USART Library has been updated!

Today I’ve modified USART library. My library uses receive interrupt. After that, it just save data into cyclic buffer. User actually don’t know when that happen. Today, I was working on some project, where I need to know exact time, when data arrived on USART. For that purpose, I’ve modified USART library. To be able to know exact time when data arrived, you have to add defines in your defines.h file:

Then, you have to manually create a function...

ILI9341 LCD on STM32F4 108

Library 18- ILI9341 with LTDC on STM32F429 Discovery

It’s been a while when I first got ILI9341 lcd working on discovery, but without LTDC driver. Yesterday I decided to make a new library. With LTDC, you can actually display movies, because it uses parallel communication and support 2 layers simultaneously what gives you a high refresh rate. I used my old ILI9341 library and just add/modify some things to get LTDC to work. LTDC also supports 2 layers, so this means that while one layer is displayed, other layer...

NRF24L01+ 2.4GHz RF Module 229

Library 17- nRF24L01+ for STM32F4

17th library is here. I will show how to basic communicate with 2 nRF24L01+ RF transceivers. The Nordic nRF24L01+ is a highly integrated, ultra low power (ULP) 2Mbps RF transceiver IC for the 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band. With peak RX/TX currents lower than 14mA, a sub μA power down mode, advanced power management, and a 1.9 to 3.6V supply range, the nRF24L01+ provides a true ULP solution enabling months to years of battery life from coin cell...

Library 16- Interfacing HD44780 LCD controller with STM32F4

16th library is here. We will interfacing HD44780 (and its compatible) driver for alpha-numeric LCDs. Library supports up to 20 x 4 LCD size. It was tested with 20 x 4 (on picture) and with 16 x 2. HD44780 Library Features 4bit operation mode Minimum GPIOs used (6) Supports different LCD sizes Supports up to 8 custom characters Enable/disable cursor blinking Show/hide cursor Shift content in ram left/right Connection pins to board are user selectable Automatically jumps to new line...
