JOS – Open Source Menu Interface for Arduino/TFTLCD. ***UPDATE*** There is updated code that works with the current Adafruit libraries!
New post is here. So I ordered a 2.8″ TFTLCD with touchscreen from Adafruit and really wanted to do more than 1 “screenfull” of stuff. So I stayed up all night and wrote this. Now I want to share it. I was waiting to post this until I got my code a little cleaned up and put in a good number of comments. Here is a video about what this does. And here is a video about the code. JOS stands for Jeremy’s Operating System and is open source. Here is a feature List: Menu driven button screens 5 different menu screens, 6 buttons per screen for a total of 30 separate functions Customizable title bar for indicators, custom icons and titles Easily adjustable dual color signal indicator (for wireless application) for the title bar Home icon for easy navigation Dedicated message box for notifications PWM controlled adjustable backlight Settings menu with adjustable sleep time and backlight All LED activity used only 2 pins.
Windows. This document explains how to install the Arduino Software (IDE) on Windows machines Download the Arduino Software (IDE) Get the latest version from the download page.
You can choose between the Installer (.exe) and the Zip packages. We suggest you use the first one that installs directly everything you need to use the Arduino Software (IDE), including the drivers. With the Zip package you need to install the drivers manually. When the download finishes, proceed with the installation and please allow the driver installation process when you get a warning from the operating system. Choose the components to install Choose the installation directory (we suggest to keep the default one) The process will extract and install all the required files to execute properly the Arduino Software (IDE) Proceed with board specific instructions When the Arduino Software (IDE) is properly installed you can go back to the Getting Started Home and choose your board from the list on the right of the page.
Missing digital signature for driver on Windows 8. I have come up with an alternative method to install the Arduino drivers on Windows 8.This method does not require new driver files or installation of a test signature. 1.
Windows Key + R2. Enter shutdown.exe /r /o /f /t 003. Learning Arduino. Yesterday I posted a Rhythm Detection prototype which included a new library for measuring time intervals between events.
That prototype was a stepping stone to this more complex circuit which times the LED animation to the beat input by the user. Similar to the previous circuit, the user pushes a button to the beat. The code records the tap intervals and calculates the BPM, flashing an LED to the beat. The beat timing controls the animation of a 8x LED matrix managed through a basic Shift Register. I’ve separated out the patterns into a separate file, and although it took a bit of trial and error, I finally got the timing right. If you’re planing on building circuit, be sure to remember that your animation sequences need to be structured like the music you’re working with - so group sequences into four beats, etc.
The code uses two libraries: And details on the circuit can be found here. If you’re looking for the timing circuit only, the blog post is here. What you’ll need Sketch Code. 2.8'' TFT Touch Shield [SLD62445P] - $49.50. Is this compatible with the Leonardo? I saw on the wiki demo sketch here that there was a definition included for the Leonardo, but it does not work with mine. Only the backlight comes on. Thanks for your attention, the libraries of TFT v1 can't support leonardo, we will upgrade it later.Thanks. Answered by Jacket Chueng | 2014-02-11 Was this useful?
