Arduino Uno HC-06 Simple Example using Android Phone
This post will provide a sample Arduino sketch that uses the software UART to communicate to a connected Android phone. The Android phone will be using a simple terminal app to receive and transmit data to the arduino. The total time to complete this tutorial should not take longer than 20 minutes assuming you already have and HC-06 or HC-05 bluet....... Read More
HD44780 LCD Driver for a PIC
The post will utilize the popular Hitachi HD44780 16x2 Character LCD (sometimes mispelled HD47780) to print simple messages from an 8-bit PIC. I will be using the PIC16F1829 to write to the LCD in 4-bit mode (only 4 pins). The PIC16F1829 comes with the PICkit 3 Low Pin Count Demo Board or the PICkit 3 Starter Kit. Microchip's starter kit hardware....... Read More
Graphing UART Data with LabVIEW Example using MSP430
This post will cover how to start a new LabVIEW project and graph some simple data from the COM port on the TI MSP430 launchpad. LabVIEW is by far the easiest and most suitable program for graphing and analysis. I have used several GUI builders such as Qt Desktop, Qt QML, C# Visual Studio, python matplotlib, and Java Swing - all of which still do....... Read More
