Scrolling message sign display with Wise Clock 3/4 - part 2

Image
This post , written some time ago, demonstrated how to make a message sign using two 3216 displays connected to Wise Clock 3 . The font used in the demo is 8*8 (actually just 7*7), quite small for the 16 LED height of the display. The code for a larger (11x14) font is already included in the Wise Clock 3/4 software (file fontLarge.h ), just not used and used when the "Big Font" menu option is selected (file  AppBig.cpp ).  I resurrected this forgotten font and the functions that use it  and this is how it works: I modified the original sketch (posted in this thread of the Arduino forum) to include the following lines at the top of the file: char* msgLine = "           Hello world - demo for large font scrolling on dual 3216 display."; int crtPos = 0; int crtColor = GREEN; and the loop() function: void loop () {   displayLargeScrollingLine();   if (crtPos >= strlen(msgLine))       crtPos = 0; } The source c...

Use your Pen Drive as a key to your PC/Laptop

Hi friends! Here is a nice trick for securing your Laptop or PC from unauthorized access. Window stores its password in a file which it uses at startup.

Type “syskey” without quotes. Read more »

I2SDv3 - Arduino buckler with microSD

Image
The Wyolum machine  ( these are the people who generously offered $3000 in innovation grants , with no strings attached ) is forging ahead with a new and improved version of I2SD . I just received their v3 prototype and it looks impressive. I must say it is the most feature-rich data logger / SD card backpack (here is the list of the competing products that I compared with). Like its predecessor, I2SD v3 is a software-compatible Arduino (ATmega328/16MHz) with extras. It has on-board microSD card, DS3231  extremely accurate real-time-clock with backup battery, infrared receiver and 2 LED indicators for errors or status. I2SDv3 comes assembled (all SMD), with the bootloader burnt in. Sketches can be uploaded through the FTDI connector. The board can be plugged directly into Arduino, using one row of headers (A0-A4-GND-RST), hence the name " buckler " (like a "semi-shield", got it?) I2SDv3 also offers header access to D4-D7 (v2 lacked that; my complaint wa...
