Code Examples
### Example 1: Basic Wire Dispensing using UART Communication (Arduino)
This example demonstrates how to use the Soldron Solder Wire Dispenser with an Arduino board to dispense a specific length of solder wire.
```c
#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
// Define the dispenser's UART pins
#define DISP_RX 2
#define DISP_TX 3
SoftwareSerial dispenserSerial(DISP_RX, DISP_TX);
void setup() {
  // Initialize the dispenser's UART communication
  dispenserSerial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // Send a command to dispense 50mm of solder wire
  dispenserSerial.print("D500
");
  delay(1000);
}
```
### Example 2: Automated Soldering Process using I2C Communication (Raspberry Pi)
This example showcases how to integrate the Soldron Solder Wire Dispenser into a Raspberry Pi-based automated soldering system using I2C communication.
```python
import smbus
# Define the I2C bus address and dispenser's address
BUS = 1
dispenserAddr = 0x1A
# Initialize the I2C bus
bus = smbus.SMBus(BUS)
def dispense_wire(length):
  # Send a command to dispense the specified length of solder wire
  bus.write_i2c_block_data(dispenserAddr, 0x01, [length >> 8, length & 0xFF])
# Example usage: dispense 20mm of solder wire
dispense_wire(20)
```

  SPI.begin();
// Initialize the dispensers
  pinMode(DISP_CS1, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(DISP_CS2, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(DISP_CS3, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Select dispenser 1 and dispense 30mm of solder wire
  digitalWrite(DISP_CS1, LOW);
  SPI.transfer(DISP1, 0x01, 0x1E);
  digitalWrite(DISP_CS1, HIGH);
// Select dispenser 2 and dispense 40mm of solder wire
  digitalWrite(DISP_CS2, LOW);
  SPI.transfer(DISP2, 0x01, 0x28);
