Transistor Controlled Relay 1

About  the Transistor Controlled Relay The output pins of most microprocessors used on this site are limited to 40ma.  This might not be enough current to control a relay, which is capable of switching larger loads, such as a motor starter.  A relay can also be used to isolate voltage Read More »

ATTiny85 Programming with “Arduino as ISP”

Introduction to ATTiny85 Programming with “Arduino as ISP” This document will walk you though ATTiny85 Programming with “Arduino as ISP” using the Arduino (or compatible) as an ISP.   We will make our connections, then program the Atmega328 (Uno board) to act as an ISP (In System Programmer).   This Read More »

ATTiny 85 Programming with USBtinyISP 2

ATTiny85 Overview — In some projects, we don’t need the amount of I/O that is supplies with the Atmega 328 MCU, so we can use a cheaper alternative….   The ATTiny85!  In many projects, space can be limited as well, but this little processor does a great job!  We have Read More »

Breaduino — Setting up the Atmega 328 on a Breadboard

This project will consist of setting up at Atmega 328 on a Breadboard.   This will be mostly compatible with the Arduino Uno.  This project is for those who are minimalists, or those who want to learn more about how the external circuitry works on a microprocessor.  I created the Read More »

Configuring a Database to log data for Arduino Projects

This document will walk you through my personal preference for creating an arduino database and tables to log data from your project to this database.  In this particular example, we will set this database up to log level, temperature, and humidity.   You will need to already have a server setup Read More »

Configuring WordPress

In this document, we will install WordPress to a server that you already have a server running in Linux, Apache2, Mysql (or MariaDB), and PHP.   If you do not have a server set up yet, you can refer to this document:  https://bryceautomation.com/index.php/configuring-virtual-private-server/ .   We will assume that you have Read More »


Configuring a VPS

In this document, we will configure a Virtual Private Server (VPS) using the service “Linode”.   This documentation is for example only.   The purpose of configuring this server is to interface with Arduino projects for logging and displaying data.  In this document, I will walk you through a step Read More »
