Chipkit Max32 and Multifunction shield example

I recently purchased a Chipkit Max32 and was pleased to see that this board has protection so that it can interface with 5v board, shields and modules.

This is a snag with many ‘arduino’ compatible boards, they are 3.3v I/O but a lot feature 5v to the shield and then analog/digital inputs and outputs from the shield will run at 5v hence damaging the main board.

In this firs part we will look at various arduino shields and make sure the shield works and will have a few examples

In this one we look at the Multifunction shield

Code Examples

Blink LED example

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

Blinking LED

int led = 13;

void setup() 
{                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output.
  pinMode(led, OUTPUT);     
}


void loop() 
{
  digitalWrite(led, HIGH);   
  delay(1000);              
  digitalWrite(led, LOW);   
  delay(1000);               
}

Buttons example

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

const byte LED[] = {13,12,11,10};

#define BUTTON1 A1
#define BUTTON2 A2

void setup() 
{                
  // initialize the digital pin as an output.
  /* Set each pin to outputs */
  pinMode(LED[0], OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED[1], OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED[2], OUTPUT);
  pinMode(LED[3], OUTPUT);
}


void loop() 
{
  if(!digitalRead(BUTTON1))
  {
    digitalWrite(LED[0], HIGH);
    digitalWrite(LED[1], HIGH);
    digitalWrite(LED[2], HIGH);
    digitalWrite(LED[3], HIGH);  
  }  

  if(!digitalRead(BUTTON2))
  {
    digitalWrite(LED[0], LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED[1], LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED[2], LOW);
    digitalWrite(LED[3], LOW); 
  }

POT example

[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]

#define Pot1 0

void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600); 
}

/* Main Program */
void loop()
{

  Serial.print("Potentiometer reading: ");
  Serial.println(analogRead(Pot1));
  /* Wait 0.5 seconds before reading again */
  delay(500);
}
