I made a mistake in programing an ATtiny for an electronic embroidery circuit and had to use alligator clips to reprogram the microcontroller while it was already sewn into the eTextile Breadboard.   Set up the Arduino Uno as ISP.     Attach alligator clips to the male to male jumper cables.     Carefully attach the alligator clips […]

How to set up a breadboard circuit for ATtiny45 to blink one LED. BREADBOARD CONNECTIONS Connect Power to ATtiny Power positive to ATtiny VCC (+, red) Power negative to ATtiny GND (-, black) Connect LED LED positive to ATtiny Pin 0 (signal, white) LED negative to resistor Resistor to negative power (-, black)   CODE Upload the following code to […]

  When working with Arduino to program ATtinys I use this standard breadboard set up. The right half I use to program and the left side I use to test.   This system allows me to upload the boot loader and code and then quickly test the microcontroller for blink.  

  Whats on my workbench?     One of my favorite circuits! A Maxbotix Ultra Sonic Range Finder, ATtiny45, and a vibrating motor.

I’ve been working on the interactive eTextile flowers that I will present at the Denver Art Museum Untitled event Friday 26 April. Inside this felted stamen I inserted a Maxbotix ultrasonic range finder   This sensor will feed analog information to an ATtiny45.  If the range is within two feet then the 10mm red LEDs will illuminate. If you are […]

  Lolwa Hassan Jamal made an eTextile lighthouse from conductive thread, ATtiny45 and a craft tech pressure sensor of conductive fabric and velostat. AWESOME! view on youtube By pressing on the light house door the user activates the LEDs to flicker. She made this three days after being introduced to an LED and 3V battery. I am so impressed!! I […]
