[EN] Using the DHT22/DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor Module with ESP8266

This article uses the DHT22 and DHT11 temperature and humidity measurer modules with Python. They are sensor modules that operate using a single signal cable which will save the microcontroller’s port connection. In addition, MicroPython has a library prepared for DHT22 and DHT11 implementation, making it convenient, time-saving and reduce errors that may be caused by manual programming.

There are 3 examples in this article: code17-1 is a normal reading of values, but code17-2 is a loop to read again. By finding the highest and lowest values and display on the LCD module as shown in Figure 8 and example code17-3 showing the average value of temperature and humidity.

[EN] Binary Search Tree

This article is about programming C/C++ language with Arduino Nano, Arduino Uno, LGT8F328P [NANO F328P-C] and ET-BASE AVR EASY32U4 (Figure 1) or other boards and platforms using C language for learning to code another type of data structure management program that has different storage and management methods, called BST or Binary Search Tree, as in Figure 2, which is a structure that can be applied to collecting data with attributes in which the data on the left node is less than current node and the right node is greater than current node or the opposite, the left node is greater and the right noe is less. Thus, searching for data in the event that the tree is balanced both left and right on the BST structure saves time or number of searches per round by half of available data, for example, there are 100 data sets in the first round, if the current node is not what you’re looking for it, the choice left is to find from the left or right node. This selection causes the data of the other side to be ignored or cut it in half approximately but if the Binary Search Tree is unbalanced, the search speed will not be much different from the Sequential Search.

[EN] Hosting Unity WebGL game on the sever

This article discusses bringing a Unity-developed WebGL-style game onto a server running Ubuntu operating system in the Google Compute Engine.

Developing a game with Unity, we can code a game once and create a game on multiple systems, whether it’s Windows, Android or the web, etc. Before we can put our game on the server, we need to modify it. Build target to WebGL first by going to File > Build Settings and selecting Platform as WebGL as shown in Figure 1.

[EN] PIC18F458 Ep.6 ADC

This article uses the GPIO of the PIC18F458 microcontroller connected to an ADC module or an analog-to-digital converter module for reading voltage levels in the 0 to 5V range from the input signal. This allows the system designer to consider the details of the voltage from the circuit, such as from the variable resistor, resistors change their values ​​according to the brightness or microphone values, for example, to process these values or enter the next working condition, such as reading the voltage to report the result as a voltage in the Lo, Hi or unstable level, etc. On the computer architecture experiment board, there are 4 sets of adjustable resistor circuits as shown in Figure 1 makes it possible to study programming to use the ADC module and be able to apply it in the future.

[EN] PIC18F458 Ep.3 An Introduction to Using MPLAB X IDE with XC8.

This article uses the MPLAB X IDE development kit (Figure 1) for use with Microchip’s 8-bit microcontrollers in C language through a translation tool called XC8 as a baseline for the next article’s use. The procedure for developing a program with this tool is as follows:

  1. Create a project file and set the microcontroller chip type to PIC18F458.
  2. Generate a C language file for the XC8 translation Pack.
  3. Generate information about microcontroller settings to be pasted into the program code.
  4. Compile the program.
  5. Bring the resulting file to upload to the board via PICKit2 tool or later.
