Grove Button Tutorial

-
The Grove Button is a handy little component which simplifies the push-button experience. It doesn't take much programming to get this component to work. And while the button works extremely well with the Grove Base Shield, we will be connecting this button directly to the Arduino UNO.

The button will be LOW in its normal resting state, and report HIGH when the button is pressed. Have a look at the video below to see this project in action.

 void setup(){
   pinMode(8, INPUT);
   pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
 }

 void loop(){
   digitalWrite(13, digitalRead(8));
 }

The signal pin of the Grove Button attaches to digital pin 8 on the Arduino, and the LED is connected to digital pin 13 on the Arduino. When the button is pressed, it will send a HIGH signal to digital pin 8, which will turn the LED on. When the button is released, the signal will change to LOW and the LED will turn off.

CH376S USB Read/Write module

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to store and retrieve data from a USB stick with an Arduino UNO? Most people choose SD cards to store their project data, but you may be surprised there IS a way! IC Station have a nice little module which allows you store and retrieve your Arduino (or other MCU) project data to a USB stick.   I am not too sure why USB storage is not widely used in Arduino projects? These modules are not expensive, they have been around for quite a while, and are relatively simple to use. You do not need any libraries to get them to work, however, I must say that documentation for this module is not that easy to find. This site and this document proved to be very useful in my endevour to get this module working, and I hope my tutorial below will help you get started and bridge some of the information gaps.   The...

All information within this post was provided by EasyEDA.     Description None of us could deny the fact that we would love with to play with LED’s and lighting stuff. I love to play with LED’s and create attractive lighting effects. This project was a result of such an attempt where I created a stunning RGB light effect using the popular development platform Arduino Nano. Let’s see the circuit, code and instruction on building this project:     Parts Required: An EasyEDA account (free) Arduino Nano (or compatible board) LED strip Dupont wire connectors Custom control board Image source: EasyEDA     Ardui...

FIVE MINUTE TUTORIAL Project Description: Sending Hex values to an Arduino UNO This simple tutorial will show you how to send Hexadecimal values from a computer to an Arduino Uno. The "Processing" programming language will be used to send the HEX values from the computer when a mouse button is pressed. The Arduino will use these values to adjust the brightness of an LED.   Learning Objectives To Send Hexadecimal (Hex) values from a computer to the Arduino Trigger an action based on the press of a mouse button Learn to create a simple Computer to Arduino interface Use Arduino's PWM capabilities to adjust brightness of an LED Learn to use Arduino's analogWrite() function Create a simple LED circuit...
