I2C module with LCD display using Arduino

 How to interface PCF85574 module with arduino?
To connect LCD display 16×2 or 20×4 to Arduino you know you’ll need at least 6 wires to connect, it means sacrificing some IO’s that could be used for connecting other components such as sensors or motors. another way is to use 74HC595 Shift register for interfacing. In this tutorial we will discuss on PCF8574 I2C LCD Display Interface.
A module that can be used to circumvent this problem is the I2C Module for LCD Display with PCF8574 (datasheet ):

Text to Speech on arduino

Arduino Projects, Arduino Tutorials, , ,
Give your project a voice! Without Text-to-Speech Module, Arduino TTS library makes it possible, voice synthesizer that converts a stream of digital text into retro (robot) speech. Its simple needs only external LM385 amplifier with arduino Uno, No special components or shields required. Thanks to Gabriel Petrut and Clive Webster for making this thing.
Application Ideas:
  • Reading Internet-based data streams (such as e-mails or Twitter feeds)
  • Conveying status or sensor results from robots, scientific equipment, or industrial machinery
  • Language learning or speech aids for educational environments

GSM Modem Interfacing With Arduino

Arduino Tutorials, , , ,

In this tutorial we will learn how to interface GSM Modem and send SMS. GSM Modems are easy long range interface where we need to read sensor data or control electrical equipment. We will start with selection of GSM modem, AT commands and connection of GSM Module with Arduino. A GSM modem is a specialized type of modem or phone hardware on small PCB which accepts a SIM card, and operates over a subscription to a mobile operator, just like a mobile phone.

Digital Code Lock using Arduino

Arduino Projects, , ,

Digital code lock systems are most common on security systems. An electronic lock or digital lock is a device which has an electronic control assembly attached to it. They are provided with an access control system. This system allows the user to unlock the device with a password. The password is entered by making use of a keypad. The user can also set his password to ensure better protection. The major components include a keypad, LCD and the controller Arduino. This article describes the making of an electronic code lock using arduino. Continue reading Digital Code Lock using Arduino →
