In this example we take a look at the MAX6675 Cold-Junction-Compensated K-Thermocouple-to-Digital Converter The MAX6675 performs cold-junction compensation and digitizes the signal from a type-K thermocouple. The data is output in a 12-bit resolution, SPI™-compatible, read-only format. This converter resolves temperatures…
In this example we again use the MAX7219 but this time we will be driving an 8×8 LED matrix like the following module The MAX7219/MAX7221 are compact, serial input/output common-cathode display drivers that interface microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED…
In this example we will create a Magic 8-ball using an Chipkit Uno and an LCD keypad shield, when one of the buttons is pressed a random message will be displayed. The Magic 8 Ball is a toy used for fortune-telling…
In this example we will connect an RGB LED to our Chipkit Uno and control it via a C# winforms app that will send commands down to the Chipkit via the com port. In this example we keep the commands very simple…
This is a simple example which shows how to connect an LDR to a Chipkit UNO. In this example we are using Mpide and will be outputting the results via the serial monitor window A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR)…
In this example we keep the LCD shield connected to our Chipkit UNO and this time we will connect an LDR to A4, read the value in and display it on the LCD display I used an LDR breakout but…
In this example we connected an Arduino LCD shield to our Chipkit UNO and displayed some basic text. here is a typical example of this shield, its a low cost 16 x 2 LCD and is good for many projects,…
