#79302
This is my first Arduino project and need lot of help..
My goal for now is to be able to read data from LIS302 into Arduino Pro mini.
For this I have soldered header pins to Arduino board and LIS302DL board. Next, I made wire connections between Arduino and LIS302DL board.
I found a sketch to read LIS302 data and tried to load it, when I ran into several problems.
1) Tried loading sketch (atmega168+LIS302)..taking forever to load..
"Uploading to I/O Board.."
Red messages appear in the bottom window..looks like something is not right.
Question: How to verify sketch is correctly loaded ?
2) LIS302DL board does not have SCA pin at all !
It does have MISO, MOSI, SCL, VCC, GND
Question: Is MOSI pin same as SCA ?
3) Do I need LCD board as well ? or can I display x, y, z acceralation values on laptop/PC monitor ? which is easier (i.e., between LCD display vs. PC monitor )
Requirement is: Would like to see x, y, z values visually when the LIS302 is moved
Appreciate any help.. Thanks.
