You can read the state of a button using Arduino and a few lines of code. The actual state is shown in the Serial Monitor window as 0 or 1, 0 meaning the button is not pressed and 1 that the button is ...

An arduino library to handle multiple buttons on 1 single ADC input. Buttons should connected between the resistors of a serial resistor line (voltage divider). When no button pressed ADC shoul be ...

There are currently 3 unassigned analog arduino pins which can be used for additional buttons (3 analog A3, A4, A5). You could use these to connect a true analog stick, for example. All digital pins ...

There was a point in time, excruciatingly brief, in which desktop computers often had a large “TURBO” button on their front panel. Some even featured an LED display that would indicate the current CPU ...

As if you already weren’t agonizing over whether or not you should build your own arcade cabinet, add this one to the list of compelling reasons why you should dedicate an unreasonable amount of ...

As we have learnt in previous tutorials that the XBee module can act as a Coordinator, Router or an End device but it need to be configured to work in desired mode. So before using the XBee modules ...

The Arduino open-source platform is an excellent way to create your own home and hobby electronics projects from scratch. The logic boards sold under the Arduino brand are receptive to all kinds of ...

This is the simple method to setup serial communication between Arduino and MATLAB. Here we will simply send the data from MATLAB to the Arduino serially using command window and then Arduino read the ...

Sometimes, coding on the Arduino IDE is just not enough. Think about all the tools it’s missing: no spell check, no folders, no autocomplete. Sure, you can just program Arduino on an editor and then ...
