May 16th : Grace Tutorial as Promised
I mentioned a few weeks back how much I loved the grace tool, and I said I would make a video tutorial.. So here you go! This is the first time I have done a spoken tutorial so hope it turned out ok..
It the video I will go through setting up a grace project which will use a capture compare timer to blink an LED every 500ms. Normally for a new chip this would mean digging through data sheets to figure out how to set up a timer, not any more!!
More Weight Scales
The other day I managed to communicate with the ADS1131REF board via serial, but I was left stumped by the data I was getting. Turns out I was just being an idiot, the data returned was not weight data but the raw voltage reading from the output of the sensor. To convert the raw voltage to a usefull weight I needed to calibrate the sensor (of course!). The claibration uses the simple equation below to convert the sensor reading to a calibrated weight.
Whats Next?
So far I feel like my blog posts talk a whole lot but don't really show my progress, hopefully this weekend I can fix that by bringing a whole lot of this information together into something that resembles my original idea.
Cheers!
