This first tutorial is the usual flashy LEDs example. We will be introducing the development board we use (its the QL200 PIC development board), we will be using the CCS …

In a previous example at arduino ds18b20 example we showed you a basic usage of a DS18B20 which outputted a temperature to the Serial output. A simple addition to the code …

The DS18B20 is a nice little temperature sensor that can be used in various simple projects.  This part uses the 1 wire bus and you can connect multiple sensors up to …

Another Arduino example, mainly again to demonstrate generating random numbers with a random seed. In this case we want a number between 0 and 16. Code /* Control lines */ …

Many moons ago I used to use the Til311 hexadecimal display quite frequently, it used to be a useful part to start experimenting building  basic microcontroller examples. As you can …

Here are some examples using the DIY LED baord we discussed earlier at http://www.getmicros.net/diy-led-board.php   Cycle all LEDs const int Led1 = 2; const int Led2 = 3; const int Led3 …

One of the best thing you can do when learning to create sketches is to create a custom LED board. Using this you can create many simple examples to help …

Another example using the LCD 4484s shield, this time I wanted a character on the display in a random location. This example allows us to look at generating random numbers. …

This is another example using the LCD4484 shield, this time put a character on the screen and then move it across the screen. Basic stuff but for beginners playing with …

This was another shield that grabbed my attention, this LCD was used on older nokia phones. Its fairly low cost and is a 48×48 display. It is able to display …
