AK-Mr.Wood-L – Library for Arduino

24 May 2014 / 0 Comments / in Tutorials/by

In this guide we are going to explain how to install and how to use the AK-Mr.Wood-L Library for Arduino. This library contains quick access to common tasks when using a shift register with 7-segment displays. It’s based mostly on the standard shiftOut() function. The library contains a predefined ASCII table for all printable characters and numbers.

Using the AK-Mr.Wood-L

24 May 2014 / 0 Comments / in Tutorials/by

AK-Mr.Wood-L is a little board that features a 7-segment display and a shift register. In this tutorial you will learn how to connect it and how to write code for it. We’ll start with some theory (that you can skip if you know what a shift register is), a basic hardware overview and then how to connect it to an Arduino/microcontroller.

New year, new products. We wanted to show you in what we are working on. We are busy testing and writing software for these new products; a lot is happening at Artekit these days.

We are so exited with our new PCB(s) which we’ll start mounting and shipping soon.

Happy 2014!

01 Jan 2014 / 0 Comments / in News/by

Another year comes to an end. For Artekit it was indeed a great year. We are as always very Thankful to our customers: none of this will be possible without your support.

It was a slow start but we had a very positive second half. We have incorporated new products and made a good number of projects for privates.

2013 Graph

Artekit has grown a lot comparing 2013 with the past years. That’s why we are planning a lot of new stuff for this year, including more projects, new products (some of them are on test and manufacturing stage right now), and if the trend keeps that way we will possibly need a bigger lab. 🙂

We can’t wait to see what 2014 brings to Artekit.

Thank you again for making 2013 a great year, for your support and suggestions!

The Artekit team.

Using Logic Level Converters

5V for electronics it’s getting older but sometimes you need to connect a 5V system to a 3.3V device. A typical example is connecting an Arduino to, let’s say, a MMA8452Q accelerometer. In this particular case you need to connect the I2C bus (and optionally the 2 interrupt pins) of the MMA8452Q to the I2C port of the Arduino (A6 and A7). While it just might work, most of the times the 3.3V device performance will be degraded, or it would suddenly stop working. Read more →

DIY Lightsaber audio board

Hello, this is Ivan, and welcome back to another complete project from Artekit.

This time we bring you a board that simulates the sounds from a lightsaber, using low cost components. This project is a little more complex than the projects we have done before for the blog, and it will need a few external components. But don’t worry, it’s nothing hard to get.

Update: find the DIP adapters here.

We are making some new breakout boards to keep you prototyping.

In the last time, we have received requests for a series of DIP adapters. So here we are, finishing the last details before going in production.
