Cool microcontroller project from kalinda. In this project he used microcontroller AVR Attiny2313 that is perfect for controlling the 13 pins required for the matrix of LEDs. he has also provided pins in the most optimal order to occupy as little as possible.
List of materials
- Programmer for AVR micros (AVRisp MKUII in my case)
- Microcontroller Attiny2313 with fuses configured for internal oscillator 8Mhz
- 1x Display 5 × 7 leds Kingbright
- 1x voltage regulator 7805
- 1x battery or source of food 9v
- 2x Capacitors 100uF
- 2x Capacitors 100nF
- 5x Resistances 90 Ohms
