Building a Standalone Temperature Logger: Part 5

Posted in Projects on Feb 1st, 2011

Welcome to Part 5, in this part we’ll talk about enabling brown out detection to our Standalone Temperature Logger as a safety mechanism. The information below about brown out detection is also available as a video explanation, I recommend viewing the video whilst reading below.

Before we do anything let’s take a look at the ATtiny85’s datasheet, we want to check what voltage range works on.

Building a Standalone Temperature Logger: Part 3

Posted in Projects on Jan 21st, 2011

Lets begin with Part 3 in which I’ll hook up the ATtiny85, program the simple LED blinking test, take it away from the Arduino, run it on a 9V battery and also how we are actually using the thermistor to calculate the temperature.

Firstly we’ll visit the website I gave in the first part, which shows us how to hook up the ATtiny85 to the Arduino so the Arduino can program it. Here is a mirror of the site and download files in case it’s down: HLT wiki Arduino A Ttiny 4585_files

We choose from the Arduino program to open up the ArduinoISP sketch which is below the “8. Strings” selection. Now just upload that to your Arduino.
