Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit Hardware

by

Arduino consists of a family of single programmable circuit boards and the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that uses a streamlined version of C++ to write and upload code to the boards. Many pre-configured circuit boards, called “shields”, are available to expand the functionality of the Arduino controller. These shields can provide Ethernet, WiFi, GPS, LCD … Read more

P1AM Industrial Arduino Watchdog Timer

by

A watchdog is a piece of code that will timeout when an error occurs in our program. It will usually cause the CPU (program/sketch) to stop or reset. We will now look at the instructions for the watchdog timer in productivity blocks. This includes the Configure Watchdog, Start Watchdog, Stop Watchdog, and Pet Watchdog. Our … Read more

P1AM Arduino P1 Digital Inputs and Outputs 2

by

In part 1 we added additional discrete digital inputs and outputs modules (cards) to our P1AM-START1 (Industrial Arduino) ProductivityOpen starter kit with Ethernet. A program was then discussed that will print the modules in our system and then set and reset discrete digital inputs and outputs. P1-16TR – Productivity1000 relay output module, 16-point, 6-24 VDC/6-120 … Read more

P1AM Industrial Arduino P1000 Expansion Analog

by

We will now look at the P1AM Arduino expansion analog modules. This analog expansion is part of the P1000 cards that the P1AM Arduino can use as it’s inputs and outputs. The productivity open P1AM I/O interface chip-set supports the full suite of Productivity 1000 I/O expansion modules. These modules are industry approved and proven … Read more

Productivity Open P1AM Arduino Time Instructions

by

Time instructions in our productivity blocks programming (Arduino sketches) consist of runtime (ms), runtime (us), delay ms, and delay microseconds us. We will be looking at each of these instructions that are available for our program using productivity blocks. Delay instructions in our sketches should be used with caution. They will pause our program for … Read more
