LCD Lessons: Windows Installation Guide Introduction to LCD LCD Serial LCD Local (No Arduino) Arduino & 2 Wires TWI In order to use your LCD module with Windows, you have to install the driver for it. You can download the driver from our TinkerKit LCD product page. Install the Arduino Software and the TKLCD library, following the guide on the dedicated page Download the driver from our TinkerKit LCD product page Once uncompressed, you should have a Tinkerkit Drivers folder. Locate the Arduino folder (where your Arduino software is installed). If you are not sure, find the Arduino icon, right...

When it is not convenient to work directly on the Raspberry Pi or when the Raspberry Pi doesn’t have a display attached to it (known as a headless Raspberry Pi), you can still work on it from another computer remotely. Remote Raspberry Pi Access using SSH (command line) The first option is to connect to the Raspberry Pi over SSH (Secure Shell). SSH allows you to remotely gain access to the command line of a Raspberry Pi from another computer over the network or the internet (if your network is setup for it). SSH only allow command line, not a...

ArduBlock is a programming interface designed to make programming with Arduino easier. Instead of writing code, ArduBlock allows you to visually program with blocks similar to Scratch. ArduBlock is an "add-on" to Arduino. As a result, the Arduino IDE is required. This allow ArduBlock to run on any platform (Windows, Mac, or Linux) because Arduino is multi-platform. Additionally, this allow an easy transition between ArduBlock and Arduino if you want to move from visual programming to text programming. NOTE: As of Arduino 1.6.12, the ArduBlock .jar from their official website no longer works due to a change in the Arduino IDE....

The HC-05 Bluetooth module (and related modules) is a very popular module for wireless communication due to its price and capabilities. In this article, we’ll talk about how to wire and setup the module for operation with an Arduino board. Wiring Most HC-05 modules require a 5V operating voltage. However, the TX/RX pins work at 3.3V. Although most modules have on-board current limiting circuit which allows the TX/RX pins to work with 5V signal, a 5V to 3.3V circuit (a simple voltage divider) at the Arduino TX pin is recommended. There are a few version of the HC-05 module in the...
