Arduino LCD Shield

Introduction Arduino enthusiasts often find themselves in need of LCD displays for their projects. These displays provide vital information and enhance the user interface. To streamline this process, we embarked on a journey to design an Arduino LCD Shield that simplifies LCD integration with a standard Arduino board. By employing a 16x2 LCD with the commonly used 44780 chipset and a 4094 8-Bit Shift Register, we’ve managed to reduce the pin count, making it an efficient solution....

M8 Terminal Post

Introduction In the field of wiring for caravans and canopies, terminal blocks are indispensable. However, their cost from suppliers can be prohibitive, and their range in bolt lengths often insufficient. To address these issues, we’ve developed 3D-printed M8 terminal posts – a cost-effective alternative for wiring needs. The Fusion 360 file we provide allows for easy replication and customization, making this solution accessible to all. Innovative Origins The idea of 3D-printed M8 terminal posts was born out of practical necessity....
