Demonstrates the advanced serial printing functions by generating a table of characters and their ASCII values in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary. For more on ASCII, see asciitable.com
Circuit
image developed using Fritzing. For more circuit examples, see the Fritzing project page
None, but the Arduino has to be connected to the computer.
Code
/*
ASCII table
Prints out byte values in all possible formats:
* as raw binary values
* as ASCII-encoded decimal, hex, octal, and binary values
For more on ASCII, see http://www.asciitable.com and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
The circuit: No external hardware needed.
