Sometimes you need to convert one uint16_t variable into two uint8_t.

As we manipulate binaries, it's impossible to do something like that: 0xAB + 0xCD = 0xABCD.

Indeed, the result of 0xAB + 0xCD = 0x178 because 0xAB = 171 and 0xCD = 205.

A classic way to deal with database, with Android, it's to use the SQLite classes.

What's unique in SQLite is that you don't need a server where running your database.
Indeed, everything is already inside your Android application!

And of course impossible to another application to read this database.

I think the MapType is certainly the most fascinating feature of GoogleMaps and also one of the most easy to understand and make alive in an Android application.

With one click it's possible to change the display of the map such as hybrid, none, normal, satellite or terrain.

Google made a new version of its famous Google Maps API, called Google Maps API v2.

Things are new, such as the OpenGL ES version 2.

But let's try to create an application, in this Google Maps API v2 tutorial for Windows 7 and less or more.

With Ubuntu 13.04, you certainly found out that there is, by default, only one workspace.

If you want more, there are solutions.

First of all enable workspaces, then change (if you want) the number of workspaces.

Let's see this in this tutorial.

By installing a Ubuntu guest with VirtualBox on Windows, you likely found a basic resolution, such as 1024*768.

Unfortunately, you have a screen with a 1920*1200 resolution, it's impossible to let this like that.

There is of course a solution to increase this basic setup, but with a maximum of 1440*1050.

After creating a software to count in binary, let's see how bit shifting works.

In this tutorial we are going to see how to turn on and off a single LED each time we will be using the left bit shifting.

Maybe you've always dreamed to understand how to count in binary.

What do you think about learning it with a MSP430 LaunchPad and LEDs?

If you are still interested, that's what we are going to see with this tutorial and a video.

Let's get started.

In this MSP430 tutorial we will see how to use the LaunchPad to switch on a LED with a breadboard.

It's an easy tutorial for beginners. Simple, easy and useful.

You can watch the result of the tutorial directly with the video below:

It's not essentially easy to set up the IAR Embedded Workbench for a new project.

All boards are different and all microcontrollers too.

In our case we will be using the STM32L152RBT6 one.

So, if you didn't use neither IAR nor the STM32L-DISCOVERY board, it would be a bit complicated to begin playing with your new toys.
