In this blog post, I will show you a simple way of turning your Android phone into a wireless touchpad. For this to work all you need is your Android phone, an Arduino board and a HC-06 (or HC-05) bluetooth…
MCP3903 is a six channel Delta-Sigma A/D converter. It features six synchronous sampling differential channels which can be programmed to sample between 16 bit and 24 bit accuracy, the gain for each channel can also be programmatically set from 1…
LTC4151 is a high voltage I2C current and voltage monitor. It is capable of monitoring input voltage ranging from 7V to 80V with the onboard 12-bit ADC. It can also measure the high side current and an additional external voltage…
I upgraded my Code Composer Studio (CCS) to 5.2.1 a few days ago. An interesting thing I found out was that while building existing Lauchpad projects, I was receiving a “program will not fit into available memory” error:
Based on some user feedback, I have updated the Hex/Bin/Dec converter and calculator I created a couple of years ago. Added features include shortcut to clear all fields and additional calculations besides bits manipulations.
I have created a dedicated page for the MCP2210 library documentations. An link to the reference can also be found on the side navigation pane. The Doxygen generated project documentation can be viewed directly here.
During the past few weeks, I have shown many examples (see 1, 2, 3, 4) of using the open source MCP2210 Library with SPI devices under Linux. In this post, I will conclude this series with one more example: interfacing…
So far, I have shown examples of using the open source MCP2210 library with MCP2210 GPIO, MCP23S08 and TC77 temperature sensor. In this post, I will show an example of interfacing the chip with an SPI EEPROM using the library.
A couple of weeks ago, I showed an example of using the open source MCP2210 Library I created earlier to communicate with the MCP23S08 port expander under Linux. In this post, I will provide another example of using the library…
I made a few minor tweaks to the open source MCP2210 library during the past few days, and had also updated the documentation. In my previous post, I illustrated how to manipulate the GPIO pins using this library and today…
After a couple of weeks’ coding and testing, I finally finished the initial version of the MCP2210 C++ library for Linux. This library utilizes functions from Signal 11‘s HID API (hidraw) to communicate over the USB HID interface.
This post is programming related and has nothing to do with electronics. I have not written anything programming related topics lately, but this one is worth sharing as it is related to an rather obscure error.
A while back, I created an Arduino plugin for NetBeans so that I could use the full-fledged NetBeans IDE for all my Arduino projects. The approach I took was using the NetBeans project sample module method. Under the hood though,…

DS28EC20 is a 20Kb 1-Wire EEPROM chip from Maxim. Like all other 1-wire devices, only a single pin is needed for both power and communication. In this blog posting, I will show you how to how to communicate with DS28EC20…
