Arduino LCD & Ultrasonic Rangefinder
This is the final week and final task of the XE digital fabrication module. The challenge this week was to build on our Arduino knowledge fr [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
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 OLED
After the failure of the LCD I got another Micro:bit and a 0.98″ 128×64 pixel OLED screen and returned to the suggested task of using [...]
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 [...]
