It is important to understand how SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) works in the embedded world because SPI is widely used deep inside embedded systems, ranging from sensor connection, to SD card interface, to even between the flash memory and its MCU. Continue reading "Do you know Arduino? – SPI and Arduino SPI Library"
On previous article, I wrote an Arduino sketch for interfacing LCD 5110 display module with Arduino, it is not an Arduino library that can be distributed and share with others yet. In this article, I will explain how to create an Arduino library in 6 easy steps. Continue reading "How to create Arduino Library from Arduino Sketch"
In this article, I will briefly explain on how to create a Python class library to interface with LCD 5110 display module and shares the common APIs with the Arduino LCD5110 library that I previously created. Continue reading "How to use LCD 5110 (PCD 8544) with Raspberry Pi"
LCD 5110 (a.k.a. Nokia 5110 or PCD8544) display is a commonly available LCD module with SPI interface, by writing our own LCD driver based on its data sheet, we could learn a lot about how the LCD module works and how to write SPI program and save a lot of SRAM memory.
