New ATtiny85 Quickstart Tutorial
I’ve just posted a new tutorial on getting started with the ATtiny85 micro-controller. If you’re an Arduino Uno user its a fairly seamless transition to use this low-cost, embeddable chip: ATtiny85 via Arduino Quickstart Gude
ATtiny85 prototype board complete
I Just finished scratch building and testing the first prototype of my ATtiny85 microcontroller board. Believe it or not this tiny thing is quite powerful. 1mHZ or 8mHz operation, 2.8v to 5.5v powering (everything from CS2032 watch batteries to AAAs, AAs, and LiPo battery packs). 5 input/output pins, PWM, analog input circuitry, In-System Programming with […]
ATtiny85 Processors Arrive!
I just received an order of 10 ATtiny85 microcontrollers from Jameco (they run about $1.75 each in small quantities) so I can begin to experiment with cloning Arduino code down to a much-less-expensive and easy to embed processor. So far it’s been a breeze, using an Arduino Uno as my programming device and getting the […]

Pleo Voice-Changing Script
The Pleo’s operating system uses 3 virtual machines running the PAWN scripting language to handle all the sensor input, animation output, and overall control of the built-in personality. Here is my first experiment in running Pleo code in the mysterious 4th virtual machine, the User VM. Pleo_Voice_200.zip Download and unzip this file, then copy the […]
Pleo Ships!
I’m eagerly awaiting delivery of my first Ugobe Pleo from eBay. Can’t wait to start programming!
