A Tiny Success: Flashing the USBasp
Two weeks ago I posted about my experiment with the ATTiny10. A 12Mhz 8-bit micro controller small enough to be confused with an obese ant. Unfortunately I didn’t succeed in programming this tiny guy, so this week I continue my small scale flashing quest.
A Tiny Failure
If you are a regular visitor of my blog, you might know that (with a few exceptions) I’ve been posting a new blog posts every two weeks. Unfortunately I skipped this regular update last week, because I’ve been a little bit sick. Nothing major, but I didn’t want to contaminate my boxes of SMD components with germs.

Ever since I have my own company I wanted to have a PCB business card. Of course I wouldn’t be the first, but it would definitely give a nice touch to my company’s identity. And since I wanted to give KiCad a good try anyway, why not go for it?
The Easter Egg-F-O
Every year during Easter, my family in law organise a serious egg decoration competition. Throwing around some paint won’t do it for you. And since I didn’t win last year, it was time to step up my game …
Meduino: my first medical application.
According to Philips, healthcare engineering is where the big money is. So hey, why not built a medial application myself? Ever since I was a child, my posture isn’t the way I would like it to be. I tend to stand like a 90 year old crooked guy. Let’s built something to change that!
TinyLoadr Santa!
A little while ago I wrote a small blog post blog post about the TinyLoadr Shield. This awesome shield created by Jeff Murchison was my one stop solution for programming my ATTiny’s and ATMega’s. Until last week …
