Arduino reading and writing string to EEPROM

This demonstration (writing string to EEPROM) adopted the code from Arduino Playground and I had removed some of the features to make it simple and easy to understand.

Code below demonstrate how to write strings to EEPROM at specified location(address) and then read it back.

读取和写入任何结构EEPROM

Arduino内建的EEPROM函数（function）毎次只支能写入一个字节（one byte），一个英文字母或者整数从0到255。当想要写入较大的数字时，唯有调用多次的EEPROM函数，从而造成代码复杂以及难于调试。

使用下面的代码，只需一次EEPROM函数调用，任何数据结构或变数都可以一一写入及读取。保存以下代码至文件名为EEPROMAnything.h

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <Arduino.h> // for type definitions

template <class T> int EEPROM_writeAnything(int ee, const T& value)
{
const byte* p = (const byte*)(const void*)&value;
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
EEPROM.write(ee++, *p++);
return i;
}

template <class T> int EEPROM_readAnything(int ee, T& value)
{
byte* p = (byte*)(void*)&value;
unsigned int i;
for (i = 0; i < sizeof(value); i++)
*p++ = EEPROM.read(ee++);
return i;
}

一旦有了以上文件，编写程序前只要添加#include "EEPROMAnything.h"就能调用 EEPROM_writeAnything 和 EEPROM_readAnything函数了。请看以下例子：

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include "EEPROMAnything.h"

struct config_t
{
long alarm;
int mode;
} configuration;

void setup()
{
EEPROM_readAnything(0, configuration);
// ...
}
void loop()
{
// let the user adjust their alarm settings
// let the user adjust their mode settings
// ...

// if they push the "Save" button, save their configuration
if (digitalRead(13) == HIGH)
EEPROM_writeAnything(0, configuration);
}

当然也可以使用avr的eeprom程序库来代替以上EEPROMAnything.h

#include <avr/eeprom.h>

struct settings_t
{
long alarm;
int mode;
} settings;

void setup()
{
eeprom_read_block((void*)&settings, (void*)0, sizeof(settings));
// ...
}
void loop()
{
// let the user adjust their alarm settings
// let the user adjust their mode settings
// ...

// if they push the "Save" button, save their configuration
if (digitalRead(13) == HIGH)
eeprom_write_block((const void*)&settings, (void*)0, sizeof(settings));
}

Backing Up Raspberry Pi SD card

Insert SD card to computer
Launch Win32 Disk Imager
Select Device (source) which you want to backup from
Under Image File, give it a file name as shown in figure below

Click Read button to start backing up
As shown in figure below, the image file size is equivalent to the size of SD card since I had resized the partition of my SD card

Running raspi-config anytime anywhere

Raspi-Config is a tool to help you to configure Raspberry Pi, it is a bit similar to adjust the computer BIOS settings. Raspi-config runs automatically when you boot your Raspberry Pi and you can access this tool anytime anywhere.

SSH to Raspberry Pi and enter command below

sudo raspi-config

Changing the Tiny Arduino clock between 1MHz and 8MHz

This article shows how to make a simplest & cheapest Arduino. The clock speed is running at 1MHz even though you select 8MHz internal clock. This is because the Div8 fuses bit of the new ATtiny85 is enabled by default, therefore 8MHz divided by 8 is 1MHz. In order to resolve this problem, we nee to disable the Div8 fuse bit using a AVR programmer.

Here I provide a method to switch the Tiny Arduino clock speed between 1MHz and 8Mhz by using a Arduino Duemilanove as an ISP programmer.
