Using Arduino to Control Custom CAN ID Smart Display with OLED Knob Rotator
Preface
In order to popularize SmartDisplay products and ensure their accessibility, ease of use, and affordability, we consistently highlight demonstration projects. In this particular episode, we are excited to introduce another demonstration code that aims to offer developers an affordable, straightforward, and all-encompassing framework. Our goal is to provide a robust and sustainable universal solution, serving as an alternative of host for various needs.
Introduction
The Custom CAN protocol has gained significant popularity within the realm of industrial automation for device control. In this context, the Arduino board emerges as a valuable tool for system integration and acting as a host controller for Smart Displays, particularly those without touch functionality. Leveraging the potential of the Custom CAN protocol, an Arduino board can effectively control non-touch smart displays. This article delves into a demonstration program that showcases the utilization of the Custom CAN protocol by employing an Arduino UNO along with a CAN shield, the program exemplifies the control of a smart display equipped with an OLED Knob display. Through this program, various tasks and functionalities of the non-touch smart display are explored. Developers seeking to expand their knowledge in system integration and its application in controlling both touch and non-touch displays using an OLED Knob display will find this article immensely beneficial.
