Description Initializes the interface to the LCD screen, and specifies the dimensions (width and height) of the display. begin() needs to be called before any other LCD library commands. Syntax lcd.begin(cols, rows) Parameters lcd: a variable of type LiquidCrystal cols: the number of columns that the display has rows: the number of rows that the […]

Description Creates a variable of type LiquidCrystal. The display can be controlled using 4 or 8 data lines. If the former, omit the pin numbers for d0 to d3 and leave those lines unconnected. The RW pin can be tied to ground instead of connected to a pin on the 86Duino; if so, omit it […]

Description Checks for the presence of a UDP packet, and reports the size. parsePacket() must be called before reading the buffer with Udp.read(). Syntax Udp.parsePacket(); Parameters None Returns int: the size of a received UDP packet Example Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino reference, and is […]

Description Gets the port of the remote UDP connection. This function must be called after UDP.parsePacket(). Syntax Udp.remotePort(); Parameters None Returns int : the port of the UDP connection to a remote host Example Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino reference, and is licensed under a […]

Description Gets the IP address of the remote connection. This function must be called after Udp.parsePacket(). Syntax Udp.remoteIP(); Parameters None Returns 4 bytes : the IP address of the remote connection Example Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino reference, and is licensed under a Creative Commons […]

86Duino development environment, 86Duino Coding, requires Java JRE This application note talks about the steps to install Java JRE. In addition, we also talk about system configuration to address problems associate with not able to locate the serial port and modem manager. (See the older version here before Coding 207) Step 1 Launch the terminal […]

Description Defines an IP address. It can be used to declare both local and remote addresses. Syntax IPAddress(address); Parameters address: a comma delimited list representing the address (4 bytes, ex. 192, 168, 1, 1) Returns None Example Libraries Reference Home The text of the 86Duino reference is a modification of the Arduino reference, and is […]
