Bored of always typing in the same password over and over again? Luca designed a board to tackle just that problem. It’s a USB composite device, featuring both a USB keyboard emulator and a serial port. You program the letter … Read more
MegunoLink is a utility to create a communication link between PCs and serial port devices such as the Arduino. … useful tools that interact with an Arduino-style board (or other MCU with serial data). The software is called MegunoLink, from … Read more
Kevin entered a Detailed consumer IR capture with 74HCxx series chips for the Open 7400 Logic Competition: This is a CIR (Consumer IR / Remote Control) capture device built with 74HCxx series logic chips. It allows a computer to do … Read more
Chandler has posted this tutorial on Interfacing Arduino and Python as it relates to serial programming. For this tutorial, you will need (or at least it is helpful) to have a knowledge of the Python programming language. You will also … Read more
The MCP2200 is a new USB to serial converter chip from Microchip. Our MCP2200 breakout board brings all the pins to bread board friendly headers. USB CDC virtual serial port interface Secondary HID configuration interface Up to 8 additional IO … Read more
The tiny TK-1315LA GPS tracks up to 20 satellites, and runs from battery-friendly 3.3volts. Tayken demonstrates how to connect the Bus Pirate and get NMEA position data from the device.
This is a preview of an inexpensive, medium-speed AVR/PIC/CPLD/Arduino programmer. It’s designed for people who don’t own a programmer and just want to rescue a bricked PIC or AVR. The programmer uses the bitbang mode of a FT232R FTDI USB->serial … Read more
Edouard Lafargue let us republish his demonstration of a Noritake GU140x32-7002 Serial VFD screen (may prompt about a secure certificate). The Noritake VFD used here is a “Show and Tell” 140×32 semi-graphical VFD. This display has the big advantage of … Read more
Mike Donovan suggests that a USB version of Zibri’s Force Trainer interface hack could be done with a Bus Pirate. Substitute the MAX RS232 serial converter with a Bus Pirate in UART mode configured for 57600, 8/N/1 : “call it … Read more
The logic analyzer output above (top continues on the bottom) shows the Bus Pirate I2C address scan function. The Bus Pirate sends a DS1307 I2C read address. After the DS1307 ACKnowledges the address (bit 9), it immediately starts sending data … Read more
