This guide aims to explain what registers are, and how to work with them. It applies to miniMO and the Arduino IDE but also to microcontrollers in general, and will be most useful to you if you can understand basic programs and would like to modify the setup of the timers or other peripherals within the microcontroller, but can’t make clear sense of lines like ADMUX |= (1 << ADLAR);

Build a 3D printed miniMO Noisette: step-by-step guide
miniMO is a reprogrammable synthesizer module designed to encourage everyone to try modular synthesis. Currently there are two models available: one is PCB-based with soldered components, whilst the other (code name Noisette) is built on 3D-printed parts and requires no soldering. I will show you how to assemble and program the latter model.More…
PWM, DAC, and timers on the ATtiny
miniMO’s brain is an Atmel AVR ATtiny85. This guide explains how to use ATtiny’s timers to create a train of pulses of variable width, itself translated into sound via a digital-to-analog converter.
