Raspberry Pi b+ 用 Python 控制 LCD 16x2 (HD44780) 教學 Part 1 硬體設定篇

在玩Raspberry Pi的時候，常常會有需要顯示一些簡單文字訊息的需求。像是開機抓到動態IP位置的時候顯示出來，方便遠端ssh登入。

這個時候用LCD螢幕線得太大又太笨重，用UART又需要準備一條USB-TTL的轉接線用電腦來登入，整個弄得非常的繁雜。所以這種時候就需要下面這個東西--兩行十六字的 LCD 顯示模組:

在電子材料行裡可以用便宜的價格輕易買到，去Google的話常常會被提到的型號或關鍵字不是 HD4478 就是 1602 (16x2十六個字兩行)。雖然型號上有點小差異但是控制指令都一樣。而傳輸資料介面除了基本款的 16 pin腳的版本外還有I2C介面。網路上也有人利用位移暫存器來間接控制基本款的 16 pin腳，這種的方式就以後有時間再來寫了。

LIRC 紅外線解碼程式解說

每一Bit 的傳送,都是38KHZ的載波頻率在發送.

NEC Infrared Protocol

A 9ms leading pulse burst (16 times the pulse burst length used for a logical data bit)
A 4.5ms space
The 8-bit address for the receiving device
The 8-bit logical inverse of the address
The 8-bit command
The 8-bit logical inverse of the command
Final 562.5µs pulse burst to show end of message transmission.
Logical '0' – a 562.5µs pulse burst followed by a 562.5µs space, with a total transmit time of 1.125ms
Logical '1' – a 562.5µs pulse burst followed by a 1.6875ms space, with a total transmit time of 2.25

Pulse 係由很多 on/off 交替的訊號所組成:

Carrier frequency = 38kHz
duty factor = 1/3
period = 26.5us

16 bits for the address (address + inverse) require 27ms to transmit time .and the 16 bits for the command (command + inverse) also require 27ms to transmit time.
because (address + address inverse) or (command+command inverse) will always contain 8 '0's and 8 '1's so (8 * 1.125ms) + (8 * 2.25ms) == 27 ms .
according to this total time required to transmit the frame is (9ms +4.5ms +27ms+27ms) = 67.5 ms.

If the key on the remote controller is kept depressed, a repeat code will be issued, typically around 40ms after the pulse burst that signified the end of the message. A repeat code will continue to be sent out at 108ms intervals, until the key is finally released. The repeat code consists of the following, in order:

if user keeps the key depressed the repeat codes keep coming

Raspberry pi 遠端家電控制

本實驗主要是學習Linux SPI Driver 並驅動 TI CC2500 RF module以達到RF雙向通訊目的,並學習如何自訂封包格式與通訊協定. Pi會接收來自其他遠端裝置傳送過來的封包,其封包內含遠端AD轉換後VR數值, Pi會判斷 VR大於512則使Relay電路開, 反之VR小於512,使Relay電路關 ,即可達到遠端家電控制的功能.
