In this example we’ll be using the Microchip 24LC256 EEPROM, this chip when connected to an Arduino can increase the available memory space by 32kbytes. Here is a pinout of the IC The address pins, A0, A1, and A2, which …

The is a 16-bit, general purpose parallel I/O port expander for I2C bus applications. The 16-bit I/O port functionally consists of two 8-bit ports (PORTA and PORTB). The MCP23017 can be configured to operate in 8-bit or 16-bit modes. Lets …

In a previous example, we did a basic copy of the Arduino capacitance shield but hey outputting to the Serial Monitor is a bit boring, so how about we pick an LCD or LCD shield to try this out with. …

I fancied trying the https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/CapacitanceMeter , to look at the theory visit that page. I was wanting to see how accurate this is and also wanted to test this on other variants such as the Chipkit and the MSP_EXP430G2 to …

When I was browsing various web sites to see what electronic components to buy one day I noticed some interesting little kits comprising of switches, LEDs and a couple of 4 digit seven segment displays saw I decided to purchase …

Sometimes in your projects you simply do not have enough I/O lines available, take for example a lot of the multiple LED examples, these use 8 outputs to control 8 LEDs via your Arduino UNO, that can restrict the amount of …

Its a fairly simple process to connect your Arduino to your PC and write an appilcation to interact with your hardware. You will need the usual Arduino hardware, IDE and in this case an LED connected to the board. For …

In this example we connect an infra red receiver to our Arduino and an RGB led. We will use various button combinations on the remote control to switch on an LED and we will use a button to switch them …
