One of the limitations of the small 8 bit microcontrollers like the Atmel ATMega family adopted by the Arduino board, is the reduced number of I/O ports. Among the main advantages of these ...

[Kaushlesh Chandel] prototyped a few projects on his Arduino that use an HD44780 Character LCD. Wanting to keep these projects in one piece, but not sacrifice his Arduino board, so he etched his own ...

This module will investigate creating an interactive side-scrolling game using an Arduino. It will also provide experience with advanced usage of the 16x2 LCD screen and its scrolling capabilities.

[Nakul] wanted to build a video game, and with a few projects worth of Arduino experience decided he could finally attain his goal. He used a character LCD display to make his game, and instead of a ...

Renesas Electronics has introduced the new 16-bit RL78/L23 microcontroller (MCU) group, expanding its low-power RL78 family.

As promised in the first part of this article, now it is time to see in detail how we can use the Alphanumeric LCD Display in our Arduino sketches. The idea beside this project is to give a simple ...

The MCUs come with SMS (SNOOZE Mode Sequencer), which allows dynamic LCD segment display without CPU intervention. By offloading tasks to the SMS, the devices minimise CPU wake-ups and contribute to ...
