LCD-Display Errors Solving WHO doesn’t have that error already with LCD-Displays: Once uploaded (compiling) the code to the Arduino IDE there could be some errors happening, it happens to me… Please check PIC below: Click image, please, to enlarge . Well I made some searches on the internet and I found the […]
. . DC/DC Converter Up from a certain moment when you get a bit more experience, you start more projects and sometimes you need to resolve a problem. One of those problems could be that you want to feed a project with a 9 Volts battery, accumulator, BUT you need 12 Volts or even more. […]
. . LEARN from the BEST Well, after a couple of years online and checking Maker, MakerED projects on YouTube and elsewhere I encountered a LOT of projects WHICH DIDN’T work and later I found out the right addresses to follow WHERE I could say THAT’s the guys to follow to make sure NOT wasting […]
. . EASTER Egg with NeoPixels WS2812B made from cardboard . . Soon there will be EASTER and decorations are getting put around the house worldwide as it is tradition since ages to do so. That’s also the time for tinkerers, makers to GET some new ideas. Well, I thought on a project which everybody […]
. . LCD1602-I2C isn’t working. Well, I made some searches on the internet and I found the right answer on a forum about this error, which says that one should scan the I2C Address of the device and replace the “lcd.init();” by “lcd.begin (0x3F,16,2);” whereby “0x3F” is the I2C Address of my LCD1602/I2C module. I […]
. . Maker Inspiration-WHERE to GET Information to Stay Informed? Well, you jumped in into the world of makers (OR want to do SO soon…) and you feel comfortable with it? You found out THAT it is important to learn about THAT movement as it brings out creativity and a BETTER understanding in EDUcation WHEN […]
. . Xmas Star with NeoPixels WS2812B made from cardboard Soon there will be Christmas and decorations are getting put around the house worldwide as it is tradition since ages to do so.

. . Halloween Project with Skull, Arduino, Blinking LEDs and Scrolling Eyes Soon is Halloween, so let us create a scary project while coding and DIY (tinkering a bit…). The tutorial is made for people who don’t have a 3D-Printer, we will use a 21 cm plastic Skull for 13€ bought on Amazon, 3 ARDUINO […]
. . Displaying Temperature/Humidity on a I2C LCD We were already playing around, as seen on my tutorials below, with the Temperature/Humidity sensors DHT11, DHT22 and LCD1602, without I2C possibility. There were a lot of cables to connect, we will try out this time to use a LCD with I2C bus connection as it uses […]
. . Text on I2C-LCD1602 Display written over Web-Page Sometimes it might be useful to write a text which should be displayed on a LCD display without any cabling, that is possible to do over your own Wi-Fi network and a NodeMCU ESP8266 module. And the project uses ONLY 4 wires as the LCD1602 gets […]
. . Scrolling text with I2C-LCD1602 I was looking for a simple project for beginners, newbies on Coding and MakerED. A looong time ago since we did a project with ONLY four (4) wires, isn’t it! Well here is one which is very easy to create, a “Scrolling text on a LCD1602 with “I2C-Bus”. In […]
