Thanks again!

That datasheet looks interesting!

At last some real info that I can use...

I hadn't seen that.

Cheers!

Man, you saved my life!

Do you know if that lcd can do reverse video easily or does it have to be hand tweaked?

Hey thanks!

I just wrote to you via email as well since I saw your youtube!

That is just what I needed!!!

I'm guessing that I can use any pins I have available, right?

Thanks so much for your help!!!

Hi, I'm struggling with the interface to a 16x2 blue LCD display that I'd like to drive from pyboard. This is where I got it: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/lcd-display-16-x-2-blue-character-with-backlight.html This is the only datasheet I could find: http://www.taydaelectronics.com/datasheets/A-17...

Hi! Thanks for your reply. I understand the physics of acceleration, but the values I see from the device do not seem to coincide with any that I can guess, or maybe the units need conversion? (In the meantime, I found the data sheet and now see how it works, with the bits for x,y,z, tilt, but not '...

Hi, I have searched high and low and done experiments with the pyb.Accel but just can't seem to get it. My goal is to detect changes in orientation in the pyboard: - rotation about the x-axis - rotation about the y-axis - rotation about the z-axis Ideally I would like to take a reference value for e...

Wow! That's great news!!! Maybe they'll want to send my electric guitar circuit (driven by a pyboard) into outer space

Seriously, that is really great news! Well Done!

Hi, Sorry for this immensely long delay in replying, but I've been busy learning Kicad and designing a massive PCB (it is so so SO Hard! ;-)) Anyway, as promised, I did experiment with the Vactrol driven directly from the Pyboard Pin, using PWM. It works perfectly, and consumes less than 10mA at 100...

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has created the Kicad lib and mod files for the pyboard?

Or, if not, does anyone know how to convert the eagle files to kicad format?

I'm just starting out on kicad after long use of fritzing, now needing 4 layer boards...

Cheers,

Sorry, I wasn't clear on this point. I figured that you could drive the Vactrol directly with a GPIO pin and still use PWM to fine-tune the resistance that you need. I admit that I haven't tested whether PWM works in open-collector output mode, but you could use push-pull instead and it will still ...
