Chapter 1, page 11 This code is basic but allows the reader to gain insight into key elements for several other projects in this book. It combines two pieces of code that are listed in the examples ...

Code explanation On the first line we set a variable pinButton with an integer value of 8 (the pin number on Arduino Board where we connect the button or switch). Then in the void () function we set ...

When the Arduino code sees the button getting pressed, it brings the corresponding LED pin high and starts a fade out timer using the SoftPWM library by [Brett Hagman].

As usual with Arduino, the ‘pin numbers’ aren’t the actual chip pin numbers, unless by coincidence. The led pin was correct for me, only the push button pin needed reassigning (I added a push button ...

Makers, developers and hobbyists that enjoy tinkering with Arduino wearable open source electronic hardware and creating projects using Bluetooth connectivity, may be interested in a new tiny ...

The Adafruit Gemma measures just 1 inch in size and is powered by an ATtiny85 and programmable with an Arduino IDE over USB, allowing you to create those wearable projects of the future.

While you hopefully don't need one-button access to 911, a desk-mounted panic button is undoubtedly cool, and it makes for a great DIY Arduino project ...

Arduino-compatible ATtinys with more pins Having had such quick success making a microcontroller project using an 8pin ATtiny85 and programming it with Arduino, I though I would try a more elaborate ...

An open-source Arduino controller; a couple of $10 servomotors; a webcam to see when the robot succeeds, and some 3D-printed parts from the pair's local hackerspace were all it took.
