week3

This week's assignment is to program a microcontroller display to show the time and the state of a sensor attached to your controller.

Because I moved to Shanghai this week, I did not order SSD1306 screens online, I went to the electronics market in Shanghai to try to find a similar one. Under the recommendation of the merchant, I only bought the ST7920 HF12864-16 LCD display. Unfortunately, I did not find a fully compliant datasheet. I tried to use the U8g2 library and control it in Arduino, but it didn’t succeed.Only the screen has light but no fonts appear.

For the HID part, I try to use a pushbutton to replace the up arrow key.

Arduino code as follows:

/*
* try to replace UP_ARROW key with pushbutton
*

*/

#include <Keyboard.h>
// pushbutton on pin 2 is connected to ground:
const int buttonPin = 2;
// debounce delay for pushbutton:
const int debounceDelay = 4;
// previous state of the button:
int lastButtonState = HIGH;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
Keyboard.begin();
// set button input mode:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
}

void loop() {
// read button:
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// if it has changed:
if (buttonState != lastButtonState) {
// wait until button state stabilizes:
delay(debounceDelay);
// if it's low:
if (buttonState == LOW) {
// send keystroke:
Keyboard.press(KEY_UP_ARROW);

}else{
Keyboard.release(KEY_UP_ARROW);

}
// save current state for next time:
lastButtonState = buttonState;
}
}
