3.2″ TFT LCD Touch Screen on Arduino Due
I got myself a 3rd party Arduino Due to complement the 3.2″ TFT LCD because the Arduino Mega is simply too slow. At RM 75, it is half the price of the original Arduino Due. It works just the same and has the identical Atmel SAM3X8E ARM Cortex-M3 CPU. The best thing about it is it’s red in colour, which makes it …
3.2″ TFT LCD Display (ILI9481)
In this article, I’ll be testing out the 3.2″ TFT LCD Display with the ILI9481 controller. I’ve also decided to make my own interfacing circuit instead of buying a shield. At the back of the LCD are the pinouts and the SD card slot which can be used to load images. I will be using an Arduino Mega 2560 as the …
Rotary Encoder 500ppr Resolution
In this post, I’ll be reviewing the B-106-23983 Rotary Encoder. It is made by ESB and has a resolution of 500 pulse per round. This is a high-end rotary encoder and is used in critical automated applications. It is mostly found in industry machines rather than consumer electronics. It costs RM 350 as stated in the cytron website. Below are …
PCD8544 Nokia 3310 Graphical LCD
Remember the good old Nokia 3310? For display, it’s using a Philips PCD8544 Graphical LCD. It features a whopping 84 x 48 pixels of resolution to ensure true clarity when playing Space Impact or Snake II 😀 Apparently now you can buy a module with this graphical LCD on it for around RM 10 shipped from China. Well, if you …
Arduino Bluetooth LCD
Did a simple test with the Bluetooth module, send a text from the computer and display it on an LCD. Useful for displaying messages wirelessly, something like the queue counter displays you see in banks. I used the same exact sample code from the Arduino IDE. You can find it in File -> Examples -> LiquidCrystal -> SerialDisplay. Just connect …
Arduino Twitter Feed Viewer
The reason why I got the Ethernet Shield is because I found that there are lots of interesting things to do with it. One of it is to make the Arduino obtain live twitter feeds from the Internet and display it on an LCD. I got the inspiration from the example Twitter sketch in the Ethernet Library. I just modified …
