    [SOLVED] problem with coding 123

    Hello Klaus! I am a newbie to arduino and am just trying to check if my recently purchased mcp4725 is working fine. i thought that a simple way to do that would be to read an analog voltage to arduino and make it convert it to digital form and send it to the dac. the dac would then convert it...

    [SOLVED] problem with coding 123

    hi guys! i recently purchased dac mcp 4725 and just tried connecting it to arduino so i am giving 0-5 v at A0 pin of arduino problem is Mcp4725 is always op 2v only irrespective of voltage at A0 pin i think its a coding error my code is as follows: A0 pin is connected to center of pot...

    problem with arduino

    hi FenTrac, increasing the delay does brighten the digits but they also start blinking. now it has boiled down to finding a compromise between digit brightness and digits blinking. how to make the digits bright and steady? cheers, marrc

    measuring analog voltage using arduino

    Hi again, I have tried your idea, i am getting proper scaling (electrically) though am getting range on serial monitor i.e -5v ip on a0 shows as -5 and 5v shows as 5v but in between the ops are unstable, so like for 1.3v i am getting following readings on serial monitor(in mv): there seems...

    measuring analog voltage using arduino

    hello! I am trying to measure and display analog +5 to -5 v on arduino using below sketch, void setup() { // initialize serial communication at 9600 bits per second: Serial.begin(9600); } // the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop() { // read the input on analog...

    unstable arduino based frequency counter

    hi, yes "when no i/p applied" means no i/p signal connected. there is no pullup/pulldown the input is directly connected to the arduino(digital pin 8) 555 is NE555 timer in astable mode..not sure about the frequency though... i am using a mid sized cap and 2K resistor,if that helps - - -...

    unstable arduino based frequency counter

    hello, am getting following out puts on serial monitor: a) when no i/p applied : 50 b) when 555 connected to i/p: values changing continuously between hundreds,thousands, ten thousands for the same applied input i have used following code: const int pulsePin = 8; // Input signal connected to...
