Currently I'm using an LCD screen on my arduino to display images. The LCD is 128x64 and I'm using an arduino nano.
Does anyone know of a way to run a virtual LCD so that I can have it run on my computer, instead of on a bread board? This way would also allow me to record it on my computer using something like OBS.
Yes. Intercept all the library calls and funnel the data to the host via your own custom made protocol. Then display it using the custom PC application code that you will write.
I'm not sure what OBS is but I would suggest a simple RS232 link using the data before it is converted to the LCD format.
Use Serial.print() to send the data to "your computer", which will be running a terminal program to display the data, and log the data to a file.
Hi,
Is your question about emulating all the hardware on your computer? So you can work, test, and 'video record' your work?
There are many lcd devices with many libraries, are you looking to emulate 1 particular device or make a generic one? in any case you need to dig into documentation, because while you can relatively easy intercept data to and from lcd you need to decode it according to the data sheet for this device in order to mimic on your pc
There is https://www.tinkercad.com/. I have no experience with it at all, but I know it does emulate arduino circuits, with buttons, LEDs and the like, so it may well contain a module to emulate a dot matrix display too. Probably the animations it outputs can be saved and downloaded, too, not sure.
Hi all, sorry for my off-topic, @jremington is it possible to contact with You on PM (You have blocked sending PM) ??
My e-mail: nawasaqi@o2.pl thx
@frenchydude08 Thats pretty much what I'm looking for, and this goes for @330R as well. I've tried tinkercad but its way too slow for me.
Without too much knowledge in this field, I think I can still safely say that generally speaking, when it comes to emulation, it's usually best not to raise your expectations too high.., that is unless you have access to some beefed up professional stuff..
Wokwi can run medium sketches at full speed with a new computer. It can not simulate a analog signal. The Chrome browser is faster than Firefox as you can see in my comparison: Virtual Online Arduino and ESP32 Simulator - Wokwi Arduino Simulator features - #3 by Koepel
You need to log in to be able to store a project.
It does not have a LCD display of 128x64, but it has a OLED of 128x64
