AVR’s ATtiny10

My first project using the ATtiny10

Not everything in electrical engineering needs to be serious business. Some of us like to take a break from the big challenging projects and build a small pallet cleanser project such as a pair of earrings with an embedded microcontroller that simply blinks three LEDs in fun patterns.

This particular project was a simple proof of concept using a small 8 bit microcontroller. It was programmed using a custom ZIF socketed adapter with AVR Studio 7. I built several pairs and either gave them out as gifts to people I thought would enjoy them or sold them for a few bucks.
