A resolution of 8×8 pixels may not sound like enough for anything interesting, but with the right setup, it is possible to create beautiful, complex animations and even add some interactivity. In the next pages I will detail the steps needed to build the low-res display you see in the video below. Step 1: Parts […]

This post is based on the work made previously by tomek in wiring LCD displays using 4 bits. The basic idea is to group the 7 pins that are needed to drive the LCD in only 3 using a shift register. This is a cheap alternative to serial LCDs. The schematic shows that wiring the

This is an Example of how you can use the Arduino to monitor various environmental parameters And display them on a LCD screen. Note: I Added a Real Time Clock!! To see the steps, added parts and Sketch I added new steps.. Step 1: Parts List Step 2: Connect display to Arduino. I used the mini

One quick fore note: this is my first Instructable and my first large Arduino project, so if you see any stupid errors or have an idea of how things could be done better, then please let me know. Now that that’s out of the way I’ll begin, I started designing this around September last year as my A2

I’m not usually one to revisit a project after I’ve finished it, but I made an exception because the problems with the original design were making this device unpleasant to use. For those of you just now viewing this project, it is the second iteration of an iPod information screen I made for my girlfriend

This Arduino project will display RSS feed headlines on an LCD via an Arduino and a USB cable. It works quite well, and lets you keep up with the world news while you’re sitting at your desk. Many of the values in the code can be changed, and the system can be adapted to display

I had initially planned to do an LCD tutorial a little further down the line, but there was very high demand for it, and I already had a circuit assembled for testing the new LCD that element14 sent me to evaluate. So, this seemed like an appropriate time to roll it out! In this episode,

Goals Hello all. I hope to please share a little robot that I have just finished building. There are many Ping Boat, perhaps with a tutorials and display less so without pretension, will illustrate what I could do. I gave myself the goal of realizing a robot that avoids obstacles, hence the use of Ping,

Step 1: Ingredients: Electronics Arduino Breadboard LCD* 2x 50k pots 150 ohm resistor Jumper wires, and tons of them! If you do not want to use a LCD then you will have to use serial monitor. Wherever you see lcd.print just change it to Serial.print. Instead of lcd.begin change it to Serial.begin(9600);. Step 2: The

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
