It’s interesting to explore what we can do with this tiny 8 pins; 8-bit microcontroller. The ATtiny13 is the smallest and cheapest Atmel AVR 8-bit microcontroller families but yet, it’s loaded with sophisticated peripherals such as two 8-bit PWM channels and 4 channels 10-bit ADC.

Microchip's PIC32 “MX1” and “MX2” MCUs are the smallest and lowest-cost PIC32 microcontrollers, and are the first PIC32 MCUs to feature dedicated audio and capacitive-sensing peripherals.
I finally got round to trying my hand at microcontroller programming. Following this instructable it was dead easy.
The main problem I ran up against was in the software. On Linux you need the ppdev module in order to have access to /dev/parports. In menuconfig it's Device drivers -> Character devices -> Support for user-space parallel port device drivers.
On Debian you need the following packages:
avr-libc binutils-avr gcc-avr avrdude
Your user also needs to be in the lp group for access to the parallel port.

Microchip announced the expansion of its Low Power PIC® microcontroller (MCU) portfolio. Features of the new PIC24F “GB6” family include up to 1 MB of Flash memory with Error Correction Code (ECC) and 32 KB of RAM, making it the first 16-bit MCU in Microchip’s portfolio to offer such a large memory size. Also featuring dual-partition Flash with Live Update capability, these devices can hold two independent software applications, permitting the simultaneous programming of one partition while executing application code from the other. This powerful combination of features makes the PIC24F “GB6” family ideal for industrial, computer, medical/fitness and portable applications that require a long battery life, and data transfer and storage without the need of external memory, such as electricity metering, HVAC control, fingerprint scanners and gaming.

I have been building projects using PIC microcontrollers for years. This is one of my best devices. This is used during a speech in a Toastmasters club to inform the speaker of their time remaining. Green LEDs indicate they have spoken long enough, red means time is up, and yellow is halfway in-between. All of the LEDs are colored, even though some appear clear in the photo. The control panel and LCD display offer great flexibility in how the timer operates.

Microchip announced from Electronica in Germany an expansion of its 8-bit PIC® microcontroller (MCU) portfolio, with the peripheral-rich, low-pin count PIC16(L)F161X family. These new MCUs introduce and expand the offering of Microchip’s Core Independent Peripherals (CIP), which were designed to reduce interrupt latency, lower-power consumption and increase system efficiency, and safety, while minimizing design time and effort. These peripherals are designed to reduce system complexity by eliminating the need for additional code and external components. Hardware-based peripherals offload timing-critical and core-intensive functions from the CPU, allowing it to focus on other critical tasks within the system.

Mr. Geon-Mo Kang, VP of R&D at Samsung Electronics (left), receives trophy from Microchip Technology Inc. CEO Steve Sanghi (right), commemorating the shipment of Microchip's 10 billionth PIC® microcontroller (MCU) to Samsung. Microchip delivered this 10 billionth microcontroller, the 32-bit PIC32MX340F256, www.microchip.com/get/N46K, approximately 10 months after delivering its nine billionth.
Microchip Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced its partnership with Silicon Integrated Systems Corp. (SiS) to provide customers with complete projected-capacitive touch (PCAP) and 3D-gesture interface modules, which will lead to faster development and lower costs. The modules will make it easier to design multi-touch and 3D gesture displays with Microchip’s award-winning GestIC® technology, which offers a hand tracking range of up to 20 centimeters (cm) from the display surface. Hand gestures are universal, hygienic and easy to learn. In addition, they enhance safety by reducing the need for precise hand-eye coordination.

Fishing line power transmission.
The first time I saw the Timescapes teasers I knew I would have to build a camera slider and explore the timelapse world for myself.
After a lot of research on this forum and a lot of late nights I have finally tested my motorised camera slider.
Lego gearset (don't laugh it works a treat) fishing line power transmission, aluminium door frame extrusion, Arduino micro controller and a 12v stepper motor. Note the termination of the fishing line with stainless steel thimbles and cotton covered hair bands, this takes up any harsh speed changes or direction changes.
All my demo timelapses have worked just fine.
The attached photos might explain the build better.
