In this article we will look at the mlx90615 infrared thermometer connect it to a chipkit, in this case we used a chipKit Max32 but the other boards should work as well The MLX90615 is a miniature infrared thermometer for non-contact …

Chipkit MAx32 and LCD4884 shield example, there seems to be a couple of different LCD4884 shields with slightly different pinouts. This is for this variant which is made by DFrobot and Sainsmart Code I tried this library http://www.rinkydinkelectronics.com/library.php?id=44 This is …

The next in our list of arduino shields that we will be testing with the Chipkit Max32 is known as the Clock shield or Tick tock shield Here is a picture of this shield Features Battery Holder : Battery on …

We will now look at some more Easy module Shield V1 examples, this time looking at the DHT11 and LM35 temperature sensors here is a picture of the shield   Sample Code We are going to look at the two temperature …

On to another Arduino shield and this is one of my favourites, its a low cost shield which contains a variety of resources on it making it ideal for beginners. We will again connect this to a Chipkit Max32 and …

More Chipkit 32 and Multi function shield examples following on from – Chipkit Max32 and Multifunction shield example Code Example Pot and led [codesyntax lang=”cpp”] const byte LED[] = {13,12,11,10}; #define Pot1 0 void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // initialize the digital …

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 …

This barometric pressure sensor is optimized for altimeters and variometers with an altitude resolution of 10 cm. The sensor module includes a high linearity pressure sensor and an ultra-low power 24 bit ΔΣ ADC with internal factory calibrated coefficients. It …

In this example we will connect a TMP175 to a Chipkit Uno and the example will be written in the Arduino IDE The TMP75 and TMP175 devices are digital temperature sensors ideal for NTC and PTC thermistor replacement. The devices …

The Honeywell HMC5983 is a temperature compensated three-axis integrated circuit magnetometer. This surface-mount, multi-chip module is designed for low-field magnetic sensing for applications such as automotive and personal navigation, vehicle detection, and pointing. The HMC5983 includes our state-of-the-art, high-resolution HMC118X …
