As mentioned before, I love me some LEDs and have a particular fondness for the MegaBrites, powerful RGB modules that are easy to chain together. The only issue I encountered in using the hardware was with SPI support or, more specifically, lack thereof. On certain Arduino’s, like the very tiny Digispark, there is no hardware…
Druid4Arduino–an automatic/configuration-free graphical user interface for Arduino projects–has just been released as free software (under the GPL), with binary programs available for Windows and Linux. This software enables you to provide a GUI for your device or project without having to spend any time programming windows and buttons. You need only include the SerialUI…
Quick word to mention that SerialUI version 1.4 has been released. From the programming perspective, this update involves only a single change (the addition of a showEnterNumericDataPrompt() method, to provide more precise feedback than always using showEnterDataPrompt()). The most important thing is that the library now supports a mode specifically designed to aid interaction with…
I have a little Arduino project for which I’m going to provide a nice graphical interface. As is my custom, I chose to implement everything using my Linux development environments but made it a point to choose powerful tools that are designed to be cross-platform. It’s a drag to do things over just because your…
Ever want to easily configure, and get feedback from, an Arduino-based project? If you want to allow a user to simply connect to your device and retrieve information or give commands dynamically–without the need to re-program the Arduino–then SerialUI may be just what you need! SerialUI allows you to setup a hierarchy of menus,…
