Adruino Libraries & LCD Display
The task for this week was to find out how connect and control a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with an Arduino. Connecting an LCD is physic [...]
Arduino Traffic light
First Arduino Assignment After our first Arduino session we were asked to use what we had learnt about loop functions and pin output to make [...]
Kyle’s Arduino Rundown
As some people hadn’t been in the timetabled Arduino intro session it was decided that Kyle (https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/kylewitheyde [...]
Creepy-Peepy Arduino
In my first post about programming Arduinos I used the ‘Blink’ program to make an external LED flash. As it’s lockdown an [...]
Arduino Programming and Flashing LEDs
Choose ‘Examples ’ on the menu on the left, then ‘Basic ’ and ‘Blink ’. The Blink sketch is now displayed in the code area. [...]
Intro to Arduinos
We’re back from Easter and for the next 3 weeks we’ll be having weekly sessions on Arduinos. The official Arduino introduction c [...]
Embedded Programming – Mirco:bit OLED Game
Another little project I wanted to do now that we had the OLED screen working correctly was to try and see if I could replicate this simple [...]
Embedded Programming – Mirco:bit LCD
Another challenge was to connect an OLED displauy and get it to display a reading such as temp. As I had a 16 pin LCD screen I decided to tr [...]
Electronics Design – Micro:bit Radio Chat
Another good exercise uses the inbuilt radio to let two Micro:bits communicate with each other. Me and classmate Max (blogs.brighton.ac.uk/m [...]
Electronics Design – The Tasks
With knowledge of Micro:bits and how they’re programmed (detailed in previous post) we were tasked with experimenting with reproducing [...]
Electronics Design
Along with designing electronics using software and diagrams as detailed in my previous post we were also tasked with exploring programming [...]
Electronics Production – The Tasks
Initial task We were tasked with creating a simple circuit on a breadboard that used an input, output and a capacitor. We also had to plan t [...]
Electronics Production – The Basics
The differences between electrical and electronic devices: Electrical devices are powered by electricity (e.g. lights, kettle, fridge, toas [...]
