Hookup an LCD to an Arduino circuit

Hookup an LCD to an Arduino

Adding an LCD display to Arduino projects can add real value but the cost of doing so can be significant. Not a financial cost – you can pick up 16 (characters) x 2 (rows) LCD for as little as £3.50. The cost is the pin count it can take to drive them. Using the built-in […]

Barcode Reading on Arduino LCD

Barcode Reading using Roborealm Output on Arduino LCD

This Instructable shows how to create a Barcode Reader using only a webcam together with Roborealm and Arduino. The webcam used in this demonstration is the Logitech Quickcam and the LCD screen is labelled, JHD162A. What you need for this project: 1. Arduino UNO 2. LCD 3. Roborealm 4. Potentiometer Step 1: Coding the Arduino […]

Arduino Serial Communication 1

Arduino Serial Communication Code

Arduino can send output through serial communication to your computer over USB. The output can be anything such as status, text, sensor reading, value, number etc. You can view the status output by clicking Serial Monitor button at Arduino Environment software. Instruction; 1) Connect your arduino to your computer using USB cable A plug to […]

Arduino Analog Read Serial

Analog Read Serial using Arduino

This example shows you how to read analog input from the physical world using a potentiometer. A potentiometer is a simple mechanical device that provides a varying amount of resistance when its shaft is turned. By passing voltage through a potentiometer and into an analog input on your Arduino, it is possible to measure the amount of […]

Arduino Keyboard Message

Arduino Keyboard Message Code

When the button is pressed in this example, a text string is sent to the computer as keyboard input. The string reports the number of times the button has been pressed. Once you have the Leonardo programmed and wired up, open up your favourite text editor to see the results. NB: When you use the […]

Arduino Joystick Mouse Control

Arduino Joystick Mouse Control Code

Using the Mouse library, you can controls a computer’s onscreen cursor with an Arduino Leonardo, Micro, or Due. This particular example uses a pushbutton to turn on and off mouse control with a joystick. Cursor movement from the Arduino is always relative. So every time the analog input is read, the cursor’s position is updated […]

Arduino Super Amazing Button

Super Amazing Button using Arduino

Hello Everyone. This is my very first Instructable so please go easy on me. This was more or less a test project to see if my new arduino board worked. Any friendly advice will be greatly appreciated so my future posts can be even better. I am going to show you how to create the […]

Arduino Computer Architecture

A Study in Non-Standard Distributed Computer Architecture using Arduino

In the following tutorial, directions are given for creating a single node for the DoHas (Distributed Optical Harvard Architecture System). After constructing two of these nodes, a small distributed computer can be implemented which uses one node for sending instructions, mimicking input and the instruction set to manage it, and another node which will act […]
