Audio Framework
Displays from DisplayModule
These examples all use displays from http://www.displaymodule.com/.
This example is for the 1.8" display (DM-TFT18-101) using the 40-pin connector on the Experiment Base Board. Note that this connector does not come pre-soldered.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_dm_40pin_spi
Example of using the DM-TFT18-101 display
This example will work on all of the displays shown here. Note that only the DM-TFT18-101 display can be connected to the 40-pin connector - all other displays must use the arduino compatible connector on the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board. For the displays without direct arduino pinning this requires an adapter. For more information see the overview.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_dm_bubbles
Example showing the use of displays from DisplayModule.com with the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board
This example is a basic calculator to show the use of the touch controller. It will work on all of the displays shown here which have touch support. All the touch enabled displays use the arduino compatible connector on the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board. For the displays without direct arduino pinning this requires an adapter. For more information see the overview. This shows the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board with the DM-TFT28-105 display mounted:
Import programlpc4088_ebb_dm_calc
Basic calculator example to show the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board with a touch LCD from DisplayModule
ePaper Display
This example is for the 2.7" ePaper display from Embedded Artists. The picture below shows the ePaper display connected to the Serial Expansion Connector.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_epaper
Example with the 2.7" epaper display EM027BS013
Character LCD
This example requires a standard character LCD, of the type presented here: Text-LCD. The picture below shows the ePaper display connected to the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_textlcd
Example of using a Text LCD with the LPC4088 Experiment Base Board
Cellular and Positioning shield
Below is a picture with the Cellular and Positioning shield mounted. The shield is built around u-blox high-quality cellular and positioning modules.
Very simple, yet working perfect, UART pass-through application, when running u-blox m-center PC application. The cellular modem UART channel is tunneled to the mbed HDK virtual COM port (which the m-center application can connect to).
UART pass-through application
#include "mbed.h" Serial pc(USBTX, USBRX); // tx, rx Serial ublox(D1, D0); // tx, rx int main() { DigitalOut resetPin(D4, 1); // SARA-U2/LISA-U2 50..80us resetPin = 0; ::wait_us(50); resetPin = 1; ::wait_ms(10); // SARA-G35 >5ms, LISA-C2 > 150ms, LEON-G2 >5ms resetPin = 0; ::wait_ms(150); resetPin = 1; ::wait_ms(100); pc.baud(115200); ublox.baud(115200); while(1) { if(pc.readable()) { ublox.putc(pc.getc()); } if(ublox.readable()) { pc.putc(ublox.getc()); } } }
All the GSM/GPS examples require the following to work:
- A working SIM card for the GSM network you want to connect to
- The APN (Access Point Name) for the SIM. The APN is the server that allows the modem to access the internet.
- An external power source for the GSM/GPS module. It is recommended to use a phone charger with a micro USB connector and not one of the port on the computer.
Each example must be configured with the APN information above before use. Lookup the following block in main.cpp:
GSM/GPS module configuration
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ // You need to configure these cellular modem / SIM parameters. // These parameters are ignored for LISA-C200 variants and can be left NULL. //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #include "MDM.h" //! Set your secret SIM pin here (e.g. "1234"). Check your SIM manual. #define SIMPIN NULL /*! The APN of your network operator SIM, sometimes it is "internet" check your contract with the network operator. You can also try to look-up your settings in google: https://www.google.de/search?q=APN+list */ #define APN "online.telia.se" //! Set the user name for your APN, or NULL if not needed #define USERNAME NULL //! Set the password for your APN, or NULL if not needed #define PASSWORD NULL //------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This example will try to fetch and post some information using HTTP requests. Only the fetching will actually work as the posting requires permissions. but the code is still good as a reference.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_ublox_Cellular_HTTPClient_HelloWorld
Example showing the ublox Cellular GPS/GNSS module with the HTTPClient library to fetch and upload web pages.
This is a comprehensive example that will read GPS data, use TCP sockets and respond to SMS messages. For more information look at the C027_SupportTest support page.
Import programlpc4088_ebb_ublox_Cellular_GPS_SMS
Example showing how to use the ublox Cellular GPS/GNSS module. The program will use GPS to get location and time, setup TCP connections and finally send and receive SMS messages
IoT example with Cellular and Positioning shield
The following two examples use the PubNub data stream network to publish/subscribe to data.
Note that some work is required to get this example working:
- Create an account at PubNub.com
- Update the program code with the publish/subscription keys received for the new account.
- Read the PubNub documentation in order to understand the system
- Understand that the free account has some limitations
Import programlpc4088_ebb_ublox_Cellular_PubNubDemo
