emitter and receiver pair can operate up to 5M baud – the shield ...

Making the right choice for embedded boards

The plethora of off-the-shelf boards available for development and production can make a bewildering choice. Engineers need to bear a number of criteria in mind, advises Simon Wade. There are many choices facing embedded systems developers who want to use off-the-shelf boards for development and production. There are numerous offerings based around the Arm architecture alone. The open licensing policy ...

Arduino swaps sensors on Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense

Arduino Nano 33 BLE sense Rev2

Arduino has bought out second revisions of its Nano 33 BLE and Nano 33 BLE Sense bluetooth-equipped microcontroller boards, keeping the sensor mix, but changing several of the sensor ICs. The nRF52840 IC (via a u-blox NINA-B306 module) stays the same, and still provides both an Arm Cortex-M4 processor and a Bluetooth transceiver – to go with these is an ...

The BinDaycator lights up bin colour due for collection

bindaycator-300x200.jpg

I love this one, and I love the name: the BinDaycator, an MCU-controlled model that tells you which coloured bin is due for collection. I first saw an image of it on twitter, on one of those syndicate collection site – all about the bantz and the lolz and funny pets – but thought it was worth following further… It ...
