Loop
We also call this example "Knight Rider" in memory to a TV-series from the 80's where the famous David Hasselhoff had an
AI machine driving his Pontiac. The car had been augmented with plenty of LEDs in all possible sizes performing flashy
effects.
Thus we decided that in order to learn more about sequential programming and good programming techniques for the I/O
board, it would be interesting to use the Knight Rider as a metaphor.
This example makes use of 6 LEDs connected to the pins 2 - 7 on the board using 220 Ohm resistors. The first code example
will make the LEDs blink in a sequence, one by one using only digitalWrite(pinNum,HIGH/LOW) and delay(time). The
second example shows how to use a for(;;) construction to perform the very same thing, but in fewer lines. The third and
last example concentrates in the visual effect of turning the LEDs on/off in a more softer way.

int timer = 100; // The higher the number, the slower the timing.

Smoothing
Reads repeatedly from an analog input, calculating a running average and printing it to the computer. Demonstrates the use
of arrays.
Circuit

Examples > Communication
Graph
A simple example of communication from the Arduino board to the computer: the value of an analog input is printed. We call
this "serial" communication because the connection appears to both the Arduino and the computer as an old-fashioned serial
port, even though it may actually use a USB cable.
You can use the Arduino serial monitor to view the sent data, or it can be read by Processing (see code below), Flash, PD,
Max/MSP, etc.

An analog input connected to analog input pin 0.

![This is all great fun, but who really wants to type out each letter of a message indivually? Enter the printIn() function. Simply
initialize a string, pass it to printIn(), and now we have ourselves a proper hello world program.
#include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD
char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!"
void setup(void){
lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD
digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging
}
void loop(void){
lcd.clear(); //clear the display
delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change
lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD
delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change
} //repeat forever
Finally, you should know there is a lot of functionality in the HD44780 chip interface that is not drawn out into Arduino
functions. If you are feeling ambitious glance over the datasheet and try out some of the direct commands using the
commandWrite() function. For example, commandWrite(2) tells the board to move the cursor back to starting position. Here
is an example:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD
char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!"
void setup(void){
lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD
digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging
}
void loop(void){
lcd.commandWrite(2); //bring the cursor to the starting position
delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change
lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD
delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change
} //repeat forever
This code makes the cursor jump back and forth between the end of the message an the home position.
To interface an LCD directly in Arduino code see this example.

Unipolar Stepper Motor
This page shows two examples on how to drive a unipolar stepper motor. These motors can be found in old floppy drives and
are easy to control. The one we use has 6 connectors of which one is power (VCC) and the other four are used to drive the
motor sending synchronous signals.
The first example is the basic code to make the motor spin in one direction. It is aiming those that have no knowledge in
how to control stepper motors. The second example is coded in a more complex way, but allows to make the motor spin at
different speeds, in both directions, and controlling both from a potentiometer.
The prototyping board has been populated with a 10K potentiomenter that we connect to an analog input, and a ULN2003A
driver. This chip has a bunch of transistors embedded in a single housing. It allows the connection of devices and
components that need much higher current than the ones that the ATMEGA8 from our Arduino board can offer.

References
In order to work out this example, we have been looking into quite a lot of documentation. The following links may be useful
for you to visit in order to understand the theory underlying behind stepper motors:](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/arduino-learning-221212193806-2e468283/85/Arduino-Learning-pdf-74-320.jpg)
![#define WREN 6
#define WRDI 4
#define RDSR 5
#define WRSR 1
#define READ 3
#define WRITE 2
Here we allocate the global variables we will be using later in the program. Note char buffer [128];. this is a 128 byte
array we will be using to store the data for the EEPROM write:
byte eeprom_output_data;
byte eeprom_input_data=0;
byte clr;
int address=0;
//data buffer
char buffer [128];
First we initialize our serial connection, set our input and output pin modes and set the SLAVESELECT line high to start. This
deselects the device and avoids any false transmission messages due to line noise:
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT);
pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT);
pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT);
pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device
Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a different
functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit chooses transmission
with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the fourth bit sets the data clock idle
when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the data clock, and the second and first bits
set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting our control register up we read the SPI status
register (SPSR) and data register (SPDR) in to the junk clr variable to clear out any spurious data from past runs:
// SPCR = 01010000
//interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle,
//sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest)
SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR);
clr=SPSR;
clr=SPDR;
delay(10);
Here we fill our data array with numbers and send a write enable instruction to the EEPROM. The EEPROM MUST be write
enabled before every write instruction. To send the instruction we pull the SLAVESELECT line low, enabling the device, and
then send the instruction using the spi_transfer function. Note that we use the WREN opcode we defined at the beginning of
the program. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release it:
//fill buffer with data
fill_buffer();
//fill eeprom w/ buffer
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);
spi_transfer(WREN); //write enable
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH);
Now we pull the SLAVESELECT line low to select the device again after a brief delay. We send a WRITE instruction to tell the
EEPROM we will be sending data to record into memory. We send the 16 bit address to begin writing at in two bytes, Most
Significant Bit first. Next we send our 128 bytes of data from our buffer array, one byte after another without pause. Finally
we set the SLAVESELECT pin high to release the device and pause to allow the EEPROM to write the data:
delay(10);
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);
spi_transfer(WRITE); //write instruction
address=0;
spi_transfer((char)(address>>8)); //send MSByte address first](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/arduino-learning-221212193806-2e468283/85/Arduino-Learning-pdf-92-320.jpg)
![spi_transfer((char)(address)); //send LSByte address
//write 128 bytes
for (int I=0;I<128;I++)
{
spi_transfer(buffer[I]); //write data byte
}
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip
//wait for eeprom to finish writing
delay(3000);
We end the setup function by sending the word "hi" plus a line feed out the built in serial port for debugging purposes. This
way if our data comes out looking funny later on we can tell it isn't just the serial port acting up:
Serial.print('h',BYTE);
Serial.print('i',BYTE);
Serial.print('n',BYTE);//debug
delay(1000);
}
In our main loop we just read one byte at a time from the EEPROM and print it out the serial port. We add a line feed and a
pause for readability. Each time through the loop we increment the eeprom address to read. When the address increments to
128 we turn it back to 0 because we have only filled 128 addresses in the EEPROM with data:
void loop()
{
eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address);
Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC);
Serial.print('n',BYTE);
address++;
delay(500); //pause for readability
}
The fill_buffer function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function could easily
be changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application:
void fill_buffer()
{
for (int I=0;I<128;I++)
{
buffer[I]=I;
}
}
The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls
a bit to the SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of
bit masks can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to the data register by the EEPROM:
char spi_transfer(volatile char data)
{
SPDR = data; // Start the transmission
while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait for the end of the transmission
{
};
return SPDR; // return the received byte
}
The read_eeprom function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable
the device. Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from, Most Significant Bit
first. Next we send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT
line high again to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data. If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a
time we could hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full
page of data:
byte read_eeprom(int EEPROM_address)
{
//READ EEPROM
int data;
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/arduino-learning-221212193806-2e468283/85/Arduino-Learning-pdf-93-320.jpg)
![spi_transfer(READ); //transmit read opcode
spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address>>8)); //send MSByte address first
spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address)); //send LSByte address
data = spi_transfer(0xFF); //get data byte
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip, signal end transfer
return data;

![Like sample 2.2, sample 2.3 also takes advantage of the new blinkAll_2bytes() function. 2.3's big difference from sample 1.3
is only that instead of just a single variable called “data” and a single array called “dataArray” you have to have a dataRED,
a dataGREEN, dataArrayRED, dataArrayGREEN defined up front. This means that line
data = dataArray[j];
becomes
dataRED = dataArrayRED[j];
dataGREEN = dataArrayGREEN[j];
and
shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, data);
becomes

Memory
There are three pools of memory in the microcontroller used on Arduino boards (ATmega168):
Flash memory (program space), is where the Arduino sketch is stored.
SRAM (static random access memory) is where the sketch creates and manipulates variables when it runs.
EEPROM is memory space that programmers can use to store long-term information.
Flash memory and EEPROM memory are non-volatile (the information persists after the power is turned off). SRAM is volatile
and will be lost when the power is cycled.
The ATmega168 chip has the following amounts of memory:
Flash 16k bytes (of which 2k is used for the bootloader)
SRAM 1024 bytes
EEPROM 512 bytes
Notice that there's not much SRAM available. It's easy to use it all up by having lots of strings in your program. For example,
a declaration like:
char message[] = "I support the Cape Wind project.";
puts 32 bytes into SRAM (each character takes a byte). This might not seem like a lot, but it doesn't take long to get to
1024, especially if you have a large amount of text to send to a display, or a large lookup table, for example.
If you run out of SRAM, your program may fail in unexpected ways; it will appear to upload successfully, but not run, or run
strangely. To check if this is happening, you can try commenting out or shortening the strings or other data structures in
your sketch (without changing the code). If it then runs successfully, you're probably running out of SRAM. There are a few
things you can do to address this problem:
If your sketch talks to a program running on a (desktop/laptop) computer, you can try shifting data or calculations to
the computer, reducing the load on the Arduino.
If you have lookup tables or other large arrays, use the smallest data type necessary to store the values you need;
for example, an int takes up two bytes, while a byte uses only one (but can store a smaller range of values).
If you don't need to modify the strings or data while your sketch is running, you can store them in flash (program)
memory instead of SRAM; to do this, use the PROGMEM keyword.
To use the EEPROM, see the EEPROM library.

Variables
A variable is a place to store a piece of data. It has a name, a value, and a type. For example, this statement (called a
declaration):
int pin = 13;
creates a variable whose name is pin, whose value is 13, and whose type is int. Later on in the program, you can refer to
this variable by its name, at which point its value will be looked up and used. For example, in this statement:
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
it is the value of pin (13) that will be passed to the pinMode() function. In this case, you don't actually need to use a
variable, this statement would work just as well:
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
The advantage of a variable in this case is that you only need to specify the actual number of the pin once, but you can use
it lots of times. So if you later decide to change from pin 13 to pin 12, you only need to change one spot in the code. Also,
you can use a descriptive name to make the significance of the variable clear (e.g. a program controlling an RGB LED might
have variables called redPin, greenPin, and bluePin).
A variable has other advantages over a value like a number. Most importantly, you can change the value of a variable using
an assignment (indicated by an equals sign). For example:
pin = 12;
will change the value of the variable to 12. Notice that we don't specify the type of the variable: it's not changed by the
assignment. That is, the name of the variable is permanently associated with a type; only its value changes. [1] Note that
you have to declare a variable before you can assign a value to it. If you include the preceding statement in a program
without the first statement above, you'll get a message like: "error: pin was not declared in this scope".
When you assign one variable to another, you're making a copy of its value and storing that copy in the location in memory
associated with the other variable. Changing one has no effect on the other. For example, after:
int pin = 13;
int pin2 = pin;
pin = 12;
only pin has the value 12; pin2 is still 13.
Now what, you might be wondering, did the word "scope" in that error message above mean? It refers to the part of your
program in which the variable can be used. This is determined by where you declare it. For example, if you want to be able
to use a variable anywhere in your program, you can declare at the top of your code. This is called a global variable; here's
an example:
int pin = 13;
void setup()
{
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);

![As you can see, pin is used in both the setup() and loop() functions. Both functions are referring to the same variable, so
that changing it one will affect the value it has in the other, as in:
int pin = 13;
void setup()
{
pin = 12;
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
}
Here, the digitalWrite() function called from loop() will be passed a value of 12, since that's the value that was assigned to
the variable in the setup() function.
If you only need to use a variable in a single function, you can declare it there, in which case its scope will be limited to that
function. For example:
void setup()
{
int pin = 13;
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(pin, HIGH);
}
In this case, the variable pin can only be used inside the setup() function. If you try to do something like this:
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(pin, LOW); // wrong: pin is not in scope here.
}
you'll get the same message as before: "error: 'pin' was not declared in this scope". That is, even though you've declared pin
somewhere in your program, you're trying to use it somewhere outside its scope.
Why, you might be wondering, wouldn't you make all your variables global? After all, if I don't know where I might need a
variable, why should I limit its scope to just one function? The answer is that it can make it easier to figure out what
happens to it. If a variable is global, its value could be changed anywhere in the code, meaning that you need to understand
the whole program to know what will happen to the variable. For example, if your variable has a value you didn't expect, it
can be much easier to figure out where the value came from if the variable has a limited scope.
[block scope] [size of variables]
[1] In some languages, like Python, types are associated with values, not variable names, and you can assign values of any
type to a variable. This is referred to as dynamic typing.

Loop
We also call this example "Knight Rider" in memory to a TV-series from the 80's where the famous David
Hasselhoff had an AI machine driving his Pontiac. The car had been augmented with plenty of LEDs in all possible
sizes performing flashy effects.
Thus we decided that in order to learn more about sequential programming and good programming techniques for
the I/O board, it would be interesting to use the Knight Rider as a metaphor.
This example makes use of 6 LEDs connected to the pins 2 - 7 on the board using 220 Ohm resistors. The first
code example will make the LEDs blink in a sequence, one by one using only digitalWrite(pinNum,HIGH/LOW)
and delay(time). The second example shows how to use a for(;;) construction to perform the very same thing,
but in fewer lines. The third and last example concentrates in the visual effect of turning the LEDs on/off in a more
softer way.

Representing the Knock in Processing
If, e.g. we would like to capture this "knock" from the Arduino board, we have to look into how the information is transferred
from the board over the serial port. First we see that whenever there is a knock bigger that the threshold, the program is
printing (thus sending) "Knock!" over the serial port. Directly after sends the byte 10, what stands for EOLN or End Of LiNe,
and byte 13, or CR - Carriage Return. Those two symbols will be useful to determine when the message sent by the board is
over. Once that happens, the processing program will toggle the background color of the screen and print out "Knock!" in the
command line.

Knock Sensor
Here we use a Piezo element to detect sound, what will allow us to use it as a knock sensor. We are taking advantage of the
processors capability to read analog signals through its ADC - analog to digital converter. These converters read a voltage
value and transform it into a value encoded digitally. In the case of the Arduino boards, we transform the voltage into a value
in the range 0..1024. 0 represents 0volts, while 1024 represents 5volts at the input of one of the six analog pins.
A Piezo is nothing but an electronic device that can both be used to play tones and to detect tones. In our example we are
plugging the Piezo on the analog input pin number 0, that supports the functionality of reading a value between 0 and 5volts,
and not just a plain HIGH or LOW.
The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires
indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the input. We also have to
connect a resistor in the range of the Megaohms in parallel to the Piezo element; in the example we have plugged it directly
in the female connectors. Sometimes it is possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look
like a metallic disc and are easier to use as input sensors.
The code example will capture the knock and if it is stronger than a certain threshold, it will send the string "Knock!" back to
the computer over the serial port. In order to see this text you could either use a terminal program, which will read data
from the serial port and show it in a window, or make your own program in e.g. Processing. Later in this article we propose a

How this works
As you know from the Interfacing a Joystick tutorial, the joystick gives a coordinate (x,y) back to arduino. As you can see
looking to the joystick is that the space in which he moves is a circle. This circle will be from now on our 'Pie' (see bottom
right of the first image).
The only thing we need now to understand is that we have divided our Pie in 8 pieces. To each piece will correspond an LED.
(See figure below). This way, when the joystick gives us a coordinate, it will necesarilly belong to one of the pies. Then, the
program always lights up the LED corresponding to the pie in which the joystick is.

/* Controle_LEDcirle_with_joystik
* ------------
* This program controles a cirle of 8 LEDs through a joystick
*
* First it reads two analog pins that are connected

*
* This input is interpreted as a coordinate (x,y)
*
* The program then calculates to which of the 8
* possible zones belogns the coordinate (x,y)
*
* Finally it ligths up the LED which is placed in the

Espresso-cup Color Mixer:
Code for mixing and reporting PWM-mediated color
Assumes Arduino 0004 or higher, as it uses Serial.begin()-style communication
Control 3 LEDs with 3 potentiometers
If the LEDs are different colors, and are behind a diffusing surface (anything
from a Ping-Pong ball to a coffee cup with a white plastic lid), the colors
will mix together.
When you mix a color you like, stop adjusting the pots.
The mix values that create that color will be reported via serial out.
Standard colors for light mixing are Red, Green, and Blue, though you can mix
with any three colors; Red + Blue + White would let you mix shades of red,
blue, and purple (though no yellow, orange, green, or blue-green.)
Put 220 Ohm resistors in line with pots, to prevent circuit from
grounding out when the pots are at zero

* NOTES
* The program purports to hold a tone for 'duration' microseconds.
* Lies lies lies! It holds for at least 'duration' microseconds, _plus_
* any overhead created by incremeting elapsed_time (could be in excess of
* 3K microseconds) _plus_ overhead of looping and two digitalWrites()
*
* As a result, a tone of 'duration' plays much more slowly than a rest
* of 'duration.' rest_count creates a loop variable to bring 'rest' beats
* in line with 'tone' beats of the same length.
*
* rest_count will be affected by chip architecture and speed, as well as
* overhead from any program mods. Past behavior is no guarantee of future
* performance. Your mileage may vary. Light fuse and get away.
*
* This could use a number of enhancements:
* ADD code to let the programmer specify how many times the melody should
* loop before stopping
* ADD another octave
* MOVE tempo, pause, and rest_count to #define statements
* RE-WRITE to include volume, using analogWrite, as with the second program at
* http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/PlayMelody
* ADD code to make the tempo settable by pot or other input device
* ADD code to take tempo or volume settable by serial communication
* (Requires 0005 or higher.)
* ADD code to create a tone offset (higer or lower) through pot etc
* REPLACE random melody with opening bars to 'Smoke on the Water'

The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires
indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the output. Sometimes it is
possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look like a metallic disc.

LCD Display - 8 bits
This example shows the most basic action to be done with a LCD display: to show a welcome message. In our case we have
an LCD display with backlight and contrast control. Therefore we will use a potentiometer to regulate the contrast.
LCD displays are most of the times driven using an industrial standard established by Hitachi. According to it there is a group
of pins dedicated to sending data and locations of that data on the screen, the user can choose to use 4 or 8 pins to send
data. On top of that three more pins are needed to synchronize the communication towards the display.
The backdrop of this example is that we are using almost all the available pins on Arduino board in order to drive the display,
but we have decided to show it this way for simplicity.

print characters and strings, to clear the screen, and to send commands directly to the HD44780 chip. This tutorial will walk
you through the steps of wiring an LCD to an Arduino microcontroller board and implementing each of these functions.
Materials needed:
* Solderless breadboard
* Hookup wire
* Arduino Microcontoller Module
* Potentiometer
* Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with HD44780 chip interface
* Light emitting Diode (LED) - optional, for debugging
Prepare the breadboard
Solder a header to the LCD board if one is not present already.
Insert the LCD header into the breadboard and connect power and ground on the breadboard to power and ground from the
microcontroller. On the Arduino module, use the 5V and any of the ground connections:
Connect wires from the breadboard to the arduino input sockets. Look at the datasheet for your LCD board to figure out
which pins are where. The pinout is as follows: Arduino LCD 2 Enable 3 Data Bit 0 (DB0) 4 (DB1) 5 (DB2) 6 (DB3) 7 (DB4)
8 (DB5) 9 (DB6) 10 (DB7) 11 Read/Write (RW) 12 Register Select (RS)
Connect a potentiometer a a voltage divider between 5V, Ground, and the contrast adjustment pin on your LCD.
Additionally you may want to connect an LED for debugging purposes between pin 13 and Ground. Program the Arduino](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/arduino-learning-221212193806-2e468283/85/Arduino-Learning-pdf-389-320.jpg)
![First start by opening a new sketch in Arduino and saving it. Now go to the Sketch menu, scroll down to Òimport libraryÓ,
and choose ÒLiquidCrystalÓ. The phrase #include should pop up at the top of your sketch.
The first program we are going to try is simply for calibration and debugging. Copy the following code into your sketch,
compile and upload to the Arduino.
1. include
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void loop(void){ delay(1000); } }
If all went as planned both the LCD and the LED should turn on. Now you can use the potentiometer to adjust the contrast
on the LCD until you can clearly see a cursor at the beginning of the first line.
Now letÕs try something a little more interesting. Compile and upload the following code to the Arduino.
1. include
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void loop(void){ lcd.clear();
delay(1000); lcd.print('a'); lcd.print('b'); lcd.print('c'); delay(1000); } }
This time you should see the letters a b and c appear and clear from the display in an endless loop.
This is all great fun, but who really wants to type out each letter of a message indivually? Enter the printIn() function. Simply
initialize a string, pass it to printIn(), and now we have ourselves a proper hello world program.
1. include
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); char string1[] = "Hello!"; void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void
loop(void){ lcd.clear(); delay(1000); lcd.printIn(string1); delay(1000); } }
Finally, you should know there is a lot of functionality in the HD44780 chip interface that is not drawn out into Arduino
functions. If you are feeling ambitious glance over the datasheet and try out some of the direct commands using the
commandWrite() function. For example, commandWrite(2) tells the board to move the cursor back to starting position.
1. include
LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); char string1[] = "Hello!"; void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void
loop(void){ lcd.commandWrite(2); delay(1000); lcd.printIn(string1); delay(1000); } }
Using this code makes the cursorjump back and forth between the end of the message an the home position.

![Unipolar Stepper Motor
This page shows two examples on how to drive a bipolar stepper motor. These motors can be found in old floppy drives and
are easy to control. The one we use has 6 connectors of which one is power (VCC) and the other four are used to drive the
motor sending synchronous signals.
The first example is the basic code to make the motor spin in one direction. It is aiming those that have no knowledge in
how to control stepper motors. The second example is coded in a more complex way, but allows to make the motor spin at
different speeds, in both directions, and controlling both from a potentiometer.
The prototyping board has been populated with a 10K potentiomenter that we connect to an analog input, and a ULN2003A
driver. This chip has a bunch of transistors embedded in a single housing. It allows the connection of devices and
components that need much higher current than the ones that the ATMEGA8 from our Arduino board can offer.

This function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function could easily be
changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application.

This function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls a bit to the
SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of bit masks
can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to the data register by the EEPROM.

This function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable the device.
Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from, Most Significant Bit first. Next we
send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again
to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data. If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a time we could
hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full page of data.

This function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function could easily be
changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application.

This function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls a bit to the
SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to
the data register by the EEPROM.
The following setup function is long so we will take it in parts.
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT);
pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT);
pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT);
pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device
First we initialize our serial connection, set our input and output pin modes and set the SLAVESELECT line high to start. This
deselects the device and avoids any false transmission messages due to line noise.
// SPCR = 01010000
//interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle,
//sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest)
SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR);
clr=SPSR;
clr=SPDR;
delay(10);
Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a different
functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit chooses transmission
with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the fourth bit sets the data clock idle
when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the data clock, and the second and first bits
set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting our control register up we clear any spurious data
from the Status and Control registers.
//fill buffer with data
fill_buffer();
//fill eeprom w/ buffer
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);
spi_transfer(WREN); //write enable
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH);
Here we fill our data array with numbers and send a write enable instruction to the EEPROM. The EEPROM MUST be write
enabled before every write instruction. To send the instruction we pull the SLAVESELECT line low, enabling the device, and](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/arduino-learning-221212193806-2e468283/85/Arduino-Learning-pdf-480-320.jpg)
![then send the instruction using the spi_transfer function. Note that we use the WREN opcode we defined at the beginning of
the program. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release it.

{
spi_transfer(buffer[I]); //write data byte
}
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip
//wait for eeprom to finish writing
delay(3000);
Now we pull the SLAVESELECT line low to select the device again after a brief delay. We send a WRITE instruction to tell the
EEPROM we will be sending data to record into memory. We send the 16 bit address to begin writing at in two bytes, Most
Significant Bit first. Next we send our 128 bytes of data from our buffer array, one byte after another without pause. Finally
we set the SLAVESELECT pin high to release the device and pause to allow the EEPROM to write the data.
Serial.print('h',BYTE);
Serial.print('i',BYTE);
Serial.print('n',BYTE);//debug
delay(1000);
We end the setup function by sending the word "hi" plus a line feed out the built in serial port for debugging purposes. This
way if our data comes out looking funny later on we can tell it isn't just the serial port acting up.
byte read_eeprom(int EEPROM_address)
{
//READ EEPROM
int data;
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);
spi_transfer(READ); //transmit read opcode
spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address>>8)); //send MSByte address first
spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address)); //send LSByte address
data = spi_transfer(0xFF); //get data byte
digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip, signal end transfer
return data;
}
This function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable the device.
Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from, Most Significant Bit first. Next we
send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again
to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data. If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a time we could
hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full page of data.

{
eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address);
Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC);
Serial.print('n',BYTE);
address++;
delay(500); //pause for readability
}
Finally we get to our main loop, the simplest function in the program! Here we just read one byte at a time from the
EEPROM and print it out the serial port plus a line feed and a pause for readability. Each time through the loop we increment
the eeprom address to read. When the address increments to 128 we turn it back to 0 since we have only filled 128
addresses in the EEPROM with data.

Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a
different functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit
chooses transmission with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the
fourth bit sets the data clock idle when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the
data clock, and the second and first bits set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting
our control register up we read the SPI status register (SPSR) and data register (SPDR) in to the junk clr variable
to clear out any spurious data from past runs:
// SPCR = 01010000
//interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle,
//sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest)
SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR);

Here we fill our data array with numbers and send a write enable instruction to the EEPROM. The EEPROM MUST

address increments to 128 we turn it back to 0 because we have only filled 128 addresses in the EEPROM with
data:
void loop()
{
eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address);
Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC);
Serial.print('n',BYTE);
address++;
delay(500); //pause for readability
}
The fill_buffer function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function
could easily be changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application:
void fill_buffer()
{
for (int I=0;I<128;I++)
{
buffer[I]=I;
}
}
The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI
transmission. It polls a bit to the SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a
bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of bit masks can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to
the data register by the EEPROM:
char spi_transfer(volatile char data)
{
SPDR = data; // Start the transmission
while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait for the end of the transmission
{
};
return SPDR; // return the received byte
}
The read_eeprom function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low
to enable the device. Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from,
Most Significant Bit first. Next we send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out.
Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data.
If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a time we could hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the
data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full page of data:
byte read_eeprom(int EEPROM_address)

The write_pot function allows us to control the individual potentiometers. First we shift the potentiometer address 8 bits to
the left to put it in the most significant bit position of the 11 bit data byte. This makes room to add the resistance value
which occupies the least significant eight bits of the data byte. When we sum the two together we get our 11 bit opcode to

Code Sample 2.2 – 2 Byte One By One
Comparing this code to the similar code from Example 1 you see that a little bit more has had to change. The blinkAll()
function has been changed to the blinkAll_2Bytes() function to reflect the fact that now there are 16 LEDs to control. Also, in
version 1 the pulsings of the latchPin were situated inside the subfunctions lightShiftPinA and lightShiftPinB(). Here they need
to be moved back into the main loop to accommodate needing to run each subfunction twice in a row, once for the green
LEDs and once for the red ones.
Code Sample 2.3 - Dual Defined Arrays 2.3 also takes advantage of the new blinkAll_2bytes() function. Its big difference
from 1.3 is only that instead of just a single variable called “data” and a single array called “dataArray” you have to have a
dataRED, a dataGREEN, dataArrayRED, dataArrayGREEN defined up front. This means that later on line
data = dataArray[j];
becomes
dataRED = dataArrayRED[j];
dataGREEN = dataArrayGREEN[j];

Example 2
The Circuit
1. Add a second shift register.
Starting from the previous example, you should put a second shift register on the board. It should have the same leads to
power and ground.
2. Connect the 2 registers.
Two of these connections simply extend the same clock and latch signal from the Arduino to the second shift register (yellow
and green wires). The blue wire is going from the serial out pin (pin 9) of the first shift register to the serial data input (pin
14) of the second register.
3. Add a second set of LEDs.
In this case I added green ones so when reading the code it is clear which byte is going to which set of LEDs
The Code
Here again are three code samples. If you are curious, you might want to try the samples from the first example with this
circuit set up just to see what happens.

EEPROM Write
Stores values read from analog input 0 into the EEPROM. These values will stay in the EEPROM when the board is turned off
and may be retrieved later by another sketch.

#include <EEPROM.h>
// the current address in the EEPROM (i.e. which byte
// we're going to write to next)
int addr = 0;
void setup()

}
void loop()

// 0 to 1023 and each byte of the EEPROM can only hold a
// value from 0 to 255.
int val = analogRead(0) / 4;
// write the value to the appropriate byte of the EEPROM.
// these values will remain there when the board is

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Digital I/O Blink In most programming languages, the first program you write prints "hello world" to the screen. Since an Arduino board doesn't have a screen, we blink an LED instead. The boards are designed to make it easy to blink an LED using digital pin 13. Some (like the Diecimila and LilyPad) have the LED built-in to the board. On most others (like the Mini and BT), there is a 1 KB resistor on the pin, allowing you to connect an LED directly. (To connect an LED to another digital pin, you should use an external resistor.) LEDs have polarity, which means they will only light up if you orient the legs properly. The long leg is typically positive, and should connect to pin 13. The short leg connects to GND; the bulb of the LED will also typically have a flat edge on this side. If the LED doesn't light up, trying reversing the legs (you won't hurt the LED if you plug it in backwards for a short period of time). Circuit Code The example code is very simple, credits are to be found in the comments. /* Blinking LED * ------------ * * turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to a digital * pin, in intervals of 2 seconds.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Digital I/O Blink Without Delay Sometimes you need to blink an LED (or some other time sensitive function) at the same time as something else (like watching for a button press). That means you can't use delay(), or you'd stop everything else the program while the LED blinked. Here's some code that demonstrates how to blink the LED without using delay(). It keeps track of the last time it turned the LED on or off. Then, each time through loop() it checks if a sufficient interval has passed - if it has, it turns the LED off if it was on and vice-versa. Code int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 int value = LOW; // previous value of the LED long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time LED was updated long interval = 1000; // interval at which to blink (milliseconds) void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output } void loop() { // here is where you'd put code that needs to be running all the time. // check to see if it's time to blink the LED; that is, is the difference // between the current time and last time we blinked the LED bigger than // the interval at which we want to blink the LED. if (millis() - previousMillis > interval) { previousMillis = millis(); // remember the last time we blinked the LED // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa. if (value == LOW) value = HIGH; else value = LOW; digitalWrite(ledPin, value); } } Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes search
- 11. Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Digital I/O Button The pushbutton is a component that connects two points in a circuit when you press it. The example turns on an LED when you press the button. We connect three wires to the Arduino board. The first goes from one leg of the pushbutton through a pull-up resistor (here 2.2 KOhms) to the 5 volt supply. The second goes from the corresponding leg of the pushbutton to ground. The third connects to a digital i/o pin (here pin 7) which reads the button's state. When the pushbutton is open (unpressed) there is no connection between the two legs of the pushbutton, so the pin is connected to 5 volts (through the pull-up resistor) and we read a HIGH. When the button is closed (pressed), it makes a connection between its two legs, connecting the pin to ground, so that we read a LOW. (The pin is still connected to 5 volts, but the resistor in-between them means that the pin is "closer" to ground.) You can also wire this circuit the opposite way, with a pull-down resistor keeping the input LOW, and going HIGH when the button is pressed. If so, the behavior of the sketch will be reversed, with the LED normally on and turning off when you press the button. If you disconnect the digital i/o pin from everything, the LED may blink erratically. This is because the input is "floating" - that is, it will more-or-less randomly return either HIGH or LOW. That's why you need a pull-up or pull-down resister in the circuit. Circuit Code int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED int inPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for a pushbutton) int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output search

The car had been augmented with plenty of LEDs in all possible sizes performing flashy effects. Thus we decided that in order to learn more about sequential programming and good programming techniques for the I/O board, it would be interesting to use the Knight Rider as a metaphor. This example makes use of 6 LEDs connected to the pins 2 - 7 on the board using 220 Ohm resistors. The first code example will make the LEDs blink in a sequence, one by one using only digitalWrite(pinNum,HIGH/LOW) and delay(time).

In this example, that value controls the rate at which an LED blinks. We connect three wires to the Arduino board. The first goes to ground from one of the outer pins of the potentiometer. The second goes from 5 volts to the other outer pin of the potentiometer. The third goes from analog input 2 to the middle pin of the potentiometer. By turning the shaft of the potentiometer, we change the amount of resistence on either side of the wiper which is connected to the center pin of the potentiometer. This changes the relative "closeness" of that pin to 5 volts and ground, giving us a different analog input. When the shaft is turned all the way in one direction, there are 0 volts going to the pin, and we read 0. When the shaft is turned all the way in the other direction, there are 5 volts going to the pin and we read 1023. In between, analogRead() returns a number between 0 and 1023 that is proportional to the amount of voltage being applied to the pin.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Analog I/O Knock Here we use a Piezo element to detect sound, what will allow us to use it as a knock sensor. We are taking advantage of the processors capability to read analog signals through its ADC - analog to digital converter. These converters read a voltage value and transform it into a value encoded digitally. In the case of the Arduino boards, we transform the voltage into a value in the range 0..1024. 0 represents 0volts, while 1024 represents 5volts at the input of one of the six analog pins. A Piezo is nothing but an electronic device that can both be used to play tones and to detect tones. In our example we are plugging the Piezo on the analog input pin number 0, that supports the functionality of reading a value between 0 and 5volts, and not just a plain HIGH or LOW. The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the input. We also have to connect a resistor in the range of the Megaohms in parallel to the Piezo element; in the example we have plugged it directly in the female connectors. Sometimes it is possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look like a metallic disc and are easier to use as input sensors. The code example will capture the knock and if it is stronger than a certain threshold, it will send the string "Knock!" back to the computer over the serial port. In order to see this text you can use the Arduino serial monitor.

They are accessible from software by using the digitalWrite() function, when the pin is set to an input. This sketch exploits the pullup resistors under software control. The idea is that an external 200K resistor to ground will cause an input pin to report LOW when the internal (20K) pullup resistor is turned off. When the internal pullup resistor is turned on however, it will overwhelm the external 200K resistor and the pin will report HIGH. One downside of the scheme (there always has to be a downside doesn't there?) is that one can't tell if both buttons are pushed at the same time. In this case the scheme just reports that sw2 is pushed. The job of the 10K series resistor, incidentally, is to prevent a short circuit if a pesky user pushes both buttons at once.

However it is only the equivalent to a pushbutton activated through a different physical mechanism. This type of sensor is the environmental-friendly version of a mercury- switch. It contains a metallic ball inside that will commute the two pins of the device from on to off and viceversa if the sensor reaches a certain angle. The code example is exactly as the one we would use for a pushbutton but substituting this one with the tilt sensor. We use a pull-up resistor (thus use active-low to activate the pins) and connect the sensor to a digital input pin that we will read when needed. The prototyping board has been populated with a 1K resitor to make the pull-up and the sensor itself. We have chosen the tilt sensor from Assemtech, which datasheet can be found here. The hardware was mounted and photographed by Anders Gran, the software comes from the basic Arduino examples. Circuit Picture of a protoboard supporting the tilt sensor, by Anders Gran Code Use the Digital > Button example to read the tilt-sensor, but you'll need to make sure that the inputPin variable in the code matches the digital pin you're using on the Arduino board.

When making very accurate measurements, the sensor counts with a temperature pin that can be used to compensate possible errors. The pins dedicated to measure acceleration can be connected directly to digital inputs to the Arduino board, while the the temperature should be taken as an analog input. The acceleration pins send the signals back to the computer in the form of pulses which width represents the acceleration. The example shown here was mounted by Anders Gran, while the software was created by Marcos Yarza, who is Arduino's accelerometer technology researcher, at the University of Zaragoza, Spain. The board is connected minimally, only the two axis pins are plugged to the board, leaving the temperature pin open.

We are taking advantage of the processors capability to produde PWM signals in order to play music. There is more information about how PWM works written by David Cuartielles here and even at K3's old course guide A Piezo is nothing but an electronic device that can both be used to play tones and to detect tones. In our example we are plugging the Piezo on the pin number 9, that supports the functionality of writing a PWM signal to it, and not just a plain HIGH or LOW value. The first example of the code will just send a square wave to the piezo, while the second one will make use of the PWM functionality to control the volume through changing the Pulse Width. The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the output. Sometimes it is possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look like a metallic disc.

In our case we have an LCD display with backlight and contrast control. Therefore we will use a potentiometer to regulate the contrast. LCD displays are most of the times driven using an industrial standard established by Hitachi. According to it there is a group of pins dedicated to sending data and locations of that data on the screen, the user can choose to use 4 or 8 pins to send data. On top of that three more pins are needed to synchronize the communication towards the display. The backdrop of this example is that we are using almost all the available pins on Arduino board in order to drive the display, but we have decided to show it this way for simplicity. Picture of a protoboard supporting the display and a potentiometer /* LCD Hola * -------- * * This is the first example in how to use an LCD screen * configured with data transfers over 8 bits.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Arduino Liquid Crystal Library LCD Interface In this tutorial you will control a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) using the Arduino LiquidCrystal library. The library provides functions for accessing any LCD using the common HD44780 parallel interface chipset, such as those available from Sparkfun. It currently implements 8-bit control and one line display of 5x7 characters. Functions are provided to initialize the screen, to print characters and strings, to clear the screen, and to send commands directly to the HD44780 chip. This tutorial will walk you through the steps of wiring an LCD to an Arduino microcontroller board and implementing each of these functions. Materials needed: Solderless breadboard Hookup wire Arduino Microcontoller Module Potentiometer Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with HD44780 chip interface Light emitting Diode (LED) - optional, for debugging Install the Library For a basic explanation of how libraries work in Arduino read the library page. Download the LiquidCrystal library here. Unzip the files and place the whole LiquidCrystal folder inside your arduino-0004libtargetslibraries folder. Start the Arduino program and check to make sure LiquidCrystal is now available as an option in the Sketch menu under "Import Library". Prepare the breadboard Solder a header to the LCD board if one is not present already. Insert the LCD header into the breadboard and connect power and ground on the breadboard to power and ground from the microcontroller. On the Arduino module, use the 5V and any of the ground connections. search
- 68. Connect wires from the breadboard to the arduino input sockets. It is a lot of wires, so keep them as short and tidy as possible. Look at the datasheet for your LCD board to figure out which pins are where. Make sure to take note of whether the pin view is from the front or back side of the LCD board, you don't want to get your pins reversed! The pinout is as follows: Arduino LCD 2 Enable 3 Data Bit 0 (DB0) 4 (DB1) 5 (DB2) 6 (DB3) 7 (DB4) 8 (DB5) 9 (DB6) 10 (DB7) 11 Read/Write (RW) 12 Register Select (RS) Connect a potentiometer a a voltage divider between 5V, Ground, and the contrast adjustment pin on your LCD.
- 69. Additionally you may want to connect an LED for debugging purposes between pin 13 and Ground. Program the Arduino First start by opening a new sketch in Arduino and saving it. Now go to the Sketch menu, scroll down to "import library", and choose "LiquidCrystal". The phrase #include <LiquidCrystal.h> should pop up at the top of your sketch. The first program we are going to try is simply for calibration and debugging. Copy the following code into your sketch, compile and upload to the Arduino. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ delay(1000); //repeat forever } If all went as planned both the LCD and the LED should turn on. Now you can use the potentiometer to adjust the contrast on the LCD until you can clearly see a cursor at the beginning of the first line. If you turn the potentiometer too far in one direction black blocks will appear. Too far in the other direction everything will fade from the display. There should be a small spot in the middle where the cursor appears crisp and dark.
- 70. Now let's try something a little more interesting. Compile and upload the following code to the Arduino. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); //clear the display delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.print('a'); //send individual letters to the LCD lcd.print('b'); lcd.print('c'); delay(1000);//delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever This time you should see the letters a b and c appear and clear from the display in an endless loop.
- 71. This is all great fun, but who really wants to type out each letter of a message indivually? Enter the printIn() function. Simply initialize a string, pass it to printIn(), and now we have ourselves a proper hello world program. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!" void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); //clear the display delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever Finally, you should know there is a lot of functionality in the HD44780 chip interface that is not drawn out into Arduino functions. If you are feeling ambitious glance over the datasheet and try out some of the direct commands using the commandWrite() function. For example, commandWrite(2) tells the board to move the cursor back to starting position. Here is an example: #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!" void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.commandWrite(2); //bring the cursor to the starting position delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever This code makes the cursor jump back and forth between the end of the message an the home position.

These motors can be found in old floppy drives and are easy to control. The one we use has 6 connectors of which one is power (VCC) and the other four are used to drive the motor sending synchronous signals. The first example is the basic code to make the motor spin in one direction. It is aiming those that have no knowledge in how to control stepper motors. The second example is coded in a more complex way, but allows to make the motor spin at different speeds, in both directions, and controlling both from a potentiometer. The prototyping board has been populated with a 10K potentiomenter that we connect to an analog input, and a ULN2003A driver. This chip has a bunch of transistors embedded in a single housing. It allows the connection of devices and components that need much higher current than the ones that the ATMEGA8 from our Arduino board can offer.

Read on if you'd like to know how that library works. In this tutorial you will learn how to implement Asynchronous serial communication on the Arduino in software to communicate with other serial devices. Using software serial allows you to create a serial connection on any of the digital i/o pins on the Arduino. This should be used when multiple serial connections are necessary. If only one serial connection is necessary the hardware serial port should be used. This is a general purpose software tutorial, NOT a specific device tutorial. A tutorial on communicating with a computer is here. Device specific tutorials are on the Tutorial Page. For a good explanation of serial communication see Wikipedia. The software serial connection can run at 4800 baud or 9600 baud reliably. Functions Available: SWread(); Returns a byte long integer value from the software serial connection Example: byte RXval; RXval = SWread(); SWprint(); Sends a byte long integer value out the software serial connection Example: byte TXval = 'h'; byte TXval2 = 126; SWprint(TXval); SWprint(TXval2); Definitions Needed: #define bit9600Delay 84 #define halfBit9600Delay 42 #define bit4800Delay 188 #define halfBit4800Delay 94 These definitions set the delays necessary for 9600 baud and 4800 baud software serial operation. Materials needed: Device to communicate with Solderless breadboard Hookup wire Arduino Microcontroller Module Light emitting Diode (LED) - optional, for debugging Prepare the breadboard Insert the device you want to communicate with in the breadboard. Connect ground on the breadboard to ground from the microcontroller. If your device uses 5v power connect 5v from the microcontoller to 5v on the breadboard. Otherwise connect power and ground from an alternate power source to the breadboard in the same fashion. Make any other connections necessary for your device. Additionally you may want to connect an LED for debugging purposes between pin 13 and Ground. search
- 78. Decide which pins you want to use for transmitting and receiving. In this example we will use pin 7 for transmitting and pin 6 for receiving, but any of the digital pins should work. Program the Arduino Now we will write the code to enable serial data communication. This program will simply wait for a character to arrive in the serial recieving port and then spit it back out in uppercase out the transmit port. This is a good general purpose serial debugging program and you should be able to extrapolate from this example to cover all your basic serial needs. We will walk through the code in small sections. #include <ctype.h> #define bit9600Delay 84 #define halfBit9600Delay 42 #define bit4800Delay 188 #define halfBit4800Delay 94 Here we set up our pre-processor directives. Pre-processor directives are processed before the actual compilation begins. They start with a "#" and do not end with semi-colons. First we include the file ctype.h in our application. This gives us access to the toupper() function from the Character Operations C library which we will use later in our main loop. This library is part of the Arduino install, so you don't need to do anything other than type the #include line in order to use it. Next we establish our baudrate delay definitions. These are pre-processor directives that define the delays for different baudrates. The #define bit9600Delay 84 line causes the
- 79. compiler to substitute the number 84 where ever it encounters the label "bit9600Delay". Pre-processor definitions are often used for constants because they don't take up any program memory space on the chip. byte rx = 6; byte tx = 7; byte SWval; Here we set our transmit (tx) and recieve (rx) pins. Change the pin numbers to suit your application. We also allocate a variable to store our recieved data in, SWval. void setup() { pinMode(rx,INPUT); pinMode(tx,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(tx,HIGH); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on debugging LED SWprint('h'); //debugging hello SWprint('i'); SWprint(10); //carriage return } Here we initialize the lines, turn on our debugging LED and print a debugging message to confirm all is working as planned. We can pass inidvidual characters or numbers to the SWprint function. void SWprint(int data) { byte mask; //startbit digitalWrite(tx,LOW); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); for (mask = 0x01; mask>0; mask <<= 1) { if (data & mask){ // choose bit digitalWrite(tx,HIGH); // send 1 } else{ digitalWrite(tx,LOW); // send 0 } delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); } //stop bit digitalWrite(tx, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); } This is the SWprint function. First the transmit line is pulled low to signal a start bit. Then we itterate through a bit mask and flip the output pin high or low 8 times for the 8 bits in the value to be transmitted. Finally we pull the line high again to signal a stop bit. For each bit we transmit we hold the line high or low for the specified delay. In this example we are using a 9600 baudrate. To use 4800 simply replace the variable bit9600Delay with bit4800Delay. int SWread() { byte val = 0; while (digitalRead(rx)); //wait for start bit if (digitalRead(rx) == LOW) { delayMicroseconds(halfBit9600Delay); for (int offset = 0; offset < 8; offset++) { delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); val |= digitalRead(rx) << offset; } //wait for stop bit + extra delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); return val; } } This is the SWread function. This will wait for a byte to arrive on the recieve pin and then return it to the allocated variable.
- 80. First we wait for the recieve line to be pulled low. We check after a half bit delay to make sure the line is still low and we didn't just recieve line noise. Then we iterate through a bit mask and shift 1s or 0s into our output byte based on what we recieve. Finally we allow a pause for the stop bit and then return the value. void loop() { SWval = SWread(); SWprint(toupper(SWval)); } Finally we implement our main program loop. In this program we simply wait for characters to arrive, change them to uppercase and send them back. This is always a good program to run when you want to make sure a serial connection is working properly. For lots of fun serial devices check out the Sparkfun online catalog.

To do this, pick up a female DB9 connector from radioshack. Pick three different colors of wire, one for TX, one for RX, and one for ground. Solder your TX wire to pin 2 of the DB9 connector, RX wire to pin 3 and Ground to pin 5.

This is a good general purpose serial debugging program and you should be able to extrapolate from this example to cover all your basic serial needs.

Here is a shot of what it should look like in Hyperterminal, the free pre-installed windows terminal application. Now, try typing a lowercase character into the terminal window. You should see the letter you typed return to you in uppercase.

EEPROM chips such as this are very useful for data storage, and the steps we will cover for implementing SPI communication can be modified for use with most other SPI devices. Note that the chip on the Arduino board contains an internal EEPROM, so follow this tutorial only if you need more space than it provides. Materials Needed: AT25HP512 Serial EEPROM chip (or similar) Hookup wire Arduino Microcontroller Module Introduction to the Serial Peripheral Interface Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data protocol used by Microcontrollers for communicating with one or more peripheral devices quickly over short distances. It can also be used for communication between two microcontrollers. With an SPI connection there is always one master device (usually a microcontroller) which controls the peripheral devices. Typically there are three lines common to all the devices, Master In Slave Out (MISO) - The Slave line for sending data to the master, Master Out Slave In (MOSI) - The Master line for sending data to the peripherals, Serial Clock (SCK) - The clock pulses which synchronize data transmission generated by the master, and Slave Select pin - allocated on each device which the master can use to enable and disable specific devices and avoid false transmissions due to line noise. The difficult part about SPI is that the standard is loose and each device implements it a little differently. This means you have to pay special attention to the datasheet when writing your interface code. Generally speaking there are three modes of transmission numbered 0 - 3. These modes control whether data is shifted in and out on the rising or falling edge of the data clock signal, and whether the clock is idle when high or low. All SPI settings are determined by the Arduino SPI Control Register (SPCR). A register is just a byte of microcontroller memory that can be read from or written to. Registers generally serve three purposes, control, data and status. Control registers code control settings for various microcontroller functionalities. Usually each bit in a control register effects a particular setting, such as speed or polarity. Data registers simply hold bytes. For example, the SPI data register (SPDR) holds the byte which is about to be shifted out the MOSI line, and the data which has just been shifted in the MISO line. Status registers change their state based on various microcontroller conditions. For example, the seventh bit of the SPI status register (SPSR) gets set to 1 when a value is shifted in or out of the SPI. The SPI control register (SPCR) has 8 bits, each of which control a particular SPI setting. SPCR | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | SPIE | SPE | DORD | MSTR | CPOL | CPHA | SPR1 | SPR0 | SPIE - Enables the SPI interrupt when 1 SPE - Enables the SPI when 1 DORD - Sends data least Significant Bit First when 1, most Significant Bit first when 0 MSTR - Sets the Arduino in master mode when 1, slave mode when 0 CPOL - Sets the data clock to be idle when high if set to 1, idle when low if set to 0 CPHA - Samples data on the falling edge of the data clock when 1, rising edge when 0 search
- 90. SPR1 and SPR0 - Sets the SPI speed, 00 is fastest (4MHz) 11 is slowest (250KHz) This means that to write code for a new SPI device you need to note several things and set the SPCR accordingly: Is data shifted in MSB or LSB first? Is the data clock idle when high or low? Are samples on the rising or falling edge of clock pulses? What speed is the SPI running at? Once you have your SPI Control Register set correctly you just need to figure out how long you need to pause between instructions and you are ready to go. Now that you have a feel for how SPI works, let's take a look at the details of the EEPROM chip. Introduction to Serial EEPROM The AT25HP512 is a 65,536 byte serial EEPROM. It supports SPI modes 0 and 3, runs at up to 10MHz at 5v and can run at slower speeds down to 1.8v. It's memory is organized as 512 pages of 128 bytes each. It can only be written 128 bytes at a time, but it can be read 1-128 bytes at a time. The device also offers various degerees of write protection and a hold pin, but we won't be covering those in this tutorial. The device is enabled by pulling the Chip Select (CS) pin low. Instructions are sent as 8 bit operational codes (opcodes) and are shifted in on the rising edge of the data clock. It takes the EEPROM about 10 milliseconds to write a page (128 bytes) of data, so a 10ms pause should follow each EEPROM write routine. Prepare the Breadboard Insert the AT25HP512 chip into the breadboard. Connect 5V power and ground from the breadboard to 5V power and ground from the microcontroller. Connect EEPROM pins 3, 7 and 8 to 5v and pin 4 to ground.
- 91. +5v wires are red, GND wires are black Connect EEPROM pin 1 to Arduino pin 10 (Slave Select - SS), EEPROM pin 2 to Arduino pin 12 (Master In Slave Out - MISO), EEPROM pin 5 to Arduino pin 11 (Master Out Slave In - MOSI), and EEPROM pin 6 to Arduino pin 13 (Serial Clock - SCK). SS wire is white, MISO wire is yellow, MOSI wire is blue, SCK wire is green Program the Arduino Now we will write the code to enable SPI communication between the EEPROM and the Arduino. In the setup routine this program fills 128 bytes, or one page of the EEPROM with data. In the main loop it reads that data back out, one byte at a time and prints that byte out the built in serial port. We will walk through the code in small sections. The first step is setting up our pre-processor directives. Pre-processor directives are processed before the actual compilation begins. They start with a "#" and do not end with semi-colons. We define the pins we will be using for our SPI connection, DATAOUT, DATAIN, SPICLOCK and SLAVESELECT. Then we define our opcodes for the EEPROM. Opcodes are control commands: #define DATAOUT 11//MOSI #define DATAIN 12//MISO #define SPICLOCK 13//sck #define SLAVESELECT 10//ss //opcodes
- 92. #define WREN 6 #define WRDI 4 #define RDSR 5 #define WRSR 1 #define READ 3 #define WRITE 2 Here we allocate the global variables we will be using later in the program. Note char buffer [128];. this is a 128 byte array we will be using to store the data for the EEPROM write: byte eeprom_output_data; byte eeprom_input_data=0; byte clr; int address=0; //data buffer char buffer [128]; First we initialize our serial connection, set our input and output pin modes and set the SLAVESELECT line high to start. This deselects the device and avoids any false transmission messages due to line noise: void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT); pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT); pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT); pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a different functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit chooses transmission with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the fourth bit sets the data clock idle when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the data clock, and the second and first bits set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting our control register up we read the SPI status register (SPSR) and data register (SPDR) in to the junk clr variable to clear out any spurious data from past runs: // SPCR = 01010000 //interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle, //sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest) SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR); clr=SPSR; clr=SPDR; delay(10); Here we fill our data array with numbers and send a write enable instruction to the EEPROM. The EEPROM MUST be write enabled before every write instruction. To send the instruction we pull the SLAVESELECT line low, enabling the device, and then send the instruction using the spi_transfer function. Note that we use the WREN opcode we defined at the beginning of the program. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release it: //fill buffer with data fill_buffer(); //fill eeprom w/ buffer digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WREN); //write enable digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); Now we pull the SLAVESELECT line low to select the device again after a brief delay. We send a WRITE instruction to tell the EEPROM we will be sending data to record into memory. We send the 16 bit address to begin writing at in two bytes, Most Significant Bit first. Next we send our 128 bytes of data from our buffer array, one byte after another without pause. Finally we set the SLAVESELECT pin high to release the device and pause to allow the EEPROM to write the data: delay(10); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WRITE); //write instruction address=0; spi_transfer((char)(address>>8)); //send MSByte address first
- 93. spi_transfer((char)(address)); //send LSByte address //write 128 bytes for (int I=0;I<128;I++) { spi_transfer(buffer[I]); //write data byte } digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip //wait for eeprom to finish writing delay(3000); We end the setup function by sending the word "hi" plus a line feed out the built in serial port for debugging purposes. This way if our data comes out looking funny later on we can tell it isn't just the serial port acting up: Serial.print('h',BYTE); Serial.print('i',BYTE); Serial.print('n',BYTE);//debug delay(1000); } In our main loop we just read one byte at a time from the EEPROM and print it out the serial port. We add a line feed and a pause for readability. Each time through the loop we increment the eeprom address to read. When the address increments to 128 we turn it back to 0 because we have only filled 128 addresses in the EEPROM with data: void loop() { eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address); Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC); Serial.print('n',BYTE); address++; delay(500); //pause for readability } The fill_buffer function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function could easily be changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application: void fill_buffer() { for (int I=0;I<128;I++) { buffer[I]=I; } } The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls a bit to the SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of bit masks can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to the data register by the EEPROM: char spi_transfer(volatile char data) { SPDR = data; // Start the transmission while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait for the end of the transmission { }; return SPDR; // return the received byte } The read_eeprom function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable the device. Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from, Most Significant Bit first. Next we send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data. If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a time we could hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full page of data: byte read_eeprom(int EEPROM_address) { //READ EEPROM int data; digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW);

For an explanation of SPI see the SPI EEPROM tutorial. Digital potentiometers are useful when you need to vary the resistance in a ciruit electronically rather than by hand. Example applications include LED dimming, audio signal conditioning and tone generation. In this example we will use a six channel digital potentiometer to control the brightness of six LEDs. The steps we will cover for implementing SPI communication can be modified for use with most other SPI devices. Materials Needed: AD5206 Digital Potentiometer Arduino Microcontroller Module 6 Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) Hookup Wire Introduction to the AD5206 Digital Potentiometer search
- 97. The AD5206 is a 6 channel digital potentiometer. This means it has six variable resistors (potentiometers) built in for individual electronic control. There are three pins on the chip for each of the six internal variable resistors, and they can be interfaced with just as you would use a mechanical potentiometer. The individual variable resistor pins are labeled Ax, Bx and Wx, ie. A1, B1 and W1. For example, in this tutorial we will be using each variable resistor as a voltage divider by pulling one side pin (pin B) high, pulling another side pin (pin A) low and taking the variable voltage output of the center pin (Wiper). The AD5206 is digitally controlled using SPI. The device is enabled by pulling the Chip Select (CS) pin low. Instructions are sent as 11 bit operational codes (opcodes) with the three most significant bits (11-9) defining the address of which potentiometer to adjust and the eight least significant bits (8-1) defining what value to set that potentiometer to from 0-255. Data is shifted in Most Significant Bit (MSB) first on the rising edge of the data clock. The data clock is idle when low, and the interface runs much faster than the Arduino, so we don't need to worry about pre-scaling to slow down the transmission.
- 98. Prepare the Breadboard Insert the AD5206 chip into the breadboard. Connect 5V power and ground from the breadboard to 5V power and ground from the microcontroller. Connect AD5206 pins 3, 6, 10, 13, 16, 21 and 24 to 5v and pins 1, 4, 9, 12, 15, 18, 19, and 22 to ground. We are connecting all the A pins to ground and all of the B pins to 5v to create 6 voltage dividers. Connect AD5206 pin 5 to Arduino pin 10 (Slave Select - SS), AD5206 pin 7 to Arduino pin 11 (Master Out Slave In - MOSI), and AD5206 pin 8 to Arduino pin 13 (Serial Clock - SCK). Finally, connect an LED between each Wiper pin (AD5206 pins 2, 11, 14, 17, 20 and 23) and ground so that the long pin of the LED connects to the wiper and the short pin, or flat side of the LED connects to ground.
- 99. Program the Arduino Now we will write the code to enable SPI control of the AD5206. This program will sequentially pulse each LED on and then fade it out gradually. This is accomplished in the main loop of the program by individually changing the resistance of each potentiometer from full off to full on over its full range of 255 steps. We will walk through the code in small sections. We define the pins we will be using for our SPI connection, DATAOUT, DATAIN, SPICLOCK and SLAVESELECT. Although we are not reading any data back out of the AD5206 in this program, pin 12 is attached to the builtin SPI so it is best not to use it for other programming functions to avoid any possible errors: #define DATAOUT 11//MOSI #define DATAIN 12//MISO - not used, but part of builtin SPI #define SPICLOCK 13//sck #define SLAVESELECT 10//ss Next we allocate variables to store resistance values and address values for the potentiometers: byte pot=0; byte resistance=0; First we set our input and output pin modes and set the SLAVESELECT line high to start. This deselects the device and avoids any false transmission messages due to line noise: void setup() { byte clr; pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT); pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT); pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT); pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a different functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit chooses transmission with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the fourth bit sets the data clock idle when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the data clock, and the second and first bits set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting our control register up we read the SPI status register (SPSR) and data register (SPDR) in to the junk clr variable to clear out any spurious data from past runs: SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR); clr=SPSR; clr=SPDR;
- 100. delay(10); We conclude the setup function by setting all the potentiometers to full on resistance states thereby turning the LEDs off: for (i=0;i<6;i++) { write_pot(i,255); } } In our main loop we iterate through each resistance value (0-255) for each potentiometer address (0-5). We pause for 10 milliseconds each iteration to make the steps visible. This causes the LEDs to sequentially flash on brightly and then fade out slowly: void loop() { write_pot(pot,resistance); delay(10); resistance++; if (resistance==255) { pot++; } if (pot==6) { pot=0; } } The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls a bit to the SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of bit masks can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to the data register by the EEPROM: char spi_transfer(volatile char data) { SPDR = data; // Start the transmission while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait the end of the transmission { }; return SPDR; // return the received byte } The write_pot function allows us to control the individual potentiometers. We set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable the device. Then we transfer the address byte followed by the resistance value byte. Finally, we set the SLAVSELECT line high again to release the chip and signal the end of our data transfer. byte write_pot(int address, int value) { digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); //2 byte opcode spi_transfer(address); spi_transfer(value); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip, signal end transfer } LED video For easy copy and pasting the full program text of this tutorial is below: #define DATAOUT 11//MOSI #define DATAIN 12//MISO - not used, but part of builtin SPI #define SPICLOCK 13//sck #define SLAVESELECT 10//ss

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Serial to Parallel Shifting-Out with a 74HC595 Started by Carlyn Maw and Tom Igoe Nov, 06 Shifting Out & the 595 chip At sometime or another you may run out of pins on your Arduino board and need to extend it with shift registers. This example is based on the 74HC595. The datasheet refers to the 74HC595 as an “8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with output latches; 3-state.” In other words, you can use it to control 8 outputs at a time while only taking up a few pins on your microcontroller. You can link multiple registers together to extend your output even more. (Users may also wish to search for other driver chips with "595" or "596" in their part numbers, there are many. The STP16C596 for example will drive 16 LED's and eliminates the series resistors with built-in constant current sources.) How this all works is through something called “synchronous serial communication,” i.e. you can pulse one pin up and down thereby communicating a data byte to the register bit by bit. It's by pulsing second pin, the clock pin, that you delineate between bits. This is in contrast to using the “asynchronous serial communication” of the Serial.begin() function which relies on the sender and the receiver to be set independently to an agreed upon specified data rate. Once the whole byte is transmitted to the register the HIGH or LOW messages held in each bit get parceled out to each of the individual output pins. This is the “parallel output” part, having all the pins do what you want them to do all at once. The “serial output” part of this component comes from its extra pin which can pass the serial information received from the microcontroller out again unchanged. This means you can transmit 16 bits in a row (2 bytes) and the first 8 will flow through the first register into the second register and be expressed there. You can learn to do that from the second example. “3 states” refers to the fact that you can set the output pins as either high, low or “high impedance.” Unlike the HIGH and LOW states, you can’t set pins to their high impedance state individually. You can only set the whole chip together. This is a pretty specialized thing to do -- Think of an LED array that might need to be controlled by completely different microcontrollers depending on a specific mode setting built into your project. Neither example takes advantage of this feature and you won’t usually need to worry about getting a chip that has it. Here is a table explaining the pin-outs adapted from the Phillip's datasheet.

- 104. The Circuit 1. Turning it on Make the following connections: GND (pin 8) to ground, Vcc (pin 16) to 5V OE (pin 13) to ground MR (pin 10) to 5V This set up makes all of the output pins active and addressable all the time. The one flaw of this set up is that you end up with the lights turning on to their last state or something arbitrary every time you first power up the circuit before the program starts to run. You can get around this by controlling the MR and OE pins from your Arduino board too, but this way will work and leave you with more open pins. 2. Connect to Arduino DS (pin 14) to Ardunio DigitalPin 11 (blue wire) SH_CP (pin 11) to to Ardunio DigitalPin 12 (yellow wire) ST_CP (pin 12) to Ardunio DigitalPin 8 (green wire) From now on those will be refered to as the dataPin, the clockPin and the latchPin respectively. Notice the 0.1µf capacitor on the latchPin, if you have some flicker when the latch pin pulses you can use a capacitor to even it out.
- 105. 3. Add 8 LEDs. In this case you should connect the cathode (short pin) of each LED to a common ground, and the anode (long pin) of each LED to its respective shift register output pin. Using the shift register to supply power like this is called sourcing current. Some shift registers can't source current, they can only do what is called sinking current. If you have one of those it means you will have to flip the direction of the LEDs, putting the anodes directly to power and the cathodes (ground pins) to the shift register outputs. You should check the your specific datasheet if you aren’t using a 595 series chip. Don’t forget to add a 220-ohm resistor in series to protect the LEDs from being overloaded. Circuit Diagram
- 106. The Code Here are three code examples. The first is just some “hello world” code that simply outputs a byte value from 0 to 255. The second program lights one LED at a time. The third cycles through an array. 595 Logic Table 595 Timing Diagram The code is based on two pieces of information in the datasheet: the timing diagram and the logic table. The logic table is what tells you that basically everything important happens on an up beat. When the clockPin goes from low to high, the shift register reads the state of the data pin. As the data gets shifted in it is saved in an internal memory register. When the latchPin goes from low to high the sent data gets moved from the shift registers aforementioned memory register into the output pins, lighting the LEDs. Code Sample 1.1 – Hello World Code Sample 1.2 – One by One
- 107. Code Sample 1.3 – from Defined Array Example 2 In this example you’ll add a second shift register, doubling the number of output pins you have while still using the same number of pins from the Arduino. The Circuit 1. Add a second shift register. Starting from the previous example, you should put a second shift register on the board. It should have the same leads to power and ground. 2. Connect the 2 registers. Two of these connections simply extend the same clock and latch signal from the Arduino to the second shift register (yellow and green wires). The blue wire is going from the serial out pin (pin 9) of the first shift register to the serial data input (pin 14) of the second register.
- 108. 3. Add a second set of LEDs. In this case I added green ones so when reading the code it is clear which byte is going to which set of LEDs
- 109. Circuit Diagram
- 110. The Code Here again are three code samples. If you are curious, you might want to try the samples from the first example with this circuit set up just to see what happens. Code Sample 2.1 – Dual Binary Counters There is only one extra line of code compared to the first code sample from Example 1. It sends out a second byte. This forces the first shift register, the one directly attached to the Arduino, to pass the first byte sent through to the second register, lighting the green LEDs. The second byte will then show up on the red LEDs. Code Sample 2.2 – 2 Byte One By One Comparing this code to the similar code from Example 1 you see that a little bit more has had to change. The blinkAll() function has been changed to the blinkAll_2Bytes() function to reflect the fact that now there are 16 LEDs to control. Also, in version 1 the pulsings of the latchPin were situated inside the subfunctions lightShiftPinA and lightShiftPinB(). Here they need to be moved back into the main loop to accommodate needing to run each subfunction twice in a row, once for the green LEDs and once for the red ones. Code Sample 2.3 - Dual Defined Arrays
- 111. Like sample 2.2, sample 2.3 also takes advantage of the new blinkAll_2bytes() function. 2.3's big difference from sample 1.3 is only that instead of just a single variable called “data” and a single array called “dataArray” you have to have a dataRED, a dataGREEN, dataArrayRED, dataArrayGREEN defined up front. This means that line data = dataArray[j]; becomes dataRED = dataArrayRED[j]; dataGREEN = dataArrayGREEN[j]; and shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, data); becomes shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, dataGREEN); shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, dataRED); Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links X10 Library This library enables you to send and receive X10 commands from an Arduino module. X10 is a synchronous serial protocol that travels over AC power lines, sending a bit every time the AC power crosses zero volts. It's used in home automation. You can find X10 controllers and devices at http://www.x10.com, http://www.smarthome.com, and more. This library has been tested using the PL513 one-way X10 controller, and the TW523 two-way X10 controller. Both of these are essentially X10 modems, converting the 5V output of the Arduino into AC signals on the zero crossing. To connect an Arduino to one of these modules, get a phone cable with an RJ-11 connector, and cut one end off. Then wire the pins as follows: Download: X10.zip To use, unzip it and copy the resulting folder, called TextString, into the lib/targets/libraries directory of your arduino application folder. Then re-start the Arduino application. When you restart, you'll see a few warning messages in the debugger pane at the bottom of the program. You can ignore them. As of version 0.2, here's what you can do: x10(int strLength) - initialize an instance of the X10 library on two digital pins. e.g. x10 myHouse = x10(9, 10); // initializes X10 on pins 9 (zero crossing pin) and 10 (data pin) void write(byte houseCode, byte numberCode, int numRepeats) - Send an X10 message, e.g. myHouse.write(A, ALL_LIGHTS_ON, 1); // Turns on all lights in house code A version(void) - get the library version. Since there will be more functions added, printing the version is a useful debugging tool when you get an error from a given function. Perhaps you're using an earlier version that doesn't feature the version you need! e.g. Serial.println(myHouse.version()); // prints the version of the library There are a number of constants added to make X10 easier. They are as follows: A through F: house code values. UNIT_1 through UNIT_16: unit code values search

- 139. Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links First Sketch In the getting started guide (Windows, Mac OS X, Linux), you uploaded a sketch that blinks an LED. In this tutorial, you'll learn how each part of that sketch works. Sketch A sketch is the name that Arduino uses for a program. It's the unit of code that is uploaded to and run on an Arduino board. Comments The first few lines of the Blink sketch are a comment: /* * Blink * * The basic Arduino example. Turns on an LED on for one second, * then off for one second, and so on... We use pin 13 because, * depending on your Arduino board, it has either a built-in LED * or a built-in resistor so that you need only an LED. * * http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink */ Everything between the /* and */ is ignored by the Arduino when it runs the sketch (the * at the start of each line is only there to make the comment look pretty, and isn't required). It's there for people reading the code: to explain what the program does, how it works, or why it's written the way it is. It's a good practice to comment your sketches, and to keep the comments up-to-date when you modify the code. This helps other people to learn from or modify your code. There's another style for short, single-line comments. These start with // and continue to the end of the line. For example, in the line: int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 the message "LED connected to digital pin 13" is a comment. Variables A variable is a place for storing a piece of data. It has a name, a type, and a value. For example, the line from the Blink sketch above declares a variable with the name ledPin, the type int, and an initial value of 13. It's being used to indicate which Arduino pin the LED is connected to. Every time the name ledPin appears in the code, its value will be retrieved. In this case, the person writing the program could have chosen not to bother creating the ledPin variable and instead have simply written 13 everywhere they needed to specify a pin number. The advantage of using a variable is that it's easier to move the LED to a different pin: you only need to edit the one line that assigns the initial value to the variable. Often, however, the value of a variable will change while the sketch runs. For example, you could store the value read from an input into a variable. There's more information in the Variables tutorial. Functions A function (otherwise known as a procedure or sub-routine) is a named piece of code that can be used from elsewhere in a sketch. For example, here's the definition of the setup() function from the Blink example: void setup() { search
- 140. pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output } The first line provides information about the function, like its name, "setup". The text before and after the name specify its return type and parameters: these will be explained later. The code between the { and } is called the body of the function: what the function does. You can call a function that's already been defined (either in your sketch or as part of the Arduino language). For example, the line pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); calls the pinMode() function, passing it two parameters: ledPin and OUTPUT. These parameters are used by the pinMode() function to decide which pin and mode to set. pinMode(), digitalWrite(), and delay() The pinMode() function configures a pin as either an input or an output. To use it, you pass it the number of the pin to configure and the constant INPUT or OUTPUT. When configured as an input, a pin can detect the state of a sensor like a pushbutton; this is discussed in a later tutorial?. As an output, it can drive an actuator like an LED. The digitalWrite() functions outputs a value on a pin. For example, the line: digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); set the ledPin (pin 13) to HIGH, or 5 volts. Writing a LOW to pin connects it to ground, or 0 volts. The delay() causes the Arduino to wait for the specified number of milliseconds before continuing on to the next line. There are 1000 milliseconds in a second, so the line: delay(1000); creates a delay of one second. setup() and loop() There are two special functions that are a part of every Arduino sketch: setup() and loop(). The setup() is called once, when the sketch starts. It's a good place to do setup tasks like setting pin modes or initializing libraries. The loop() function is called over and over and is heart of most sketches. You need to include both functions in your sketch, even if you don't need them for anything. Exercises 1. Change the code so that the LED is on for 100 milliseconds and off for 1000. 2. Change the code so that the LED turns on when the sketch starts and stays on.

- 141. Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Pins Pins Configured as INPUT Arduino (Atmega) pins default to inputs, so they don't need to be explicitly declared as inputs with pinMode(). Pins configured as inputs are said to be in a high-impedance state. One way of explaining this is that input pins make extremely small demands on the circuit that they are sampling, say equivalent to a series resistor of 100 Megohms in front of the pin. This means that it takes very little current to move the input pin from one state to another, and can make the pins useful for such tasks as implementing a capacitive touch sensor. This also means however that input pins with nothing connected to them, or with wires connected to them that are not connected to other circuits, will report seemingly random changes in pin state, picking up electrical noise from the environment, or capacitively coupling the state of a nearby pin for example. Pullup Resistors Often it is useful to steer an input pin to a known state if no input is present. This can be done by adding a pullup resistor(to +5V), or pulldown resistor (resistor to ground) on the input, with 10K being a common value. There are also convenient 20K pullup resistors built into the Atmega chip that can be accessed from software. These built-in pullup resistors are accessed in the following manner. pinMode(pin, INPUT); // set pin to input digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); // turn on pullup resistors Note that the pullup resistors provide enough current to dimly light an LED connected to a pin that has been configured as an input. If LED's in a project seem to be working, but very dimly, this is likely what is going on, and the programmer has forgotten to use pinMode() to set the pins to outputs. Note also that the pullup resistors are controlled by the same registers (internal chip memory locations) that control whether a pin is HIGH or LOW. Consequently a pin that is configured to have pullup resistors turned on when the pin is an INPUT, will have the pin configured as HIGH if the pin is then swtiched to an OUTPUT with pinMode(). This works in the other direction as well, and an output pin that is left in a HIGH state will have the pullup resistors set if switched to an input with pinMode(). Pins Configured as OUTPUT Pins configured as OUTPUT with pinMode() are said to be in a low-impedance state. This means that they can provide a substantial amount of current to other circuits. Atmega pins can source (provide positive current) or sink (provide negative current) up to 40 mA (milliamps) of current to other devices/circuits. This is enough current to brightly light up an LED (don't forget the series resistor), or run many sensors, for example, but not enough current to run most relays, solenoids, or motors. Short circuits on Arduino pins, or attempting to run high current devices from them, can damage or destroy the output transistors in the pin, or damage the entire Atmega chip. Often this will result in a "dead" pin in the microcontroller but the remaining chip will still function adequately. For this reason it is a good idea to connect OUTPUT pins to other devices with 470O or 1k resistors, unless maximum current draw from the pins is required for a particular application.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Analog Pins A description of the analog input pins on an Atmega168 (Arduino chip). A/D converter The Atmega168 contains an onboard 6 channel analog-to-digital (A/D) converter. The converter has 10 bit resolution, returning integers from 0 to 1023. While the main function of the analog pins for most Arduino users is to read analog sensors, the analog pins also have all the functionality of general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins (the same as digital pins 0 - 13). Consequently, if a user needs more general purpose input output pins, and all the analog pins are not in use, the analog pins may be used for GPIO. Pin mapping The Arduino pin numbers corresponding to the analog pins are 14 through 19. Note that these are Arduino pin numbers, and do not correspond to the physical pin numbers on the Atmega168 chip. The analog pins can be used identically to the digital pins, so for example, to set analog pin 0 to an output, and to set it HIGH, the code would look like this: pinMode(14, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(14, HIGH); Pullup resistors The analog pins also have pullup resistors, which work identically to pullup resistors on the digital pins. They are enabled by issuing a command such as digitalWrite(14, HIGH); // set pullup on analog pin 0 while the pin is an input. Be aware however that turning on a pullup will affect the value reported by analogRead() when using some sensors if done inadvertently. Most users will want to use the pullup resistors only when using an analog pin in its digital mode. Details and Caveats The analogRead command will not work correctly if a pin has been previously set to an output, so if this is the case, set it back to an input before using analogRead. Similarly if the pin has been set to HIGH as an output. The Atmega168 datasheet also cautions against switching digital pins in close temporal proximity to making A/D readings (analogRead) on other analog pins. This can cause electrical noise and introduce jitter in the analog system. It may be desirable, after manipulating analog pins (in digital mode), to add a short delay before using analogRead() to read other analog pins.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links PWM The Fading example demonstrates the use of analog output (PWM) to fade an LED. It is available in the File->Sketchbook- >Examples->Analog menu of the Arduino software. Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM, is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a square wave, a signal switched between on and off. This on-off pattern can simulate voltages in between full on (5 Volts) and off (0 Volts) by changing the portion of the time the signal spends on versus the time that the signal spends off. The duration of "on time" is called the pulse width. To get varying analog values, you change, or modulate, that pulse width. If you repeat this on-off pattern fast enough with an LED for example, the result is as if the signal is a steady voltage between 0 and 5v controlling the brightness of the LED. In the graphic below, the green lines represent a regular time period. This duration or period is the inverse of the PWM frequency. In other words, with Arduino's PWM frequency at about 500Hz, the green lines would measure 2 milliseconds each. A call to analogWrite() is on a scale of 0 - 255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time) for example. Once you get this example running, grab your arduino and shake it back and forth. What you are doing here is essentially mapping time across the space. To our eyes, the movement blurs each LED blink into a line. As the LED fades in and out, those little lines will grow and shrink in length. Now you are seeing the pulse width.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Memory There are three pools of memory in the microcontroller used on Arduino boards (ATmega168): Flash memory (program space), is where the Arduino sketch is stored. SRAM (static random access memory) is where the sketch creates and manipulates variables when it runs. EEPROM is memory space that programmers can use to store long-term information. Flash memory and EEPROM memory are non-volatile (the information persists after the power is turned off). SRAM is volatile and will be lost when the power is cycled. The ATmega168 chip has the following amounts of memory: Flash 16k bytes (of which 2k is used for the bootloader) SRAM 1024 bytes EEPROM 512 bytes Notice that there's not much SRAM available. It's easy to use it all up by having lots of strings in your program. For example, a declaration like: char message[] = "I support the Cape Wind project."; puts 32 bytes into SRAM (each character takes a byte). This might not seem like a lot, but it doesn't take long to get to 1024, especially if you have a large amount of text to send to a display, or a large lookup table, for example. If you run out of SRAM, your program may fail in unexpected ways; it will appear to upload successfully, but not run, or run strangely. To check if this is happening, you can try commenting out or shortening the strings or other data structures in your sketch (without changing the code). If it then runs successfully, you're probably running out of SRAM. There are a few things you can do to address this problem: If your sketch talks to a program running on a (desktop/laptop) computer, you can try shifting data or calculations to the computer, reducing the load on the Arduino. If you have lookup tables or other large arrays, use the smallest data type necessary to store the values you need; for example, an int takes up two bytes, while a byte uses only one (but can store a smaller range of values). If you don't need to modify the strings or data while your sketch is running, you can store them in flash (program) memory instead of SRAM; to do this, use the PROGMEM keyword. To use the EEPROM, see the EEPROM library. Foundations Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes search

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Bootloader The bootloader is a small piece of software that we've burned onto the chips that come with your Arduino boards. It allows you to upload sketches to the board without external hardware. When you reset the Arduino board, it runs the bootloader (if present). The bootloader pulses digital pin 13 (you can connect an LED to make sure that the bootloader is installed). The bootloader then listens for commands or data to arrive from the the computer. Usually, this is a sketch that the bootloader writes to the flash memory on the ATmega168 or ATmega8 chip. Then, the bootloader launches the newly-uploaded program. If, however, no data arrives from the computer, the bootloader launches whatever program was last uploaded onto the chip. If the chip is still "virgin" the bootloader is the only program in memory and will start itself again. Why are we using a bootloader? The use of a bootloader allows us to avoid the use of external hardware programmers. (Burning the bootloader onto the chip, however, requires one of these external programmers.) Why doesn't my sketch start? It's possible to "confuse" the bootloader so that it never starts your sketch. In particular, if you send serial data to the board just after it resets (when the bootloader is running), it may think you're talking to it and never quit. In particular, the auto- reset feature on the Diecimila means that the board resets (and the bootloader starts) whenever you open a serial connection to it. To avoid this problem, you should wait for two seconds or so after opening the connection before sending any data. On the NG, the board doesn't reset when you open a serial connection to it, but when it does reset it takes longer - about 8-10 seconds - to timeout. Looking for more information? See the bootloader development page for information on burning a bootloader and other ways to configure a chip. Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes search

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Variables A variable is a place to store a piece of data. It has a name, a value, and a type. For example, this statement (called a declaration): int pin = 13; creates a variable whose name is pin, whose value is 13, and whose type is int. Later on in the program, you can refer to this variable by its name, at which point its value will be looked up and used. For example, in this statement: pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); it is the value of pin (13) that will be passed to the pinMode() function. In this case, you don't actually need to use a variable, this statement would work just as well: pinMode(13, OUTPUT); The advantage of a variable in this case is that you only need to specify the actual number of the pin once, but you can use it lots of times. So if you later decide to change from pin 13 to pin 12, you only need to change one spot in the code. Also, you can use a descriptive name to make the significance of the variable clear (e.g. a program controlling an RGB LED might have variables called redPin, greenPin, and bluePin). A variable has other advantages over a value like a number. Most importantly, you can change the value of a variable using an assignment (indicated by an equals sign). For example: pin = 12; will change the value of the variable to 12. Notice that we don't specify the type of the variable: it's not changed by the assignment. That is, the name of the variable is permanently associated with a type; only its value changes. [1] Note that you have to declare a variable before you can assign a value to it. If you include the preceding statement in a program without the first statement above, you'll get a message like: "error: pin was not declared in this scope". When you assign one variable to another, you're making a copy of its value and storing that copy in the location in memory associated with the other variable. Changing one has no effect on the other. For example, after: int pin = 13; int pin2 = pin; pin = 12; only pin has the value 12; pin2 is still 13. Now what, you might be wondering, did the word "scope" in that error message above mean? It refers to the part of your program in which the variable can be used. This is determined by where you declare it. For example, if you want to be able to use a variable anywhere in your program, you can declare at the top of your code. This is called a global variable; here's an example: int pin = 13; void setup() { pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); } search
- 148. As you can see, pin is used in both the setup() and loop() functions. Both functions are referring to the same variable, so that changing it one will affect the value it has in the other, as in: int pin = 13; void setup() { pin = 12; pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); } Here, the digitalWrite() function called from loop() will be passed a value of 12, since that's the value that was assigned to the variable in the setup() function. If you only need to use a variable in a single function, you can declare it there, in which case its scope will be limited to that function. For example: void setup() { int pin = 13; pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(pin, HIGH); } In this case, the variable pin can only be used inside the setup() function. If you try to do something like this: void loop() { digitalWrite(pin, LOW); // wrong: pin is not in scope here. } you'll get the same message as before: "error: 'pin' was not declared in this scope". That is, even though you've declared pin somewhere in your program, you're trying to use it somewhere outside its scope. Why, you might be wondering, wouldn't you make all your variables global? After all, if I don't know where I might need a variable, why should I limit its scope to just one function? The answer is that it can make it easier to figure out what happens to it. If a variable is global, its value could be changed anywhere in the code, meaning that you need to understand the whole program to know what will happen to the variable. For example, if your variable has a value you didn't expect, it can be much easier to figure out where the value came from if the variable has a limited scope. [block scope] [size of variables] [1] In some languages, like Python, types are associated with values, not variable names, and you can assign values of any type to a variable. This is referred to as dynamic typing. Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes

As a microcontroller, Arduino doesn't have any pre-established output devices. Willing to provide newcomers with some help while debugging programs, we propose the use of one of the board's pins plugging a LED that we will make blink indicating the right functionallity of the program. We have added a 1K resistor to pin 13, what allows the immediate connection of a LED between that pin and ground. LEDs have polarity, which means they will only light up if you orient the legs properly. The long leg is typically positive, and should connect to pin 13. The short leg connects to GND; the bulb of the LED will also typically have a flat edge on this side. If the LED doesn't light up, trying reversing the legs (you won't hurt the LED if you plug it in backwards for a short period of time). Code The example code is very simple, credits are to be found in the comments. /* Blinking LED * ------------ * * turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to a digital * pin, in intervals of 2 seconds.

The car had been augmented with plenty of LEDs in all possible sizes performing flashy effects. Thus we decided that in order to learn more about sequential programming and good programming techniques for the I/O board, it would be interesting to use the Knight Rider as a metaphor. This example makes use of 6 LEDs connected to the pins 2 - 7 on the board using 220 Ohm resistors. The first code example will make the LEDs blink in a sequence, one by one using only digitalWrite(pinNum,HIGH/LOW) and delay(time). The second example shows how to use a for(;;) construction to perform the very same thing, but in fewer lines. The third and last example concentrates in the visual effect of turning the LEDs on/off in a more softer way.

You will be able to controle how fast the 'star' shoots, and how long its 'tail' is. It isn't very elegant because the tail is as bright as the star, and in the end it seems like a solid ray that crosses the LED line. ?v=0 How this works You connect 11 LEDs to 11 arduino digital pins, through a 220 Ohm resistance (see image above). The program starts lighting up LEDs until it reaches the number of LEDs equal to the size you have stablished for the tail. Then it will continue lighting LEDs towards the left (if you mount it like and look at it like the image) to make the star keep movint, and will start erasing from the right, to make sure we see the tail (otherwise we would just light up the whole line of leds, this will happen also if the tail size is equal or bigger than 11) The tail size should be relatively small in comparison with the number of LEDs in order to see it. Of course you can increase the number of LEDs using an LED driver (see tutorial) and therefore, allow longer tails.

The example turns on an LED when you press the button. We connect three wires to the Arduino board. The first goes from one leg of the pushbutton through a pull-up resistor (here 2.2 KOhms) to the 5 volt supply. The second goes from the corresponding leg of the pushbutton to ground. The third connects to a digital i/o pin (here pin 7) which reads the button's state. When the pushbutton is open (unpressed) there is no connection between the two legs of the pushbutton, so the pin is connected to 5 volts (through the pull-up resistor) and we read a HIGH. When the button is closed (pressed), it makes a connection between its two legs, connecting the pin to ground, so that we read a LOW. (The pin is still connected to 5 volts, but the resistor in-between them means that the pin is "closer" to ground.) /* Basic Digital Read * ------------------ * * turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital * pin 13, when pressing a pushbutton attached to pin 7.

In this example, that value controls the rate at which an LED blinks. We connect three wires to the Arduino board. The first goes to ground from one of the outer pins of the potentiometer. The second goes from 5 volts to the other outer pin of the potentiometer. The third goes from analog input 2 to the middle pin of the potentiometer. By turning the shaft of the potentiometer, we change the amount of resistence on either side of the wiper which is connected to the center pin of the potentiometer. This changes the relative "closeness" of that pin to 5 volts and ground, giving us a different analog input. When the shaft is turned all the way in one direction, there are 0 volts going to the pin, and we read 0. When the shaft is turned all the way in the other direction, there are 5 volts going to the pin and we read 1023. In between, analogRead() returns a number between 0 and 1023 that is proportional to the amount of voltage being applied to the pin.

- 188. How this works The joystick in the picture is nothing but two potentiometers that allow us to messure the movement of the stick in 2-D. Potentiometers are variable resistors and, in a way, they act as sensors providing us with a variable voltage depending on the rotation of the device around its shaft. The kind of program that we need to monitor the joystick has to make a polling to two of the analog pins. We can send these values back to the computer, but then we face the classic problem that the transmission over the communication port has to be made with 8bit values, while our DAC (Digital to Analog Converter - that is messuring the values from the potentiometers in the joystick) has a resolution of 10bits. In other words this means that our sensors are characterized with a value between 0 and 1024. The following code includes a method called treatValue() that is transforming the sensor's messurement into a value between 0 and 9 and sends it in ASCII back to the computer. This allows to easily send the information into e.g. Flash and parse it inside your own code. Finally we make the LED blink with the values read from the sensors as a direct visual feedback of how we control the joystick. /* Read Jostick * ------------ * * Reads two analog pins that are supposed to be * connected to a jostick made of two potentiometers * * We send three bytes back to the comp: one header and two * with data as signed bytes, this will take the form: * Jxyrn * * x and y are integers and sent in ASCII * * http://www.0j0.org | http://arduino.berlios.de * copyleft 2005 DojoDave for DojoCorp */ int ledPin = 13; int joyPin1 = 0; // slider variable connecetd to analog pin 0 int joyPin2 = 1; // slider variable connecetd to analog pin 1 int value1 = 0; // variable to read the value from the analog pin 0 int value2 = 0; // variable to read the value from the analog pin 1 void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // initializes digital pins 0 to 7 as outputs beginSerial(9600); } int treatValue(int data) {

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Knock Sensor Here we use a Piezo element to detect sound, what will allow us to use it as a knock sensor. We are taking advantage of the processors capability to read analog signals through its ADC - analog to digital converter. These converters read a voltage value and transform it into a value encoded digitally. In the case of the Arduino boards, we transform the voltage into a value in the range 0..1024. 0 represents 0volts, while 1024 represents 5volts at the input of one of the six analog pins. A Piezo is nothing but an electronic device that can both be used to play tones and to detect tones. In our example we are plugging the Piezo on the analog input pin number 0, that supports the functionality of reading a value between 0 and 5volts, and not just a plain HIGH or LOW. The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the input. We also have to connect a resistor in the range of the Megaohms in parallel to the Piezo element; in the example we have plugged it directly in the female connectors. Sometimes it is possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look like a metallic disc and are easier to use as input sensors. The code example will capture the knock and if it is stronger than a certain threshold, it will send the string "Knock!" back to the computer over the serial port. In order to see this text you could either use a terminal program, which will read data from the serial port and show it in a window, or make your own program in e.g. Processing. Later in this article we propose a program that works for the software designed by Reas and Fry.

First we see that whenever there is a knock bigger that the threshold, the program is printing (thus sending) "Knock!" over the serial port. Directly after sends the byte 10, what stands for EOLN or End Of LiNe, and byte 13, or CR - Carriage Return. Those two symbols will be useful to determine when the message sent by the board is over. Once that happens, the processing program will toggle the background color of the screen and print out "Knock!" in the command line. // Knock In // by David Cuartielles <http://www.0j0.org> // based on Analog In by Josh Nimoy <http://itp.jtnimoy.com> // Reads a value from the serial port and makes the background // color toggle when there is a knock on a piezo used as a knock // sensor. // Running this example requires you have an Arduino board // as peripheral hardware sending values and adding an EOLN + CR // in the end.

Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Parallel to Serial Shifting-In with a CD4021BE Started By Carlyn Maw and Tom Igoe Jan, '07 Shifting In & the CD4021B Sometimes you'll end up needing more digital input than the 13 pins on your Arduino board can readily handle. Using a parallel to serial shift register allows you collect information from 8 or more switches while only using 3 of the pins on your Arduino. An example of a parallel to serial register is the CD4021B, sometimes referred to as an “8-Stage Static Shift Register.” This means you can read the state of up to 8 digital inputs attached to the register all at once. This is called Asynchronous Parallel Input. “Input” because you are collecting information. “Parallel” because it is all at once, like hearing a musical cord. “Asynchronous” because the CD4021B is doing all this data collection at its own pace without coordinating with the Arduino. That happens in the next step when those 8 pin states are translated into a series of HIGH and LOW pulses on the serial-out pin of the shift register. This pin should be connected to an input pin on your Arduino Board, referred to as the data pin. The transfer of information itself is called Synchronous Serial Output because the shift register waits to deliver linear sequence of data to the Arduino until the Arduino asks for it. Synchronous Serial communication, input or output, is heavily reliant on what is referred to as a clock pin. That is what makes it “synchronous.” The clock pin is the metronome of the conversation between the shift register and the Arduino. Every time the Arduino sends the clock pin from LOW to HIGH it is telling the shift register “change the state of your Serial Output pin to tell me about the next switch.” The third pin attached to the Arduino is a “Parallel to Serial Control” pin. You can think of it as a latch pin. When the latch pin is HIGH the shift register is listening to its 8 parallel ins. When it is LOW it is listening to the clock pin and passing information serially. That means every time the latch pin transitions from HIGH to LOW the shift register will start passing its most current switch information. The pseudo code to coordinate this all looks something like this: 1. Make sure the register has the latest information from its parallel inputs (i.e. that the latch pin is HIGH) 2. Tell the register that I’m ready to get the information serially (latch pin LOW) 3. For each of the inputs I’m expecting, pulse the clockPin and then check to see if the data pin is low or high This is a basic diagram. _______ switch -> | | switch -> | C | switch -> | D | switch -> | 4 | -> Serial Data to Arduino switch -> | 0 | switch -> | 2 | switch -> | 1 | <- Clock Data from Arduino switch -> |_____| <- Latch Data from Arduino If supplementing your Arduino with an additional 8 digital-ins isn’t going to be enough for your project you can have a second CD4021 pass its information on to that first CD4021 which will then be streaming all 16 bits of information to the Arduino in turn. If you know you will need to use multiple shift registers like this check that any shift registers you buy can handle Synchronous Serial Input as well as the standard Synchronous Serial Output capability. Synchronous Serial Input is the feature that allows the first shift register to receive and transmit the serial-output from the second one linked to it. The second example will cover this situation. You can keep extending this daisy-chain of shift registers until you have all the inputs you need, within reason. _______ search

(sub-function) Example 2: Daisy Chained In this example you’ll add a second shift register, doubling the number of input pins while still using the same number of pins on the Arduino. The Circuit 1. Add a second shift register. 2. Connect the 2 registers. Two of these connections simply extend the same clock and latch signal from the Arduino to the second shift register (yellow and green wires). The blue wire is going from the serial out pin (pin 9) of the first shift register to the serial data input (pin 14) of the second register.
- 200. 3. Add a second set of Switches. Notice that there is one momentary switch and the rest are toggle switches. This is because the code examples will be using the switches attached to the second shift register as settings, like a preference file, rather than as event triggers. The one momentary switch will be telling the microcontroller that the setting switches are being changed.

- 218. Added lines 1-49: Blinking an LED without using the delay() function. Sometimes you need to blink an LED (or some other time sensitive function) at the same time as something else (like watching for a button press). That means you can't use delay(), or you'd stop everything else the program while the LED blinked. Here's some code that demonstrates how to blink the LED without using delay(). It keeps track of the last time it turned the LED on or off. Then, each time through loop() it checks if a sufficient interval has passed - if it has, it turns the LED off if it was on and vice-versa.

Arduino : Tutorial / Blink Without Delay Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Examples > Digital I/O Blink Without Delay Sometimes you need to blink an LED (or some other time sensitive function) at the same time as something else (like watching for a button press). That means you can't use delay(), or you'd stop everything else the program while the LED blinked. Here's some code that demonstrates how to blink the LED without using delay(). It keeps track of the last time it turned the LED on or off. Then, each time through loop() it checks if a sufficient interval has passed - if it has, it turns the LED off if it was on and vice-versa. Code int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13 int value = LOW; // previous value of the LED long previousMillis = 0; // will store last time LED was updated long interval = 1000; // interval at which to blink (milliseconds) void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output } void loop() { // here is where you'd put code that needs to be running all the time. // check to see if it's time to blink the LED; that is, is the difference // between the current time and last time we blinked the LED bigger than // the interval at which we want to blink the LED. if (millis() - previousMillis > interval) { previousMillis = millis(); // remember the last time we blinked the LED // if the LED is off turn it on and vice-versa. if (value == LOW) value = HIGH; else value = LOW; digitalWrite(ledPin, value); } } (Printable View of http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/BlinkWithoutDelay)

We are taking advantage of the processors capability to read analog signals through its ADC - analog to digital converter. These converters read a voltage value and transform it into a value encoded digitally. In the case of the Arduino boards, we transform the voltage into a value in the range 0..1024. 0 represents 0volts, while 1024 represents 5volts at the input of one of the six analog pins. A Piezo is nothing but an electronic device that can both be used to play tones and to detect tones. In our example we are plugging the Piezo on the analog input pin number 0, that supports the functionality of reading a value between 0 and 5volts, and not just a plain HIGH or LOW. The other thing to remember is that Piezos have polarity, commercial devices are usually having a red and a black wires indicating how to plug it to the board. We connect the black one to ground and the red one to the input. We also have to connect a resistor in the range of the Megaohms in parallel to the Piezo element; in the example we have plugged it directly in the female connectors. Sometimes it is possible to acquire Piezo elements without a plastic housing, then they will just look like a metallic disc and are easier to use as input sensors.

The sensor counts with 3 pins, two are dedicated to power and ground, while the third one is used both as input and output. The pin dedicated to make the readings has to be shifting configuration from input to output according to the PING specification sheet. First we have to send a pulse that will make the sensor send an ultrasound tone and wait for an echo. Once the tone is received back, the sensor will send a pulse over the same pin as earlier.

- 340. Arduino : Tutorial / Ultrasound Sensor Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links PING range finder The PING range finder is an ultrasound sensor from Parallax able of detecting objects up to a 3 mts distance. The sensor counts with 3 pins, two are dedicated to power and ground, while the third one is used both as input and output. The pin dedicated to make the readings has to be shifting configuration from input to output according to the PING specification sheet. First we have to send a pulse that will make the sensor send an ultrasound tone and wait for an echo. Once the tone is received back, the sensor will send a pulse over the same pin as earlier. The width of that pulse will determine the distance to the object. The example shown here was mounted by Marcus Hannerstig, while the software was created by David Cuartielles. The board is connected as explained using only wires coming from an old computer.

Arduino : Tutorial / LCD 8 Bits Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links LCD Display - 8 bits This example shows the most basic action to be done with a LCD display: to show a welcome message. In our case we have an LCD display with backlight and contrast control. Therefore we will use a potentiometer to regulate the contrast. LCD displays are most of the times driven using an industrial standard established by Hitachi. According to it there is a group of pins dedicated to sending data and locations of that data on the screen, the user can choose to use 4 or 8 pins to send data. On top of that three more pins are needed to synchronize the communication towards the display. The backdrop of this example is that we are using almost all the available pins on Arduino board in order to drive the display, but we have decided to show it this way for simplicity. Picture of a protoboard supporting the display and a potentiometer /* LCD Hola * -------- * * This is the first example in how to use an LCD screen * configured with data transfers over 8 bits. The example * uses all the digital pins on the Arduino board, but can * easily display data on the display * * There are the following pins to be considered: * * - DI, RW, DB0..DB7, Enable (11 in total) * * the pinout for LCD displays is standard and there is plenty * of documentation to be found on the internet. * * (cleft) 2005 DojoDave for K3 * */

Copy the following code into your sketch, compile and upload to the Arduino. 1. include LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void loop(void){ delay(1000); } } If all went as planned both the LCD and the LED should turn on. Now you can use the potentiometer to adjust the contrast on the LCD until you can clearly see a cursor at the beginning of the first line. Now letÕs try something a little more interesting. Compile and upload the following code to the Arduino. 1. include LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); delay(1000); lcd.print('a'); lcd.print('b'); lcd.print('c'); delay(1000); } } This time you should see the letters a b and c appear and clear from the display in an endless loop. This is all great fun, but who really wants to type out each letter of a message indivually? Enter the printIn() function. Simply initialize a string, pass it to printIn(), and now we have ourselves a proper hello world program. 1. include LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); char string1[] = "Hello!"; void setup(void){ lcd.init(); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); delay(1000); lcd.printIn(string1); delay(1000); } } Finally, you should know there is a lot of functionality in the HD44780 chip interface that is not drawn out into Arduino functions.

The pinout is as follows: Arduino LCD 2 Enable 3 Data Bit 0 (DB0) 4 (DB1) 5 (DB2) 6 (DB3) 7 (DB4) 8 (DB5) 9 (DB6) 10 (DB7) 11 Read/Write (RW) 12 Register Select (RS) Connect a potentiometer a a voltage divider between 5V, Ground, and the contrast adjustment pin on your LCD.
- 393. Additionally you may want to connect an LED for debugging purposes between pin 13 and Ground. Program the Arduino First start by opening a new sketch in Arduino and saving it. Now go to the Sketch menu, scroll down to "import library", and choose "LiquidCrystal". The phrase #include <LiquidCrystal.h> should pop up at the top of your sketch. The first program we are going to try is simply for calibration and debugging. Copy the following code into your sketch, compile and upload to the Arduino. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ delay(1000); //repeat forever } If all went as planned both the LCD and the LED should turn on. Now you can use the potentiometer to adjust the contrast on the LCD until you can clearly see a cursor at the beginning of the first line. If you turn the potentiometer too far in one direction black blocks will appear. Too far in the other direction everything will fade from the display. There should be a small spot in the middle where the cursor appears crisp and dark.
- 394. Now let's try something a little more interesting. Compile and upload the following code to the Arduino. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); //clear the display delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.print('a'); //send individual letters to the LCD lcd.print('b'); lcd.print('c'); delay(1000);//delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever This time you should see the letters a b and c appear and clear from the display in an endless loop. This is all great fun, but who really wants to type out each letter of a message indivually? Enter the printIn()
- 395. function. Simply initialize a string, pass it to printIn(), and now we have ourselves a proper hello world program. #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!" void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.clear(); //clear the display delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever Finally, you should know there is a lot of functionality in the HD44780 chip interface that is not drawn out into Arduino functions. If you are feeling ambitious glance over the datasheet and try out some of the direct commands using the commandWrite() function. For example, commandWrite(2) tells the board to move the cursor back to starting position. Here is an example: #include <LiquidCrystal.h> //include LiquidCrystal library LiquidCrystal lcd = LiquidCrystal(); //create a LiquidCrystal object to control an LCD char string1[] = "Hello!"; //variable to store the string "Hello!" void setup(void){ lcd.init(); //initialize the LCD digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on an LED for debugging } void loop(void){ lcd.commandWrite(2); //bring the cursor to the starting position delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change lcd.printIn(string1); //send the string to the LCD delay(1000); //delay 1000 ms to view change } //repeat forever This code makes the cursor jump back and forth between the end of the message an the home position. To interface an LCD directly in Arduino code see this example.

- 398. Unipolar Stepper Motor This page shows two examples on how to drive a bipolar stepper motor. These motors can be found in old floppy drives and are easy to control. The one we use has 6 connectors of which one is power (VCC) and the other four are used to drive the motor sending synchronous signals. The first example is the basic code to make the motor spin in one direction. It is aiming those that have no knowledge in how to control stepper motors. The second example is coded in a more complex way, but allows to make the motor spin at different speeds, in both directions, and controlling both from a potentiometer. The prototyping board has been populated with a 10K potentiomenter that we connect to an analog input, and a ULN2003A driver. This chip has a bunch of transistors embedded in a single housing. It allows the connection of devices and components that need much higher current than the ones that the ATMEGA8 from our Arduino board can offer. http://static.flickr.com/32/54357295_756c131217.jpg Picture of a protoboard supporting the ULN2003A and a potentiometer Example 1: Simple example /* Stepper Copal * ------------- * * Program to drive a stepper motor coming from a 5'25 disk drive * according to the documentation I found, this stepper: "[...] motor * made by Copal Electronics, with 1.8 degrees per step and 96 ohms * per winding, with center taps brought out to separate leads [...]" * [http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/step/example.html] * * It is a bipolar stepper motor with 5 wires: * * - red: power connector, I have it at 5V and works fine * - orange and black: coil 1 * - brown and yellow: coil 2 * * (cleft) 2005 DojoDave for K3 * http://www.0j0.org | http://arduino.berlios.de * * @author: David Cuartielles * @date: 20 Oct. 2005 */ int motorPin1 = 8; int motorPin2 = 9; int motorPin3 = 10; int motorPin4 = 11; int delayTime = 500; void setup() { pinMode(motorPin1, OUTPUT); pinMode(motorPin2, OUTPUT); pinMode(motorPin3, OUTPUT); pinMode(motorPin4, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(motorPin1, HIGH); digitalWrite(motorPin2, LOW); digitalWrite(motorPin3, LOW); digitalWrite(motorPin4, LOW); delay(delayTime); digitalWrite(motorPin1, LOW); digitalWrite(motorPin2, HIGH); digitalWrite(motorPin3, LOW); digitalWrite(motorPin4, LOW);

- 412. Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Bit masks are used to access specific bits in a byte of data. This is often useful as a method of iteration, for example when sending a byte of data serially out a single pin. In this example the pin needs to change it's state from high to low for each bit in the byte to be transmitted. This is accomplished using what are known as bitwise operations and a bit mask. Bitwise operations perform logical functions that take affect on the bit level. Standard bitwise operations include AND (&) OR (|) Left Shift (<<) and Right Shift (>>). The AND (&) operator will result in a 1 at each bit position where both input values were 1. For example: x: 10001101 y: 01010111 x & y: 00000101 The OR (|) operator (also known as Inclusive Or) will result in a 1 at each bit position where either input values were 1. For example: x: 10001101 y: 01010111 x | y: 11011111 The Left Shift (<<) operator will shift a value to the left the specified number of times. For example: y = 1010 x = y << 1 yields: x = 0100 All the bits in the byte get shifted one position to the left and the bit on the left end drops off. The Right Shift (>>) operator works identically to left shift except that it shifts the value to the right the specified number of times For example: y = 1010 x = y >> 1 yields: x = 0101 All the bits in the byte get shifted one position to the right and the bit on the right end drops off. For a practical example, let's take the value 170, binary 10101010. To pulse this value out of pin 7 the code might look as follows: byte transmit = 7; //define our transmit pin byte data = 170; //value to transmit, binary 10101010 byte mask = 1; //our bitmask byte bitDelay = 100; void setup() { pinMode(transmit,OUTPUT); } void loop() { for (mask = 00000001; mask>0; mask <<= 1) { //iterate through bit mask if (data & mask){ // if bitwise AND resolves to true digitalWrite(transmit,HIGH); // send 1 } search
- 413. else{ //if bitwise and resolves to false digitalWrite(transmit,LOW); // send 0 } delayMicroseconds(bitDelay); //delay } } Here we use a FOR loop to iterate through a bit mask value, shifting the value one position left each time through the loop. In this example we use the <<= operator which is exactly like the << operator except that it compacts the statement mask = mask << 1 into a shorter line. We then perform a bitwise AND operation on the value and the bitmask. This way as the bitmask shifts left through each position in the byte it will be compared against each bit in the byte we are sending sequentially and can then be used to set our output pin either high or low accordingly. So in this example, first time through the loop the mask = 00000001 and the value = 10101010 so our operation looks like: 00000001 & 10101010 ________ 00000000 And our output pin gets set to 0. Second time throught he loop the mask = 00000010, so our operation looks like: 00000010 & 10101010 ________ 00000010 And our output pin gets set to 1. The loop will continue to iterate through each bit in the mask until the 1 gets shifted left off the end of the 8 bits and our mask =0. Then all 8 bits have been sent and our loop exits.

- 431. Decide which pins you want to use for transmitting and receiving. In this example we will use pin 7 for transmitting and pin 6 for receiving, but any of the digital pins should work. Program the Arduino Now we will write the code to enable serial data communication. This program will simply wait for a character to arrive in the serial recieving port and then spit it back out in uppercase out the transmit port. This is a good general purpose serial debugging program and you should be able to extrapolate from this example to cover all your basic serial needs. We will walk through the code in small sections. #include <ctype.h> #define bit9600Delay 84 #define halfBit9600Delay 42 #define bit4800Delay 188 #define halfBit4800Delay 94 Here we set up our pre-processor directives. Pre-processor directives are processed before the actual compilation begins. They start with a "#" and do not end with semi-colons. First we include the file ctype.h in our application. This gives us access to the toupper() function from the Character Operations C library which we will use later in our main loop. This library is part of the Arduino install, so
- 432. you don't need to do anything other than type the #include line in order to use it. Next we establish our baudrate delay definitions. These are pre-processor directives that define the delays for different baudrates. The #define bit9600Delay 84 line causes the compiler to substitute the number 84 where ever it encounters the label "bit9600Delay". Pre-processor definitions are often used for constants because they don't take up any program memory space on the chip. byte rx = 6; byte tx = 7; byte SWval; Here we set our transmit (tx) and recieve (rx) pins. Change the pin numbers to suit your application. We also allocate a variable to store our recieved data in, SWval. void setup() { pinMode(rx,INPUT); pinMode(tx,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(tx,HIGH); digitalWrite(13,HIGH); //turn on debugging LED SWprint('h'); //debugging hello SWprint('i'); SWprint(10); //carriage return } Here we initialize the lines, turn on our debugging LED and print a debugging message to confirm all is working as planned. We can pass inidvidual characters or numbers to the SWprint function. void SWprint(int data) { byte mask; //startbit digitalWrite(tx,LOW); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); for (mask = 0x01; mask>0; mask <<= 1) { if (data & mask){ // choose bit digitalWrite(tx,HIGH); // send 1 } else{ digitalWrite(tx,LOW); // send 0 } delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); } //stop bit digitalWrite(tx, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); } This is the SWprint function. First the transmit line is pulled low to signal a start bit. Then we itterate through a bit mask and flip the output pin high or low 8 times for the 8 bits in the value to be transmitted. Finally we pull the line high again to signal a stop bit. For each bit we transmit we hold the line high or low for the specified delay. In this example we are using a 9600 baudrate. To use 4800 simply replace the variable bit9600Delay with bit4800Delay. int SWread() { byte val = 0; while (digitalRead(rx)); //wait for start bit if (digitalRead(rx) == LOW) { delayMicroseconds(halfBit9600Delay); for (int offset = 0; offset < 8; offset++) { delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); val |= digitalRead(rx) << offset; } //wait for stop bit + extra delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); delayMicroseconds(bit9600Delay); return val; } } This is the SWread function. This will wait for a byte to arrive on the recieve pin and then return it to the allocated variable. First we wait for the recieve line to be pulled low. We check after a half bit delay to make sure the line is
- 433. still low and we didn't just recieve line noise. Then we iterate through a bit mask and shift 1s or 0s into our output byte based on what we recieve. Finally we allow a pause for the stop bit and then return the value. void loop() { SWval = SWread(); SWprint(toupper(SWval)); } Finally we implement our main program loop. In this program we simply wait for characters to arrive, change them to uppercase and send them back. This is always a good program to run when you want to make sure a serial connection is working properly. For lots of fun serial devices check out the Sparkfun online catalog.

A register is just a byte of microcontroller memory that can be read from or written to. Registers generally serve three purposes, control, data and status. Control registers code control settings for various microcontroller functionalities. Usually each bit in a control register effects a particular setting, such as speed or polarity. Data registers simply hold bytes. For example, the SPI data register (SPDR) holds the byte which is about to be shifted out the MOSI line, and the data which has just been shifted in the MISO line. Status registers change their state based on various microcontroller conditions. For example, the seventh bit of the SPI status register (SPSR) gets set to 1 when a value is shifted in or out of the SPI. The SPI control register (SPCR) has 8 bits, each of which control a particular SPI setting.

EEPROM chips such as this are very useful for data storage, and the steps we will cover for implementing SPI communication can be modified for use with most other SPI devices. Note that the chip on the Arduino board contains an internal EEPROM, so follow this tutorial only if you need more space than it provides. Materials Needed: AT25HP512 Serial EEPROM chip (or similar) Hookup wire Arduino Microcontroller Module Introduction to the Serial Peripheral Interface Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data protocol used by Microcontrollers for communicating with one or more peripheral devices quickly over short distances. It can also be used for communication between two microcontrollers. With an SPI connection there is always one master device (usually a microcontroller) which controls the peripheral devices. Typically there are three lines common to all the devices, Master In Slave Out (MISO) - The Slave line for sending data to the master, Master Out Slave In (MOSI) - The Master line for sending data to the peripherals, Serial Clock (SCK) - The clock pulses which synchronize data transmission generated by the master, and Slave Select pin - allocated on each device which the master can use to enable and disable specific devices and avoid false transmissions due to line noise. The difficult part about SPI is that the standard is loose and each device implements it a little differently. This means you have to pay special attention to the datasheet when writing your interface code. Generally speaking there are three modes of transmission numbered 0 - 3. These modes control whether data is shifted in and out on the rising or falling edge of the data clock signal, and whether the clock is idle when high or low. All SPI settings are determined by the Arduino SPI Control Register (SPCR). A register is just a byte of microcontroller memory that can be read from or written to. Registers generally serve three purposes, control, data and status. Control registers code control settings for various microcontroller functionalities. Usually each bit in a control register effects a particular setting, such as speed or polarity. Data registers simply hold bytes. For example, the SPI data register (SPDR) holds the byte which is about to be shifted out the MOSI line, and the data which has just been shifted in the MISO line. Status registers change their state based on various microcontroller conditions. For example, the seventh bit of the SPI status register (SPSR) gets set to 1 when a value is shifted in or out of the SPI. The SPI control register (SPCR) has 8 bits, each of which control a particular SPI setting. SPCR | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | SPIE | SPE | DORD | MSTR | CPOL | CPHA | SPR1 | SPR0 | SPIE - Enables the SPI interrupt when 1 SPE - Enables the SPI when 1 DORD - Sends data least Significant Bit First when 1, most Significant Bit first when 0 MSTR - Sets the Arduino in master mode when 1, slave mode when 0 CPOL - Sets the data clock to be idle when high if set to 1, idle when low if set to 0
- 487. CPHA - Samples data on the falling edge of the data clock when 1, rising edge when 0 SPR1 and SPR0 - Sets the SPI speed, 00 is fastest (4MHz) 11 is slowest (250KHz) This means that to write code for a new SPI device you need to note several things and set the SPCR accordingly: Is data shifted in MSB or LSB first? Is the data clock idle when high or low? Are samples on the rising or falling edge of clock pulses? What speed is the SPI running at? Once you have your SPI Control Register set correctly you just need to figure out how long you need to pause between instructions and you are ready to go. Now that you have a feel for how SPI works, let's take a look at the details of the EEPROM chip. Introduction to Serial EEPROM The AT25HP512 is a 65,536 byte serial EEPROM. It supports SPI modes 0 and 3, runs at up to 10MHz at 5v and can run at slower speeds down to 1.8v. It's memory is organized as 512 pages of 128 bytes each. It can only be written 128 bytes at a time, but it can be read 1-128 bytes at a time. The device also offers various degerees of write protection and a hold pin, but we won't be covering those in this tutorial. The device is enabled by pulling the Chip Select (CS) pin low. Instructions are sent as 8 bit operational codes (opcodes) and are shifted in on the rising edge of the data clock. It takes the EEPROM about 10 milliseconds to write a page (128 bytes) of data, so a 10ms pause should follow each EEPROM write routine. Prepare the Breadboard Insert the AT25HP512 chip into the breadboard. Connect 5V power and ground from the breadboard to 5V power and ground from the microcontroller. Connect EEPROM pins 3, 7 and 8 to 5v and pin 4 to ground.

SS wire is white, MISO wire is yellow, MOSI wire is blue, SCK wire is green Program the Arduino Now we will write the code to enable SPI communication between the EEPROM and the Arduino. In the setup routine this program fills 128 bytes, or one page of the EEPROM with data. In the main loop it reads that data back out, one byte at a time and prints that byte out the built in serial port. We will walk through the code in small sections. The first step is setting up our pre-processor directives. Pre-processor directives are processed before the actual compilation begins. They start with a "#" and do not end with semi-colons. We define the pins we will be using for our SPI connection, DATAOUT, DATAIN, SPICLOCK and SLAVESELECT. Then we define our opcodes for the EEPROM. Opcodes are control commands: #define DATAOUT 11//MOSI
- 489. #define DATAIN 12//MISO #define SPICLOCK 13//sck #define SLAVESELECT 10//ss //opcodes #define WREN 6 #define WRDI 4 #define RDSR 5 #define WRSR 1 #define READ 3 #define WRITE 2 Here we allocate the global variables we will be using later in the program. Note char buffer [128];. this is a 128 byte array we will be using to store the data for the EEPROM write: byte eeprom_output_data; byte eeprom_input_data=0; byte clr; int address=0; //data buffer char buffer [128]; First we initialize our serial connection, set our input and output pin modes and set the SLAVESELECT line high to start. This deselects the device and avoids any false transmission messages due to line noise: void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT); pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT); pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT); pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device Now we set the SPI Control register (SPCR) to the binary value 01010000. In the control register each bit sets a different functionality. The eighth bit disables the SPI interrupt, the seventh bit enables the SPI, the sixth bit chooses transmission with the most significant bit going first, the fifth bit puts the Arduino in Master mode, the fourth bit sets the data clock idle when it is low, the third bit sets the SPI to sample data on the rising edge of the data clock, and the second and first bits set the speed of the SPI to system speed / 4 (the fastest). After setting our control register up we read the SPI status register (SPSR) and data register (SPDR) in to the junk clr variable to clear out any spurious data from past runs: // SPCR = 01010000 //interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle, //sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest) SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR); clr=SPSR; clr=SPDR; delay(10); Here we fill our data array with numbers and send a write enable instruction to the EEPROM. The EEPROM MUST be write enabled before every write instruction. To send the instruction we pull the SLAVESELECT line low, enabling the device, and then send the instruction using the spi_transfer function. Note that we use the WREN opcode we defined at the beginning of the program. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release it: //fill buffer with data fill_buffer(); //fill eeprom w/ buffer digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WREN); //write enable digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); Now we pull the SLAVESELECT line low to select the device again after a brief delay. We send a WRITE instruction to tell the EEPROM we will be sending data to record into memory. We send the 16 bit address to begin writing at in two bytes, Most Significant Bit first. Next we send our 128 bytes of data from our buffer array, one byte after another without pause. Finally we set the SLAVESELECT pin high to release the device and pause to allow the EEPROM to write the data:
- 490. delay(10); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WRITE); //write instruction address=0; spi_transfer((char)(address>>8)); //send MSByte address first spi_transfer((char)(address)); //send LSByte address //write 128 bytes for (int I=0;I<128;I++) { spi_transfer(buffer[I]); //write data byte } digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip //wait for eeprom to finish writing delay(3000); We end the setup function by sending the word "hi" plus a line feed out the built in serial port for debugging purposes. This way if our data comes out looking funny later on we can tell it isn't just the serial port acting up: Serial.print('h',BYTE); Serial.print('i',BYTE); Serial.print('n',BYTE);//debug delay(1000); } In our main loop we just read one byte at a time from the EEPROM and print it out the serial port. We add a line feed and a pause for readability. Each time through the loop we increment the eeprom address to read. When the address increments to 128 we turn it back to 0 because we have only filled 128 addresses in the EEPROM with data: void loop() { eeprom_output_data = read_eeprom(address); Serial.print(eeprom_output_data,DEC); Serial.print('n',BYTE); address++; delay(500); //pause for readability } The fill_buffer function simply fills our data array with numbers 0 - 127 for each index in the array. This function could easily be changed to fill the array with data relevant to your application: void fill_buffer() { for (int I=0;I<128;I++) { buffer[I]=I; } } The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission. It polls a bit to the SPI Status register (SPSR) to detect when the transmission is complete using a bit mask, SPIF. An explanation of bit masks can be found here. It then returns any data that has been shifted in to the data register by the EEPROM: char spi_transfer(volatile char data) { SPDR = data; // Start the transmission while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait for the end of the transmission { }; return SPDR; // return the received byte } The read_eeprom function allows us to read data back out of the EEPROM. First we set the SLAVESELECT line low to enable the device. Then we transmit a READ instruction, followed by the 16-bit address we wish to read from, Most Significant Bit first. Next we send a dummy byte to the EEPROM for the purpose of shifting the data out. Finally we pull the SLAVESELECT line high again to release the device after reading one byte, and return the data. If we wanted to read multiple bytes at a time we could hold the SLAVESELECT line low while we repeated the data = spi_transfer(0xFF); up to 128 times for a full page of data: byte read_eeprom(int EEPROM_address) {
- 491. //READ EEPROM int data; digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(READ); //transmit read opcode spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address>>8)); //send MSByte address first spi_transfer((char)(EEPROM_address)); //send LSByte address data = spi_transfer(0xFF); //get data byte digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //release chip, signal end transfer return data; } For easy copy and pasting the full program text of this tutorial is below: #define DATAOUT 11//MOSI #define DATAIN 12//MISO #define SPICLOCK 13//sck #define SLAVESELECT 10//ss //opcodes #define WREN 6 #define WRDI 4 #define RDSR 5 #define WRSR 1 #define READ 3 #define WRITE 2 byte eeprom_output_data; byte eeprom_input_data=0; byte clr; int address=0; //data buffer char buffer [128]; void fill_buffer() { for (int I=0;I<128;I++) { buffer[I]=I; } } char spi_transfer(volatile char data) { SPDR = data; // Start the transmission while (!(SPSR & (1<<SPIF))) // Wait the end of the transmission { }; return SPDR; // return the received byte } void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(DATAOUT, OUTPUT); pinMode(DATAIN, INPUT); pinMode(SPICLOCK,OUTPUT); pinMode(SLAVESELECT,OUTPUT); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); //disable device // SPCR = 01010000 //interrupt disabled,spi enabled,msb 1st,master,clk low when idle, //sample on leading edge of clk,system clock/4 rate (fastest) SPCR = (1<<SPE)|(1<<MSTR); clr=SPSR; clr=SPDR; delay(10); //fill buffer with data fill_buffer(); //fill eeprom w/ buffer digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WREN); //write enable digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,HIGH); delay(10); digitalWrite(SLAVESELECT,LOW); spi_transfer(WRITE); //write instruction address=0; spi_transfer((char)(address>>8)); //send MSByte address first spi_transfer((char)(address)); //send LSByte address //write 128 bytes

We pause for 10 milliseconds each iteration to make the steps visible. This causes the LEDs to sequentially flash on brightly and then fade out slowly: void loop() { write_pot(pot,resistance); delay(10); resistance++; if (resistance==255) { pot++; } if (pot==6) { pot=0; } } The spi_transfer function loads the output data into the data transmission register, thus starting the SPI transmission.

Using the shift register to supply power like this is called sourcing current. Some shift registers can't source current, they can only do what is called sinking current.

This means you can transmit 16 bits in a row (2 bytes) and the first 8 will flow through the first register into the second register and be expressed there. You can learn to do that from the second example. The 3 states refers to the fact that you can set the output pins as either high, low or “high impedance.” When you set a pin set high by sending a 1 bit to that address, it will output whatever voltage you have connected to the Vcc pin. When you set low it will output zero volts (Vss). When a pin is in a high impedance state, the shift register isn’t actively set to either a high or low voltage. High impedance is meant to be a type of blank state so if you wanted to have the outputs attached to one register controlled by, for example, a second register attached in parallel to the original circuit you could do so without competition. Think of an LED array that might need to be controlled by different microcontrollers depending on a mode built into your project. Unlike the HIGH and LOW states, you can’t set pins to their high impedance state individually, you can only set the whole chip together. You’d do this by setting the Output-Enable (pin 13) HIGH and the Master-Reclear (pin) LOW. Neither example takes advantage of this feature, and it is a pretty specialized thing to do, so you don’t need to spend a lot of time on it now.

This example is based on the 74HC595. The datasheet refers to the 74HC595 as an “8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with output latches; 3-state.” In other words, you can use it to control 8 outputs at a time while only taking up a few pins on your microcontroller.

- 560. Arduino : Tutorial / Shift Out Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Serial to Parallel Shifting-Out with a 74HC595 Started by Carlyn Maw and Tom Igoe Nov, 06 Shifting Out & the 595 chip At sometime or another you may run out of pins on your Arduino board and need to extend it with shift registers. This example is based on the 74HC595. The datasheet refers to the 74HC595 as an “8-bit serial-in, serial or parallel-out shift register with output latches; 3-state.” In other words, you can use it to control 8 outputs at a time while only taking up a few pins on your microcontroller. You can link multiple registers together to extend your output even more. (Users may also wish to search for other driver chips with "595" or "596" in their part numbers, there are many. The STP16C596 for example will drive 16 LED's and eliminates the series resistors with built-in constant current sources.) How this all works is through something called “synchronous serial communication,” i.e. you can pulse one pin up and down thereby communicating a data byte to the register bit by bit. It's by pulsing second pin, the clock pin, that you delineate between bits. This is in contrast to using the “asynchronous serial communication” of the Serial.begin() function which relies on the sender and the receiver to be set independently to an agreed upon specified data rate. Once the whole byte is transmitted to the register the HIGH or LOW messages held in each bit get parceled out to each of the individual output pins. This is the “parallel output” part, having all the pins do what you want them to do all at once. The “serial output” part of this component comes from its extra pin which can pass the serial information received from the microcontroller out again unchanged. This means you can transmit 16 bits in a row (2 bytes) and the first 8 will flow through the first register into the second register and be expressed there. You can learn to do that from the second example. “3 states” refers to the fact that you can set the output pins as either high, low or “high impedance.” Unlike the HIGH and LOW states, you can’t set pins to their high impedance state individually. You can only set the whole chip together. This is a pretty specialized thing to do -- Think of an LED array that might need to be controlled by completely different microcontrollers depending on a specific mode setting built into your project. Neither example takes advantage of this feature and you won’t usually need to worry about getting a chip that has it. Here is a table explaining the pin-outs adapted from the Phillip's datasheet. PINS 1-7, 15 Q0 – Q7 Output Pins PIN 8 GND Ground, Vss PIN 9 Q7’ Serial Out PIN 10 MR Master Reclear, active low PIN 11 SH_CP Shift register clock pin PIN 12 ST_CP Storage register clock pin (latch pin) PIN 13 OE Output enable, active low PIN 14 DS Serial data input PIN 16 Vcc Positive supply voltage
- 561. Example 1: One Shift Register The first step is to extend your Arduino with one shift register. The Circuit 1. Turning it on Make the following connections: GND (pin 8) to ground, Vcc (pin 16) to 5V OE (pin 13) to ground MR (pin 10) to 5V This set up makes all of the output pins active and addressable all the time. The one flaw of this set up is that you end up with the lights turning on to their last state or something arbitrary every time you first power up the circuit before the program starts to run. You can get around this by controlling the MR and OE pins from your Arduino board too, but this way will work and leave you with more open pins. 2. Connect to Arduino DS (pin 14) to Ardunio DigitalPin 11 (blue wire) SH_CP (pin 11) to to Ardunio DigitalPin 12 (yellow wire) ST_CP (pin 12) to Ardunio DigitalPin 8 (green wire) From now on those will be refered to as the dataPin, the clockPin and the latchPin respectively. Notice the 0.1µf capacitor on the latchPin, if you have some flicker when the latch pin pulses you can use a capacitor to even it out.
- 562. 3. Add 8 LEDs. In this case you should connect the cathode (short pin) of each LED to a common ground, and the anode (long pin) of each LED to its respective shift register output pin. Using the shift register to supply power like this is called sourcing current. Some shift registers can't source current, they can only do what is called sinking current. If you have one of those it means you will have to flip the direction of the LEDs, putting the anodes directly to power and the cathodes (ground pins) to the shift register outputs. You should check the your specific datasheet if you aren’t using a 595 series chip. Don’t forget to add a 220-ohm resistor in series to protect the LEDs from being overloaded. Circuit Diagram
- 563. 595 Logic Table 595 Timing Diagram The Code Here are three code examples. The first is just some “hello world” code that simply outputs a byte value from 0 to 255. The second program lights one LED at a time. The third cycles through an array. The code is based on two pieces of information in the datasheet: the timing diagram and the logic table. The logic table is what tells you that basically everything important happens on an up beat. When the clockPin goes from low to high, the shift register reads the state of the data pin. As the data gets shifted in it is saved in an internal memory register. When the latchPin goes from low to high the sent data gets moved from the shift registers aforementioned memory register into the output pins, lighting the LEDs. Code Sample 1.1 – Hello World Code Sample 1.2 – One by One Code Sample 1.3 – from Defined Array Example 2 In this example you’ll add a second shift register, doubling the number of output pins you have while still using the same number of pins from the Arduino. The Circuit 1. Add a second shift register.
- 564. Starting from the previous example, you should put a second shift register on the board. It should have the same leads to power and ground. 2. Connect the 2 registers. Two of these connections simply extend the same clock and latch signal from the Arduino to the second shift register (yellow and green wires). The blue wire is going from the serial out pin (pin 9) of the first shift register to the serial data input (pin 14) of the second register. 3. Add a second set of LEDs. In this case I added green ones so when reading the code it is clear which byte is going to which set of LEDs
- 565. Circuit Diagram
- 566. The Code Here again are three code samples. If you are curious, you might want to try the samples from the first example with this circuit set up just to see what happens. Code Sample 2.1 – Dual Binary Counters There is only one extra line of code compared to the first code sample from Example 1. It sends out a second byte. This forces the first shift register, the one directly attached to the Arduino, to pass the first byte sent through to the second register, lighting the green LEDs. The second byte will then show up on the red LEDs. Code Sample 2.2 – 2 Byte One By One Comparing this code to the similar code from Example 1 you see that a little bit more has had to change. The blinkAll() function has been changed to the blinkAll_2Bytes() function to reflect the fact that now there are 16 LEDs to control. Also, in version 1 the pulsings of the latchPin were situated inside the subfunctions lightShiftPinA and lightShiftPinB(). Here they need to be moved back into the main loop to accommodate needing to run each
- 567. subfunction twice in a row, once for the green LEDs and once for the red ones. Code Sample 2.3 - Dual Defined Arrays Like sample 2.2, sample 2.3 also takes advantage of the new blinkAll_2bytes() function. 2.3's big difference from sample 1.3 is only that instead of just a single variable called “data” and a single array called “dataArray” you have to have a dataRED, a dataGREEN, dataArrayRED, dataArrayGREEN defined up front. This means that line data = dataArray[j]; becomes dataRED = dataArrayRED[j]; dataGREEN = dataArrayGREEN[j]; and shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, data); becomes shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, dataGREEN); shiftOut(dataPin, clockPin, dataRED); (Printable View of http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/ShiftOut)

- 632. Arduino Buy | Download | Getting Started | Learning | Reference | Hardware | FAQ Blog » | Forum » | Playground » Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links Time Since Start A sketch to illustrate keeping track of real world time since the board was started or reset. The sketch is based on the millis() function, which returns the number of milliseconds since the Freeduino was reset. One problem with millis() is that the unsigned long variable it returns will overflow every 9.3 hours. If this overflow is not managed, math in a sketch will break. Re: Millis Rollover Workaround Reply #1 - 06.09.2007 at 01:06:47 Quote You can access it by putting: extern unsigned long timer0_overflow_count; at the top of your sketch. However, there's probably a better way to deal with the overflow. For example, if you just need to be able to get the duration between multiple calls to millis(), you should be able to do a millis() - previous_millis (which should work past the rollover). Or, you could do something like: current_millis_value = millis(); m += current_millis_value - previous_millis_value; // should work even when millis rolls over seconds += m / 1000; m = m % 1000; minutes += seconds / 60; seconds = seconds % 60; hours += minutes / 60; minutes = minutes % 60; previous_millis_value = current_millis_value; Edit Page | Page History | Printable View | All Recent Site Changes search

Each pin has an internal pull-up resistor which can be turned on and off using digitalWrite() (w/ a value of HIGH or LOW, respectively) when the pin is configured as an input. The maximum current per pin is 40 mA. search
- 697. Serial: 0 (RX) and 1 (TX). Used to receive (RX) and transmit (TX) TTL serial data. On the Arduino Diecimila, these pins are connected to the corresponding pins of the FTDI USB-to-TTL Serial chip. On the Arduino BT, they are connected to the corresponding pins of the WT11 Bluetooth module. On the Arduino Mini and LilyPad Arduino, they are intended for use with an external TTL serial module (e.g. the Mini-USB Adapter). External Interrupts: 2 and 3. These pins can be configured to trigger an interrupt on a low value, a rising or falling edge, or a change in value. See the attachInterrupt() function for details. PWM: 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11. Provide 8-bit PWM output with the analogWrite() function. On boards with an ATmega8, PWM output is available only on pins 9, 10, and 11. BT Reset: 7. (Arduino BT-only) Connected to the reset line of the bluetooth module. SPI: 10 (SS), 11 (MOSI), 12 (MISO), 13 (SCK). These pins support SPI communication, which, although provided by the underlying hardware, is not currently included in the Arduino language. LED: 13. On the Diecimila and LilyPad, there is a built-in LED connected to digital pin 13. When the pin is HIGH value, the LED is on, when the pin is LOW, it's off. Analog Pins In addition to the specific functions listed below, the analog input pins support 10-bit analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) using the analogRead() function. Most of the analog inputs can also be used as digital pins: analog input 0 as digital pin 14 through analog input 5 as digital pin 19. Analog inputs 6 and 7 (present on the Mini and BT) cannot be used as digital pins. I2 C: 4 (SDA) and 5 (SCL). Support I2 C (TWI) communication using the Wire library (documentation on the Wiring website). Power Pins VIN (sometimes labelled "9V"). The input voltage to the Arduino board when it's using an external power source (as opposed to 5 volts from the USB connection or other regulated power source). You can supply voltage through this pin, or, if supplying voltage via the power jack, access it through this pin. Note that different boards accept different input voltages ranges, please see the documentation for your board. Also note that the LilyPad has no VIN pin and accepts only a regulated input. 5V. The regulated power supply used to power the microcontroller and other components on the board. This can come either from VIN via an on-board regulator, or be supplied by USB or another regulated 5V supply. 3V3. (Diecimila-only) A 3.3 volt supply generated by the on-board FTDI chip. GND. Ground pins. Other Pins AREF. Reference voltage for the analog inputs. Not currently supported by the Arduino software. Reset. (Diecimila-only) Bring this line LOW to reset the microcontroller. Typically used to add a reset button to shields which block the one on the board.
