Hi guys, I am doing a project in which I need to connect the Arduino as a middleman to read data and output to the LCD in real-time. I am quite new to this stuff so hopefully you guys can shed some lights. I will really appreciate it:
So there are two processes involved:
-
Connect Arduino to the Data Logger (which is connected to a battery) (this one Lascar Electronics or another Data Logger we already have) to read Voltage/Current/ and Power measurement.
-
Connect Arduino to output data onto SLCD43 by ReachTech (http://www.reachtech.com/products/microcontroller_lcd/)
The programming part to talk between Arduino and the LCD is not bad for me per say. But can you guys please let me know how to physically connect the two devices? (through which port and cables)
This is how the SLCD macros can be invoked through a different microcontroller: http://ethandev.com/ECE493/RCM3720_SLCD_demo1.c
This is its software reference: http://ethandev.com/ECE493/SLCDx%20Software%20Reference.pdf
It would be awesome if you can give some intros on how to approach both (1) and (2). But (2) seems to be the most difficult task for me up to this point.
Thanks a bunch! Happy Arduinoing!
