I recently bought gizDuino Kit for one of my projects, the E-Gizmo gizDuino X . This somewhat different from what I usually used in prototype projects. I used to fabricate PCB for Microcontrollers (PICs) and build the main controller. This gizDuino X is basically pre-fabricated. It contains all the ports and feature that you will be using for simple to complex system. Well for the first time we will be programming basic code for this cool Kit from Egizmo . We will now try the very basic Blinking LED.
Parts needed are :
Egizmo gizDuino X Kit : Egizmo gizDuino X |
330 ohm Resistor |
LED |
Here is the instruction.
- Place the LED positive(Longer Terminal) to Port 12 of gizDuino X and the Resistor to (GND):
Now we are done with the Hardware , we will move to Software (The programming ).
1. Connect the gizDuino X
2. Open the Arduino Application :
3. Open the sample program (Blink) :
4. Edit this code :
from : int led = 13;
to : int led = 12;
Because we will be using Port 12 .
5. After Editing click the Upload Button (arrow Left).
And now we are done on hardware and software, we will now test our Blinking LED.
Well, that's it for now, hope you got information and ideas and of course enjoy reading .)
Next entry , I will try to interface the gizDuino X to their GSM Kit .
