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 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

This guide will explain the basics of controlling multiple 7 segment displays using an Arduino and a couple of shift registers. This project is ideal for displaying numerical data or managing a set of LEDs. As a beginner, like me, I had no clue on how to tackle this task. After trying out different methods

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

We have used the pda with a desktop computer (robot) and with the Nslu2. Here we are going to use an old pda with serial port.to act as an lcd. Everyone either has one or knows someone who has an old pda that they do not use anymore. Ask them if you can borrow it

B-Squares is a modular electronics platform that enables users to build, customize, and continuously update their own electronics applications. In this B-Squares App we will cover how to assemble a simple Color-LCD Application using the Arduino-Square. Hardware: 1. Arduino-Square. 2. Battery-Square 3. Color LCD Shield. 4. FTDI USB connector (3.3V). Software: 1. Arduino Software. 2. BSQ-ColorLCD

First of all we would like to thank everybody that helped organizing the 2nd edition of Arduino Jam, and especially the Jo3ri, who supplied us with some quite cool goodies and kept us safe during the weekend. (Video will come soon!) This project is a contribution to the second belgian Arduino Jam (2012) at Timelab,

This game is a homage to Ariadne, the maze-generator from Inception 🙂 If you haven’t seen the movie yet – watch this video again after you do (you can also watch it now – it’s not a spoiler, it’s just funnier for inception-vets). The nice thing about it is that it’s a 1st-person game, so when you

This is the project that got Autodesk’s CEO Carl Bass a little extra attention from the TSA on his way to MakerFaire Tokyo. Here’s an article about that… We made this as way to demo a few things you can do with our apps, 123D Circuits and 123D Design : Design circuits. Simulate the circuits online. 3D Model online and prepare
