Code Examples
### Example 1: Using the Mini Wire Stripper with an Arduino Board
In this example, we will use the Mini Wire Stripper to connect a temperature sensor to an Arduino Uno board.
Hardware Requirements:
Arduino Uno board
DS18B20 temperature sensor
Jumper wires (22 AWG)
Mini Wire Stripper
Software Requirements:
Arduino IDE (version 1.8.x or later)
Code:
```c++
#include <DallasTemperature.h>
// Define the temperature sensor pin
#define TEMP_SENSOR_PIN 2
// Create a DallasTemperature object
DallasTemperature tempSensor(TEMP_SENSOR_PIN);
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
tempSensor.requestTemperatures();
float temperature = tempSensor.getTempCByIndex(0);
Serial.print("Temperature: ");
Serial.print(temperature);
Serial.println(" C");
delay(1000);
}
```
Instructions:
1. Strip the insulation from the temperature sensor wires using the Mini Wire Stripper.
2. Connect the VCC wire to the Arduino Uno's 5V pin.
3. Connect the GND wire to the Arduino Uno's GND pin.
4. Connect the data wire to the Arduino Uno's digital pin 2.
5. Upload the code to the Arduino board and monitor the serial output for temperature readings.
### Example 2: Using the Mini Wire Stripper with a Raspberry Pi Pico
In this example, we will use the Mini Wire Stripper to connect a push button to a Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller.
Hardware Requirements:
Raspberry Pi Pico board
Push button module
Jumper wires (22 AWG)
Mini Wire Stripper
Software Requirements:
Raspberry Pi Pico SDK (version 1.3.x or later)
Code:
```c++
#include <iostream>
#include <gpio.h>
// Define the push button pin
#define BUTTON_PIN 16
int main() {
// Initialize the GPIO library
gpio_init();
// Set the button pin as an input
gpio_set_mode(BUTTON_PIN, GPIO_INPUT);
while (true) {
// Read the button state
int buttonState = gpio_get(BUTTON_PIN);
if (buttonState == 0) {
std::cout << "Button pressed!" << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "Button released!" << std::endl;
}
// Wait for 50ms before checking again
delay(50);
}
return 0;
}
```
Instructions:
1. Strip the insulation from the push button wires using the Mini Wire Stripper.
2. Connect the VCC wire to the Raspberry Pi Pico's 3.3V pin.
3. Connect the GND wire to the Raspberry Pi Pico's GND pin.
4. Connect the data wire to the Raspberry Pi Pico's GPIO 16 pin.
5. Compile and upload the code to the Raspberry Pi Pico board.
6. Press the push button to observe the output on the serial console.
Remember to handle the wires carefully and use the Mini Wire Stripper according to the manufacturer's instructions to avoid damaging the tool or the wires.
