By Bob Davis Jindex.php?/magazina/article/march201 are the default limits of the Arduino's analog- {o-igital converter (ADC)? To determine the base line limit, we need to record the time; take, let's say, 100 samples; then record the time once again. Then, we subtract the beginning time from the ending time to see how long it took to collect. those samples. In order to easily see what we are doing, le’s connect up an LCD screen. A 128x64 bit graphics screen is fairly cheap to buy, and is still able to display our data. The 128x64 LCDs typically sell for about $10 to $12 on eBay. Look for one with an 817920 driver IC. You can use other driver ICs by changing a line of code in the software. The 128x64 LCDs come in several sizes, and usualy have a blue or green backlight. The green backlight seems, to offer more contrast and makes it look more like a technical instrument. The larger 126x64 LCDs are 93 mm. x 70 mm in size, They have a screen viewing glass area that is 72 mm x 40 mm, The LCDs also come with a 40 NITSIVONS March 2014 F st, we need to establish a base line, What Post comments on this atile and find any agsociated files andlor downloads at www.nutsvols.com Admit it, we all like to do it — break the speed limit. Usually, it is just a little bit. Sometimes it just keeps getting worse until we get caught. The same thing applies to overclocking our computers. We keep pushing the limits until it fries. How fast can you push the tiny little Arduino? Well, let's take a look. ARDUINO FIGURE 1. Be fs 3 : °|) 128 x 64 ed : tcp ilje Ie! E variety of connectors. The best type to use is one that you can solder a 20-pin header onto and then plug it into a breadboard. The ST7920-based LCD needs eight data bits and three control lines to run it. It will also need five volts and ‘ground. You will need a variable resistor to set the contrast of the LCD. Figure 1 is the schematic diagram of how to connect the LCD screen to an Arduino Uno. Figure 2 shows what that should look like. Note that | have jumpers over the center barrier of the breadboard, This arrangement makes some more space available for ‘our jumper wires. For a sine wave test source, | am using a program called "Audio SweepGen’ running on my PC. To connect, it to the Arduino analog input AO, there is a little bit of circuitry involved. Figure 3 is the input circuit schematic None of the resistor values are critical. You ean sometimes get away with just using the .47 pF capacitor, as the Arduino’s analog input seems to be naturally self biasing to around 2.5 volts Here is the sketch to determine what the default conversion speed is: ARDUINO 4 Miswvors 41 128 by 64 Leb Gecilisscope - Default By Bob Davie Uses Universal bit Graphics Llbrary, https) feode «aoogle. con/p/usazib/ Copyright {c) 2012, oltkraustgmail.com All rights reserv: Hinelude “UegLib.n™ D7 10,11,4,5/6,7 en=ta, UsoitE_si7920-126x64_4x vag(B, 9, 10, 11, 4, 5, 6, 1, 18, 17, 18) int Sample[i2e} + Int Glamnput=0; ine StartSanple<07 int Endsample: int Sanplerin vold us_prepare(voia) ( Ug. sebPont (uby.font_sxta} hag setPont efile: gheEerendedText () 2 ugg |setDeraultroregrounacolor (I lag setronePestep i)?
