In an earlier article, we have seen how PWM can be set on Arduino Uno using the analogWrite() function. Pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11 of Arduino Uno can support PWM. The frequency of the square wave is 490 Hz (about 2 ms time period) on all pins except ... Read More

The Arduino Uno board looks like the following −As you can see, the pins are broadly divided into 3 sections. Two sections at the bottom of the image, and one at the top.Let us look at the bottom sections.Section 1The first section contains power pins.The Vin pin can be used ... Read More

In this tutorial, we will create a new file in an SD Card connected to Arduino Uno.Circuit DiagramThe circuit diagram is shown below −As you can see, you need to make the following connections −SD Card HolderArduino UnoVcc5VGNDGNDMISO12MOSI11SCK13CS10Only for the Vcc, make sure that your SD Card Holder takes 5V ...

In this tutorial, we will, as the title suggests, see how to append to a file in and SD Card connected to Arduino. Actually, it is quite simple. If you have gone through any previous articles on SD Card, then you only need to know thatmyFile = SD.open("example.txt", FILE_WRITE);opens example.txt ... Read More

In this tutorial, we will connect our Arduino Uno to an SD Card and extract the card info.Circuit DiagramThe circuit diagram is shown below −As you can see, you need to make the following connections −SD Card HolderArduino UnoVcc5VGNDGNDMISO12MOSI11SCK13CS10Only for the Vcc, make sure that your SD Card Holder takes ...

A problem faced by several people using Arduino, or any microcontroller board for that matter, is that you may forget to start the Serial Monitor before programming the board, and miss some print statements by the time you open the Serial Monitor.One way to overcome this is to start the ...

It may happen that a string may change length dynamically during the execution of a program.If you want to ensure that there is always enough memory available for your string, you can reserve some memory using the reserve() function.SyntaxString1.reserve(n_bytes);Where String1 is the string for which you are reserving memory, and n_bytes (unsigned ...

Arduino has an inbuilt compareTo() function that helps compare which string comes before another. Very crudely, you can think of it as this: if you are given two strings, which one will come first in a dictionary.SyntaxString1.compareTo(String2)Where String1 and String2 are the two strings to be compared. This function returns an ... Read More
