Arduino: Nokia LCD & Sensors PROBLEM: Making my Arduino, a Temperature-Relative Humidity sensor and a Nokia3310LCD screen work together. Now, I’m a Lazy Old Geek, so what I wanted was an Arduino kit that would take shields. This Freeduino was the cheapest that I could find at the time. http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/freeduino-usb-complete-kit-p-58.html?cPath=79_82 Since I was at Seeedstudio, […]
We’ve seen plenty of people 3D printing custom gears over the years, but [Mr Innovative] decided against an additive process for his bespoke component. He ended up using a simple CNC machine that makes use of several components that were either salvaged from a 3D printer or produced on one. Using a small saw blade, the machine
Have you ever wanted an ultrasonic tape measure, like this Stanley? (See picture). Well, I have but then I am a Lazy Old Geek. I don’t really need one but I thought I’d try to make one. And naturally, I thought of an Arduino. August 2012 update: I just found out the software used in
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
The increased interest in IoT and electric automobiles around the world is driving an increase in the use of Lithium-Ion/Lithium-Polymer/NiCd/NiMH batteries as more devices and applications are using them, due to their high energy storage capacity to size ratio. This increased interest is, however, causing an increase in the number of batteries with “fake” ampere-hours

When [Stephen Cass] found himself with a broken Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 portable computer, the simplest solution was to buy another broken one and make one working computer from two non-working computers. However, this left him with a dilemma — what to do with the (now even more) broken one left over? Naturally, he did

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

There are certain design aesthetics from every era that manage to survive the fads of their time and live throughout history. Ancient Greek architecture is still drawn upon for design inspiration in modern buildings, the mid-century modern style from the 60s still inspires various designs of consumer goods, and the rounded, clean looking cars from

In this lesson(Nokia Library For Proteus), I will show you how to build a simple Graphical User Interface with the help of the Nokia 3310 LCD. I will design a Nokia 3310 Menu interface with the used of Arduino. Nokia Library For Proteus Nokia 3310 LCD is a Graphical LCD device where we can manage
Three Linear Triple Output Power Supplies launched by Global Specialties feature have fully programmable isolated outputs that can be adjusted independently or combined in series or parallel for higher voltage or current. Each model offers variable voltage and current on two channels, with the third channel output rated at 6V & 5A. Each front panel
