Overview

Clock pulse generator kicad scheme is an open-source printed circuit board by LeftyDeMilo, from the LeftyDeMilo/clock-pulse-generator repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board of 35.8 × 15.7 mm with 17 parts on 23 nets, routed with 129 tracks and 8 vias.

It is built around the ATTINY24A-MF. Its parts include 8 resistors, 4 connectors, 2 ICs, 1 capacitor and 1 diode. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards and the AVR (ATmega, ATtiny) boards of this library.

Breadboard Clock Pulse Generator with manual and automatic operating modes. In manual mode the circuit operates as a debounced button. In automatic mode it operates as a square wave generator. You could bear through a preset list of frequencies in a range from 0.1 Hz to 97 Hz.

Terminal

To check ATtiny24 fuses (and the MCU reaction) you could use avrdude.

sh
$ avrdude -p t24 -c usbasp

Brandnew ATtiny24 20SSU responses Fuses OK (E:FF, H:DC, L:E2), 20PU – Fuses OK (E:FF, H:DF, L:62).

Preset fuses:

sh
$ avrdude -p t24 -c usbasp -U lfuse:w:0xE2:m -U hfuse:w:0xDD:m -U efuse:w:0xFE:m

Arduino IDE

Choose the proper MCU:

Tools > Board > DIY ATtiny > ATtiny24

Choose the compilation settings

Tools >

  • Use Bootloader: "No (ISP Programmer Upload)"
  • Processor Speed: "8MHz Internal Oscillator"
  • Millis, Tone Support: "Millis Available, No Tone"
  • Millis Accuracy: "Better Or Equal 0.1% Error (Highest Code Use)"
  • Processor Version: "ATtiny24"
  • Programmer: "DIY ATTiny: USBasp"

Upload sketch through ICSP connector using USBasp programmer:

Operating Manual

Use double click to change operating mode. In both modes an LED indicates a voltage level on the PULSE pin.

Manual mode

In manual mode the device operates as a debounced button. The seven segment display indicates a voltage level on the PULSE pin (like an oscilloscope).

Automatic Pulse Mode

In automatic pulse mode the display indicates a current pulse frequency. You could bear though frequencies with a long button click.

Square wave pulse of 0.2 Hz

Questions

How big is the Clock pulse generator kicad scheme PCB?

It measures 35.8 × 15.7 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Clock pulse generator kicad scheme use?

17 parts, built around the ATTINY24A-MF. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Clock pulse generator kicad scheme KiCad files?

From the LeftyDeMilo/clock-pulse-generator repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is clock_pulse_generator_kicad_scheme/clock_pulse_generator_kicad_scheme.kicad_pcb and its schematic clock_pulse_generator_kicad_scheme/clock_pulse_generator_kicad_scheme.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Clock pulse generator kicad scheme design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask LeftyDeMilo before reusing the design.
