How to flash an ATtiny 25, 45 or 85 with Arduino

In this article I will try to keep it as simple as possible (in terminology) but also as complete as possible about what the ATtiny microcontrollers are, what they can do and how to flash them with something like your standard Arduino UNO (or clone) board. What is the ATtiny? Well to keep it very…

3D Printing For Pigeons (safety and tips)

3D Printing for pigeons – Introduction I’m creating this article because as some of you might have noticed (or not), I/we make quite a lot of projects which are (also suitable) for our rescue pet pigeon Sophie (which btw also has her own blog).

Moving Domains and Rebranding

Due to us moving to a new domain (as announced earlier), I’ll have to ‘re-brand’ almost every PCB, project, 3D File and document/datasheet. Therefor I have decided to take all projects (which contain the old “branding” with team-xnl.nl) ‘offline’ for now. I’m currently working on rebranding all the projects, files and documents, and you will…
