Arduino and Wii Nunchuck to control iTunes

arduino-and-wii-nunchuck-to-control-itunes

Tomasz Węgrzanowski shows you step by step how to control iTunes with Wii Nunchunk using Arduino. Also, in the article you will learn about AppleScript that is used to control the function in iTunes such as increase/decrease volume and more.

Here’s my latest project. It involves way too many technologies for the sole purpose of controlling iTunes with Wii Nunchuck. Signal flow is almost uni-directional, so let’s go from step by step from the Nunchuck to iTunes.

Arduino hardware hacking

arduino-hardware-hacking

I don’t know what is the meaning of hacking in this article?  But, it is quite interesting to read for getting new ideas.

Arduino is cool. It’s cool because it’s a tiny device - about three inches by two inches - that comes with a USB port and a programmable chip. It’s cool because you can program it using a very simple programming language known as Wiring.But most of all, it’s cool because the entire reference design for the hardware is available under a Creative Commons licence, so you’re free to build your own if you want to.

This is a  mini-series about Arduino. There are two parts of this article part 1 | part 2

Interfacing Arduino with LCD using LiquidCrystal Library

interfacing-arduino-with-lcd-using-liquidcrystal-library

LCD is a common electronic component used in many microcontroller projects.  Here is a nice example and description by Chris.

The Arduino software comes with a built in library for interfacing with Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD). The LiquidCrystal library lets you drive a 4-bit or 8-bit parallel LCD display. This example shows how to wire and program an Arduino and a 16×2 4-bit LCD display.
