LEAP#256 The BoldportClub Pease
A Bob Pease tribute, this LM331 voltage-to-frequency kit was the first Boldport Club project.
I joined the Boldport Club rather late, and missed out on the original Pease kit (now out of stock).
But I did manage to snaffle the PCB in sale of “Just Less the Perfect” boards.
Since I was kit-less, I decided to experiment a bit and slow down the frequency - the end result is a light/voltage controlled “blinky”.
As always, all notes, schematics and code are in the Little Electronics & Arduino Projects repo on GitHub
Here’s a quick demo video to show it works..

LEAP#255 ATtiny PWM
PWM with ATtiny is not simply a subset of how things work on the ATmega328.
It offers some different capabilities.
This is my summary of hardware PWM control with a range of examples of controlling duty cycle and frequency with the ATtiny85.

LEAP#254 AVR Hardware PWM
Arduino provides great out-of-the-box PWM capability, but not a simple way to modify the PWM frequency.
To do that you need to work directly with the processor registers.
This is my summary of hardware PWM control with a range of examples of controlling duty cycle and frequency with the Arduino UNO/ATmega328.

LEAP#253 ATtiny Programming Shield
I covered programming an ATtiny with the Arduino ISP in the
ATtinyWithArduinoISP project.
Since I’ve been programming a few more ATtiny processors, and simplify the processing of programming an ATtiny with ArduinoISP, I wired up a strip of protoboard to serve as a custom programming shield.
