Or… How to get the most out of the limited memory on Arduino devices for image display — The c565 Image Format Or the compressed rgb565 image format is a lossless format that reduces the memory footprint of an image, yet displays quickly and correctly. A Brief Overview Of The Arduino Memory Model This, of course, depends on the Arduino model that you own. …

In the previous post, we discussed, how we could store and read single byte data to and from the EEPROM. Our example was based off on Arduino Platfrom. In this second part, we will look at how we can store a 2 byted signed integer into the EEPROM memory and…

Many a times while developing embedded applications, we require some data to be saved between hardware resets/ power cuts. This can be accomplished by using the EEPROM memory to store the data at runtime. EEPROM which stands for Electronically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory, is a type of non-volatile Read-Only Memory…

Air quality is crucial to human health and happiness. We breathe a significant amount of air every day, but we rarely pay attention to its quality. Due to pollution and other factors, indoor air quality may be much worse than we imagine. …

Running Python on Arduino — Firmata is a library from Arduino that allows us to control and communicate with Arduino using other programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, etc. Why do we need to use Firmata to control Arduino using Python? Standard Communication: Firmata provides a standard communication protocol between the computer and Arduino. This…

How I made a payphone that talks to the future. — Part of a series on prototyping with generative AI At a nondescript payphone booth in Chicago, at the corner of California and Fullerton, there’s a strange payphone that allows you to talk to a robot from the future. The Concept: I was inspired by Danny DeRuntz’ post Crit-Bot Hotline, in where he…

While working in Geremia, the talking skull, I needed to find a simple MP3 player that I could drive from the Arduino Leonardo board. An MP3 player was the simplest solution. A device that is easy to operate via a virtual serial port and not expensive. After some research, I…
