3D filament 3D printer filament is long thermoplastic threads used for fused deposition modelling 3D printers.Few important types of filaments are ABS filament, PLA filament, PETG filament, PETT filament, Nylon filament, PVA filament, sandstone filamnet, wood filament, metal filament. These are usually spooled into a reel for storage and printer feeding. The thread is fed …
How to Design for 3D Printing? Introduction We can design pretty much everything on software, but when the model we made has to be printed a host of physical considerations have to be kept in mind to successfully realize the model. There are some basic considerations which are needed to be followed to ensure a …
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Various 3d printing technology includes Fused Deposition Modeling, stereolithography, digital light processing, selective laser sintering, electron beam melting, direct metal laser sintering and multi jet fusion.FDM is the most commonly used 3D printing technology, it is the one that comes to our mind as soon as someone mentions 3D Printing Technology. …
What is 3D Printing? Introduction Since time immemorial, humans have always had a knack for creating. From making wooden spears to mammoth structures of steel, we have come a long way. Making something new has always been a long, tedious process involving a lot of trial and error, oftentimes requiring big expensive devices to be …
What is IFTTT IFTTT stands for – If This Then That. This service is used by users to create small tasks that coordinate Internet and certain web services by creating simple code snippets, conditional statements known as applets. The IFTTT is based on the following rules: The above-mentioned services serve as the building blocks of …
waveform generator using attiny85 As discussed in the previous article ATtiny85 has a special 64MHz clock that can be configured along with Timer/Counter1 to fast digital to analogue conversion. For doing so, initially the clock source has to be specified for Timer/Counter1. So the 6MHz clock is turned on.To make Timer/Counter1 act like a digital-to-analogue …
Introduction to SPI SPI communication is known as Serial Peripheral Interface. SPI is a form of Serial Communication that uses three pins to transfer data. Serial communication provides a means to communicate with external hardware devices. In SPI communication the connected devices act as master and slave in order to establish a connection and carry …
Counters in attiny85 Like Timers, counters are also peripherals in microcontrollers. As the name suggests,attiny85 counters are used to count external or internal clock pulses. Such pulses/events that are counted are stored in certain registers which can then be further processed and retrieved. As the timer module in ATtiny85 is 8-bit, the counter can count …
Timers in Attiny85 Timers are peripherals in the microcontroller. This can generate very accurate time delays using microcontrollers. It can perform various other functionalities like functions as counter, PWM generation, capture external incoming signals, etc. ATtiny85 microcontroller can be used to generate analog output with the help of PWM. This can be done with the …
GPIO GPIO stands for General Purpose Input/Output. To connect microcontrollers with various available devices, this simple standard interface is used i.e. GPIO. GPIO is used in three main modes: input, output and UART interface. Input mode is the default mode wherein input is received from the connected device, output mode data is delivered to the …
