Do you have an ETA for these to be in stock? Not at the moment I'm afraid. I'm told that some robotic toy manufacturer bought out most of the market in the second half of last year and the shortage has caused the price of them to shoot up. We're waiting for the price to fall again before buying new...

its pairing but it wont connect to my samsung tablet Could you confirm that it is pairing with this tablet? If so, although your tablet may have successfully paired with the slave module, it wont link to it until you actually open a serial terminal connection on your tablet. If you still have no lu...

I've updated the datasheet in the first post.

It would probably need a lot of modification. The 5110 uses a different driver and interface to the SH1106. It may be possible to write a wrapper or modify the low level functions that write to the display but because the screens are also different resolutions you would probably have to modify other...

The manufacturer doesn't provide instructions but you can reference the pictures in this thread to give you an idea of how it all goes together. Note that sometimes the manufacturer will provide spare parts with the kit. You can use the following screws/nuts provided in the kit as follows: For all a...

It sounds like a bad connection issue to me. I would double check that you have good connections to the module, especially the GND connection (VSS). Is the module on long wires? If so then try shortening them. Also in the example you posted, if you're only wanting to display something that changes e...

3.3v -- (Not connected) GND -- GND VBUS -- VCC TXD -- RXI RXD -- TXO DTR -- DTR That looks correct to me. "CDM v2.10.00 WHQL Certified.zip" from the FTDI website and I now see "USB Serial Port (COM6)" in Device Manager. Again this seems like the driver is installed correctly. On the Pro Mini, there...

The message was not Installation Complete but 'the best driver software is already installed' In Properties it is listed as a FTDI on USB Serial Converter. That seems ok to me but a tip if you want force windows to reinstall the driver is to locate the device in device manager, right click on and a...

I've switched it to 5V supply and now I can set my date and time!! How is this possible?? Ah, that will be the problem. A Mega needs a minimum of about 3V at its digital pin to see it as a logic high. If you power the RTC from a 3.3V supply then a logic high from the RTC will be just under 3V so it...
