Hello ,
I was just thinking of making a small project in which I display the name of the song that is currently playing on my media player ,on an LCD screen. I know the hardware connections of the LCD. But I'm clueless on how to collect data about the song. Also is there any media player that is better to use for this. Please help. 

i'm using it on windows 7 32bit. But now i've realised that once i connect my arduino ,the system becomes a lot stable

hey thanx, i did check out the previous topics . Had to refresh my computer and there was some problem with the COM ports also

no, the sketch compiles easily. The problem occurs when i start the software and view my previous sketches and access various menu options like tools and edit

Hi , i use windows 7 32bit. And i'm using arduino 0018. But when i start the compiler it stops responding and none of the menu items work . What might be the problem ? Do i need to clear my computer ? Coz its really frustrating to wait for such a long tym to get started. I've installed the FTDI drivers and they work fine.

could you explain the "while" and " serialprintln" statements. As in what exactly they are doing

I am doing a project and wanna send different values over a serial port. How can i make the program to halt while the user enters new test values and accept those values and then continue with the execution.

i hav learnt how LDRs work . can you guys help me by posting links so that i can make an array of LDRs and LEDs for my line following robot using arduino.

int pwmPin = 9;  //Motor's PWM pin
int dPin_1 = 6;// Digital Pin to turn the motor on/off
int dPin_2 = 7;
int ledPin = 13; //LED pin
 
void setup()
{
pinMode(dPin_1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(dPin_2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
 
void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn on LED
digitalWrite(dPin_1, HIGH); //turn on the motor
digitalWrite(dPin_2, LOW);
 
//Apply PWM to the motor
for(int i=0; i<=255; i++)
{
analogWrite(pwmPin, i);
delay(100);
}
 
delay(1000); //delay for a second
 
//switch directions
digitalWrite(dPin_1, LOW);
digitalWrite(dPin_2, HIGH);
 
for(int i=255; i>=0; i--)
{
analogWrite(pwmPin, i);
delay(100);
}
 
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn off LED
digitalWrite(dPin_1, LOW); //turn off motor
 
delay(2000); //delay for 2 seconds.
}

hello evryone, this is my first post and i am currently working on my first arduino project , aline following robot. i am facing problems on how to take the input from the LDRs , i mean in what form will the input be. Can you also tell me how to use the input along with the program for the L293d motor driver.
