Collection of microcontroller projects
This is my personal stash of small electronics projects, usually written using TinyGo.
I won't guarantee anything about it. All I can say is that it did work for me at some point and I like sharing what I made. Many things are written once and then mostly forgotten so I probably won't provide any support for any of the code.
Feel free to use this code however you wish (in other words, you can treat it as public domain). Especially for small parts I won't mind if you just copy it in your project. For larger pieces of code or if you copy a project entirely, I would appreciate attribution…
