I have always wanted to do an instructable, but I never had a somewhat original idea that hasn’t been done a million times, or something that had no means of building. I have some friends who recycle aluminum for money and after seeing the large bags of an unknown amount and weight of uncrushed cans, I decided to make a machine […]

In this article, we will go over how to connect an HD44780 LCD to an arduino in order to display any text that we want to show on the LCD. To do this, first, we must make the appropriate physical connections from the arduino board to the LCD. Then after, we must write the code

Analog channels A2 to A5 on an Arduino Uno are used to measure four different voltages. The measured voltages are displayed on a 16 character by 2 line LCD. The four channel Arduino multimeter can measure four independent DC voltages that can each be in the range of 0 to 50V. Voltages are displayed with

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

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

I acquired an old fax machine that looked like a ripe source of parts, like steppers, IR sensors, micro switches and things. As it turned out, it was. It also had a nice looking 2 x 16 character LCD. However, after taking everything apart, I found the LCD only had 13 pins instead of the

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

Want to be able to control a couple of servos with a thumb-joystick? But don’t know where to start? I don’t have servos, but I can put you on the right track on how to do stuff when you move the thumbstick around. This instructable will teach you how to output the direction of the

This instuctable is about making sort of a calculator that enables the user by using an analog 12-digit keyboard and 4 buttons to input the a,b,c variables into a equation and get the solution for it if there is any.(well if u don’t know what an second grade equation is probably u haven’t been in
