The python based thumbstick.py demo allows you to read a MikroElektronika Thumbstick Click board on a Raspberry PI using the GPIO and SPI inputs via a Pi Click Shield. The Thumbstick Click board uses an SPI based MCP3204 module for reading the joystick axes and the joystick "center click" button is read using the GPIO input 17 on the Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry Pi and Thumbstick Click Board

Raspberry Pi and Thumbstick Click Board

The Thumbstick Click board is connected to a Raspberry Pi using the MikroE Pi Click Shield. This shield connects to the Raspberry PI GPIO header pins and lets you attach MikroBus format (http://www.mikroe.com/mikrobus/) Click boards.

Thumbstick Click

Thumbstick Click

The Thumbstick Click board uses an SPI based MCP3204 module for reading the joystick axes. The ADC0 channel is used for the y-axis and the ADC1 channel is used for the x-axis. The board is powered on 3.3 Volts from the GPIO header on the Raspberry PI.

Thumbstick Click Button

Thumbstick Click Button

The joystick "center click" button is read using the GPIO input 17 on the Raspberry Pi and has an inverted logic state where the button clicked=0, and the button unclicked=1. If you take the rubber joystick cap off the thumbstick you can see

Webiopi GPIO Header

You can use the webiopi webGUI to read the current GPIO pin state from a web browser. This is interesting as you can see the input and output mapping and see the binary state of each of the GPIO pins.

Mission Control for Raspberry Pi

5

Mission Control is a ground station program that allows you to plot the GPS based latitude, longitude, and altitude of your Raspberry Pi using a MikroElektronika GPS Click Board. The program has a graphical dashboard, and supports sharing the GPS position data via the internet using a Google Earth KMZ file.

Charcoal Color Scheme for mikroC Pro

0

The Charcoal color scheme is used to customize the syntax highlighting in mikroC Pro. I created this color scheme to make the mikroC programming experience even better with a darker and less saturated background than the Midnight Blue theme. The scheme is designed to work with all of the MikroElektronika mikroC Pro compilers.

Building an HDR Panoramic Camera Rig

6

This project creates a DIY panoramic camera rig that is capable of capturing fully spherical high dynamic range panoramas. The project uses a modified Canon DSLR battery grip that is interfaced with a MikroElektronia Mikromedia development board. The firmware has been written in C-code using the mikroC Pro for PIC32 compiler, and VisualTFT.
