ASCII Table using Arduino

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

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.

void setup() {
//Initialize serial and wait for port to open:
Serial.begin(9600);
while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}
// prints title with ending line break
Serial.println(“ASCII Table ~ Character Map”);
}
// first visible ASCIIcharacter ‘!’ is number 33:
int thisByte = 33;
// you can also write ASCII characters in single quotes.
// for example. ‘!’ is the same as 33, so you could also use this:
//int thisByte = ‘!’;
void loop() {
// prints value unaltered, i.e. the raw binary version of the
// byte. The serial monitor interprets all bytes as
// ASCII, so 33, the first number,  will show up as ‘!’
Serial.write(thisByte);
