How to Scroll a single LCD line – Arduino


https://www.electronics-lab.com/scroll-single-lcd-line/

R Jordan Kreindler show us how to scroll a single line on a LCD display. The Liquid Crystal Library has two quite useful functions scrollDisplayLeft() and scrollDisplayRight(). These functions scroll the whole display. That is, they scroll both lines on a 1602 LCD and all four lines on a 2004 LCD. What we often need […]

1.8″ DIY Photo Frame using and Arduino Nano and a ST7735 Color TFT display


https://www.electronics-lab.com/1-8-diy-photo-frame-using-arduino-nano-1-8-st7735-color-tft-display/

In this video educ8s.tv is  going to show us how to use the SD card slot of the popular 1.8″ Color TFT display which uses the ST7735 driver. Then we will save some bitmap images in the SD card and we will display them on the display. In other words, we will build a simple […]

In this video we learn how to drive the new, low cost big, 3.5″ Color TFT display for Arduino Uno and Mega. For the written tutorial please check here. A few weeks ago, I discovered this promising new display on Banggood.com and thought that it might be useful in some of our projects. The price […]

6 Digit Serial Display Driver with CAT4016


https://www.electronics-lab.com/6-digit-serial-display-driver-cat4016/

6 Digit serial display project has been designed around CAT4016 IC from ON semi. The CAT4016 is a 16 channel constant current driver for LED billboard and other general display applications. LED channel currents are programmed together via an external RSET resistor. Low output voltage operation on the LED channels as low as 0.4 V […]

This project is an Arduino shield able to measure ECG and respiration. The shield is equipped with a LCD display to show measured signal in real time. It’s based on ADS1292R ECG Front End from TI. Recently i made shield for arduino which can measure ECG, respiration, eventually after some changes in PCB and code, EEG and EMG. […]

Using Low Cost Hardware to Enhance the User Experience


https://www.electronics-lab.com/using-low-cost-hardware-to-enhance-the-user-experience/

Ken Boak discuss how to build a graphic user interface using cheap TFT toughscreen displays. This article is about using their lowcost graphics co-processor IC to provide a neat user interface for any low-end microcontroller. These days, when you can buy a 7″ tablet for $50, there is all the more reason for makers and hackers […]
