Independent LEDs Blinking

 using Arduino FreeRTOS, realtime multi tasking, :)

 I programmed LED on pin 2, 3, 4 and 13 to blink at its own time. The advantage of this Arduino FreeRTOS is we don't have to calculate the timing of each pin in respect of sequential execution. It's has its own task and schedule, independent of each other.

Can not Detect Arduino Nano on El Capitan?

It because the nano used CH341 usb to serial adapter that will not install because El Capitan enforces kext driver signing.

So, I trace the step from https://tzapu.com/making-ch340-ch341-serial-adapters-work-under-el-capitan-os-x/

...and it works again, :)

To disable kext signing:

- Reboot and press CMD+R immediately after the chime to enter Recovery Mode

- Open Terminal from Recovery mode

- run the command csrutil enable --without kext

- run the command reboot

Old Mechanical Keyboard KPT-102 on iPad

Old Clicky Mechanical Keyboard on iPad, using Arduino as PS/2 to HID signal converter, :)

I use the code from https://gist.github.com/DorianRudolph/ca283dfdfd185bc812b7

But, as I use OSX, I can'n do this

"To make the programs work you need to open the file hardware/arduino/avr/cores/arduino/USBAPI.h located in your Arduino folder and make the Keyboard_::sendReport method public.
"

To do that I open the Finder, go to Applications Folder right click Arduino App, select Show Package Content and adit Keyboard.h at /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/libraries/Keyboard/src

Update: I tucked the Arduino  Pro Micro inside keyboard, :)

ATTiny is ... well, tiny. Not very suitable to programed it on arduino. Nevertheless, I decided to do it.

Create ‘hardware’ folder in Arduino sketch folder, unzip the file.

Download the Smeezekitty core, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ard-core13/files/latest/download

Unzip it, copy the files, paste in …/hardware/attiny/avr/variants/core13/ (if folder didn’t exist, create it)

edit the boards.txt files at

avrdude give the error because my downloader need -B4 option (I installed new bootloader, flash it, remove auto sck, so the avrdude warning gone)

In order to be able to upload it to ATTiny13A, we have to edit the file.

Macintosh HD/Applications/Arduino/Contents/Java/Hardware/arduino/avr/programmers.txt

edit it

usbasp.name=USBasp
usbasp.communication=usb
usbasp.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.protocol=usbasp
usbasp.program.tool=avrdude
usbasp.program.extra_params=-Pusb -B4

start arduino IDE

it give firewall warning

so 

undo the edit or reinstall the arduino

create programmers.txt in the same folder with  boards.txt

Blink without delay,  

const int ledPin =  1;      // the number of the LED pin
int ledState = LOW;             // ledState used to set the LED
unsigned long previousMillis = 0;        // will store last time LED was updated
const long interval = 1000;           // interval at which to blink (milliseconds)
void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
  unsigned long currentMillis = millis();
  if(currentMillis - previousMillis >= interval) {
    previousMillis = currentMillis;   
    if (ledState == LOW)
      ledState = HIGH;
    else
      ledState = LOW;
    digitalWrite(ledPin, ledState);
  }
}

For some reason, the delay on LED seem longer than 1 s (but it worked).  Maybe it’s the same reason the blink example (with delay.) didn’t work

Adding Analog Sensor on My Arduino Nano LCD Project

 I add the code from previous project so it could read analog sensor from pin A0 and display it on second row LCD.

I use a potentiometer to emulate the sensor.

 So as result, this ATMEGA328 based device could:
- read digital sensor from pin 7, display it on second rowLCD
- if pin 7 is high, LED connected to pin 10 will turned on, otherwise it'll turned off
- communicate via bluetooth using dedicated serial port (RX= 8 , TX = 9)
- write any string sent from bluetooth to first row LCD
- read string length sent from bluetooth, display it on second row LCD.
- embedded LED connected to pin 13 is on if there's bluetooth serial communication

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

int t=1;
int i=1;

String info =":)";
void setup() {
  pinMode(7,INPUT);
  pinMode(6,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(10,OUTPUT);
  pinMode(13,OUTPUT);
  lcd.begin(16, 2);
  lcd.print(tulisan);
  mySerial.begin(9600);
  Serial.begin(9600);//port serial resmi
  delay(1000);
}


void loop() {
  //lcd.clear();
  if (digitalRead(7)==1){
    digitalWrite(10,HIGH);
  }else{
    digitalWrite(10,LOW);
  }
  if (mySerial.available()){
    digitalWrite(13,HIGH);
    while(mySerial.available()>0){

    }
  }

.

here my fritzing sketch (couldn't found the HC05 bluetooth module on partlist, :) )

Saya tambah dari proyek sebelumnya sehingga dapat membaca sensor analog dari pin A0 dan menampilkannya di LCD baris kedua.

Saya menggunakan potensiometer untuk mewakili sensornya.

Jadi, hasil akhir dari proyek ini adalah sebuah alat berbasis ATMega328 yang dapat:
- membaca sensor digital dari pin 7 dan menampilkannya di baris kedua LCD
- jika pin 7 high, LED yang terhubung ke pin 10 akan menyala, jika tidak LED tetap padam
- berkomunikasi via bluetooth menggunakan port serial tersendiri (RX=8, TX=9)
- menulis sebarang string yang dikirim dari bluetooth ke baris pertama LCD
- membaca panjang string yang dikirim lewat LCD dan menampilkannya di baris kedua LCD
- LED di board yang terhubung ke pin 13 menyala jika ada komunikasi serial via bluetooth

Agar output LCD hanya bagian atas saja yang scroll sedangkan yang baris kedua tetap diam.

Triknya adalah memberi LCD perintah scroll seperti biasa di arduino namun kita mengupdate posisi kursor di baris kedua agar tulisan selalu nampak di layar (dalam hal ini adalah string bernama 'info')

Read Digital Pin and Serial Message, Display it on LCD using Arduino

 In addition of my previous tinkering with LCD on arduino nano, I add a chunk of program to display the state of digital pin 7 on second row LCD.

I also remove the scroll command, package it as separate function but not called. I plan to using another scrolling method, some code without delay. (had it in mind, but still lazy to coding it, maybe next)

Menampilkan dan men-scroll text yang diketik menggunakan monitor serial di arduino nano.

Tantangannya adalah membaca serial data dan menyimpannya sebagai string. Di versi lama, kita harus membaca komunikai serial sebagai char yang tentu saja sangat merepotkan. Untungnya kita mempunyai perintah readString, :)

Arduino Nano Clone on OS X Yosemite

 After subconsciously try it on my debian machine about a week, now when I have a chance to write on arduino IDE on my Macbook, it wont upload the sketch, no port for nano.

installing FTDI driver didn't help because it use CH340G chip for com.

Grab the driver from http://www.wch.cn/downloads.php?name=pro&proid=178

install it

restart,

no change, :(

found out that we have to run this on terminal

sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1"

reboot,

yup, the life is easier again, :)

Mengirim Perintah ke Arduino Nano via Bluetooth

Fritzing, One Stop Apps for MicroController

We could write code in it, connecting parts on breadboard (or project-board), auto-route it to schematic and pcb layout (single or double layer).

It has several arduino board ready on parts section

Dengan Fritzing, kita bisa menulis kode mikrocontroler di sini, memasang komponen dan menyambung dengan kabel di project-board, kemudian me-route secara otomatis menjadi skematik seperti di EWB (Electronic Work Bench), routing otomahis juga dilakukan untuk menghasilkan layout PCB seperti di Protel (mendukung single dan double-layer)

Blink Without Delay Problem on Arduino

Well, not for all, but for me it becomes problem while turning led on using analogWrite command, some led just won’t completely shut down.

(Maybe it completely unrelated, but my analog reading on A0 is oscillating, very unstable)



I have the commands packed on a function

unsigned long t0 = 0;
const long dt = 1000;       
void blinkNoD(int pin) {
  unsigned long t = millis();
  if(t - t0 >= dt) {
    t0 = t;
    led=!led;   
    digitalWrite(pin, led);
  }
} 

Since I already have delay in loop, and it really messed with the timing (not mention that maybe the analog reading instability have anything to do with it), I decided to modify the blink code, still without delay command.

unsigned long t0 = 0;
const long dt = 1;       
void blinkNoD(int pin) {
  t0 += dt
  if(t0 >= 4) {
    t0 = 0;
    led=!led;   
    digitalWrite(pin, led);
  }
} 

It turned out that my analogRead instability is another problem, get to work on it, :)
