Arduino Tip : Turn your Analog pins into Digital I/O
Recently I’ve just found out that I can actually turn my Analog input pins into Digital Inputs or Outputs. It’s really simple. Usually for the digital pins, we write instructions such as digitalWrite(13, HIGH). To do that with analog pins, simply use digits 14 to 19. Pin 14 being Analog 0, 15 being Analog 1 and so on. Or you …
Arduino Twitter Feed Viewer

It allows the Arduino to read or write files on the memory card and this is particularly useful for data logging purposes. Yes, you can use the EEPROM on the Arduino but it’s only limited to 1024 bytes and it’s not removable. This shield …

The header pins are gold plated. The Wiznet W5100 chipset, the heart of the Arduino Ethernet Shield. The Ethernet Shield stacked on top of …
Two Arduinos Talking To Each Other

So, I asked the salesperson are there any keypads that are cheaper than those, she immediately reached for a shelve and took this out. It’s a paper …
