N5110 (PinName const pwrPin, PinName const scePin, PinName const rstPin, PinName const dcPin, PinName const mosiPin, PinName const sclkPin, PinName const ledPin)

Library for interfacing with Nokia 5110 LCD display (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/10168) using the hardware SPI on the mbed. The display is powered from a GPIO pin meaning it can be controlled via software. The LED backlight is also software-controllable (via PWM pin). Can print characters and strings to the display using the included 5x7 font. The library also implements a screen buffer so that individual pixels on the display (84 x 48) can be set, cleared and read. The library can print primitive shapes (lines, circles, rectangles) Acknowledgements to Chris Yan"s Nokia_5110 Library.

Below is a snippet of the example LCD control code. This small novella of a sketch shows off an array of graphics driver functions, character drawing tools, and other useful functions to help you get started using the LCD. You will need to include the LCD_Functions.h header in the same directory as the sketch folder from the download. Otherwise, your code will not compile when uploading to Arduino.

Heads up! If the display is not showing pixels even with the correct logic levels and example code, it may just have slight variances in the way that they were manufactured. You can see the pixels faintly on the screen at an angle or pushing down on the LCD. You will need to try and set the contrast where it says setContrast(40) on line 87 to a value of 60. There is probably some variances in the LCD’s contrast which might explain why certain LCDs have issues displaying defined pixels on the screen.

Once uploaded to your Arduino, the sketch will begin by running the demo -- a set of basic animations and graphics functions. To begin, we"ll draw some random pixels on the screen ("It"s full of stars..."). Then we"ll move on to examples of drawing lines, rectangles, and circles. Throughout there are examples of drawing characters and strings. Finally the demo closes out with an homage to a monochrome comic which seems a perfect fit for this little monochrome LCD.

After the demo runs its course, the sketch will enter into a serial echo mode. Open the serial monitor (set the baud rate to 9600 bps), and type stuff over to the Arduino. It should start printing everything you send it onto the LCD.

The Dell Inspiron N5110 is an old laptop with so many great features like an incredible processor performance. Furthermore, this laptop offers quite a number of ports. However, like most Inspiron laptops, this laptop is quite heavy.

This review contains detailed information about the Dell Inspiron N5110’s design, dimension, and weight. Moreover, the processor, memory, storage, graphics, and battery performance of the laptop will also be discussed in this review.

Also, I will be comparing the Dell Inspiron N5110 with some of its close competitors in various sections of this review. Furthermore, I will be rating this Dell laptop on a scale of one to ten in every section of this review.

Thus, to add to its large collection of laptops, in 2011, Dell released the Inspiron N5110. The Dell Inspiron N5110 is a well-designed laptop that bags a lot of reasonable hardware specifications.

Design-wise, the Dell Inspiron N5110 features quite a classy design, which isn’t particularly expected from a 10-year-old laptop – the laptop was released in 2011.

To give more details, this Dell laptop offers a glossy plastic chassis. Although this Dell laptop is mostly made of plastic, the overall build quality of the Dell Inspiron N5110 is quite solid.

In fact, the laptop is so solid that you will hardly notice any flexing around its chassis. To make things even better, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers a wide range of colors to choose from including black, blue, red, and so on.

Upon opening the lid, you will see a 15.6-inch display with a glossy coating and an HD (1366 x 768) resolution. Moreover, this glossy 15.6-inch display is made with an IPS panel.

Moving on to the keyboard, the Dell Inspiron N5110 comes with a chiclet-style keyboard. This keyboard features matte-black keys with white lettering on the top.

In terms of ports, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers a large number of ports. To start with, the laptop features a USB Type-A port, an HDMI port, a USB/eSATA port, and a SO-DIMM slot on the left side.

When it comes to dimension and weight, the Dell Inspiron N5110 measures 376 x 260.2 x 31.4 – 35.2 mm (W x D x H) and weighs 2650 g. With this amount of weight, this Dell laptop is quite heavy and bulky.

However, the laptop should be able to fit nicely in a backpack even though it won’t be particularly comfortable to carry around. Moreover, the Dell Inspiron N5110 weighs less than one of its closest competitors, the Medion Erazer X6817.

In conclusion, although the Dell Inspiron N5110 is bulky and heavy, it features an appealing glossy design. Also, this laptop comes with a large number of ports all distributed around the laptop.

For the processor, the Dell Inspiron N5110 comes with an Intel Core i7-2670QM processor. In terms of speed, this processor offers a base frequency of 2.20 GHz and a boost frequency of 3.10 GHz.

Performance-wise, this processor should be able to handle basically anything you throw at it due to its high clock speed of 3.10 GHz. Therefore, the Dell Inspiron N5110 should be able to run demanding applications likeCorel Draw and also multitask with ease.

Thus, on the Cinebench R10 test, the Dell Inspiron N5110 recorded 4823 points in the single-core test. On the other hand, the laptop recorded 17967 points in the Cinebench R10 multi-core test.

Impressively, the Dell Inspiron N5110 performed better than most of the laptops in its category. For example, the HP Envy 17 3D recorded 4628 points in the Cinebench R10 single-core test.

Also, this HP laptop recorded 17823 points in the multi-core test. Before concluding this section, it is worth stating that the Dell Inspiron N5110 and HP Envy 17 3D use the same processor.

Speaking of multitasking, the Dell Inspiron N5110 should be able to run 15 chrome tabs simultaneously without lagging. Moreover, when these chrome tabs are running, you should also be able to stream two videos on YouTube.

For storage, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers a 5400 RPM SATA HDD (Hard Disk Drive) storage type. This laptop’s storage drive offers a maximum storage capacity of 500 GB HDD storage.

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that the higher the MBps value in this benchmark test, the faster the computer’s storage speed. Therefore, according to the CrystalDiskMark test, the Dell Inspiron N5110 recorded a sequential read speed of 63.69 MBps.

Impressively, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers two graphics card options. These graphics card options include an Intel HD Graphics 3000 and an NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M.

Notwithstanding, the graphics card is powerful enough to run most outdated games with ease. For example, with the GPU, the Dell Inspiron N5110 should be able to deliver a frame rate of around 100 fps when playing Resident Evil 5.

That said, with its NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M GPU, let us now discuss the Dell Inspiron N5110’s performance on a 3DMark 05 test. Before proceeding, I would like to explain the meaning of the 3DMark 05 test.

Thus, according to the 3DMark 05 test results, the Dell Inspiron N5110 scored 5548 points. Comparatively, this laptop performed slightly better than the Lenovo ThinkPad L520 which scored 5302 points on the benchmark test.

In conclusion, for a non-gaming laptop, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers decent graphics performance. Moreover, this laptop offers multiple graphics card options including a dedicated graphics card.

For the battery department, the Dell Inspiron N5110 comes with a 6-cell 90 Whr Lithium-ion battery. Dell claims that this laptop’s battery has a runtime of up to 9 hours.

At the end of this battery test, the Dell Inspiron N5110 delivered a battery life of 4 hours and 20 minutes. Even though this battery life is decent, it is way less than Dell’s 9 hours claim.

On a positive note, according to the web-surfing battery test, the Dell Inspiron N5110 has a better battery life compared to the Dell Vostro 3750. Specifically, the Dell Vostro 3750 lasted only 3 hours and 11 minutes on the web-surfing battery test.

To conclude this battery review section, I will rate the Dell Inspiron N5110 an eight out of ten. This rating is due to the fact that the laptop performed better than one of its competitors on a battery test.

Yes, the Dell Inspiron N5110 offers two GPU options. These options include an integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000 and a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M.

The Dell Inspiron N5110 is a ten years old laptop that is still very much adequate in today’s world. To give more details, this laptop offers a powerful and fast processor that can handle most computing tasks.

However, this Dell laptop is somewhat bulky and heavy. Nevertheless, if you value performance more than portability, the Dell Inspiron N5110 is an ideal choice!

This tutorial on "How to use a NOKIA 5110 LCD screen" is different from the all the tutorial that are available online because I"m not going to use any library in this tutorial(No worries!! it"s pretty easy,which i figured out after trying without libraries). I"m not using any libraries just because it makes it easy to understand how the LCD screen works. I mean what block of code(or a command, u"ll know in the upcoming steps) does. It makes it easy to control the graphics on the LCD screen. I"m going to write another tutorial after this tutorial on how to play "SNAKE GAME" using this NOKIA 5110 LCD screen.

The NOKIA 5110 LCD screen has a resolution of 84x48(or 48x84, however you read it) i.e. the screen has pixels arranged in 84 rows and 48 columns making a total of 4032 pixels (84*48=4032). So, since a NOKIA 5110 LCD screen is called a "Graphical LCD screen", one has access to all the pixels, i mean, access to control each and every pixel individually(you know what I mean) unlike some of the LCD screens which are named as "Alphanumeric LCD Displays" where one can access a block of pixels, generally 7x5 and place only a single alphabet or a number in that block of 7x5. If you have already worked with some alphanumeric LCD screens earlier(without any libraries), you are half-way done. In case, you haven"t worked with one earlier, no probs. I"ll let you know every possible detail I know.

So, as said earlier, the above image shows the arrangement of pixels in 48 rows and 84 columns( or vice-versa). Just like how each block in a alphanumeric LCD screens is addressed by a unique 8-bit code, every 8 pixels in the NOKIA 5110 LCD screen are assigned with a unique 8-bit address. So, let me explain about this 8 pixels grouping in the NOKIA 5110 LCD screen. Every 8 pixels vertically is grouped, as shown above and let"s call it a block(different from the alphanumeric LCD screen"s block). So, each block has a unique address to access it.

Some NOKIA 5110 LCD screens operate at 3.3V as Vcc while some can work with both 5V and 3.3V. Mine is a 5V version which works even when plugged to 3.3V.

NOKIA 5110 LCD screen uses SPI protocol as one can find a DIN pin which can also be call as MOSI(Master-Out Slave-In). So, all we gonna do is just pass commands with a couple of 8-bit data through the DIN pin while using the other pins(like DC, CE and CLK pins) simultaneously and appropriately.

This is the total code which displays two rectangular boxes on the LCD screen as shown below. If you are having trouble getting the output, feel free to ping me or comment down below.

This line means that when ever i type "LCD_CE" anywhere in my code, it gets replace with "7", which is the pin of arduino to which I"ve connected the CE pin of LCD screen. And similarly, all the other pins. I"ve also declared LCD_C and LCD_D which I"ll explain in the upcoming steps.

The elements in this array are the one which decide the graphics that are displayed on the LCD screen. As I"ve said earlier, every 8 bits on the LCD screen are grouped together, every element in this array are 8-bit(2-digits in hexadecimal). Suppose, let us consider the first element of the element as 0xF0. 0xF0 in hexadecimal is equivalent to 0b11110000 in binary. So, when the 0xF0 is sent to the LCD screen(i"ll discuss about it in the next step), the first four pixels in the first group of 8-vertically grouped pixels(as discussed in STEP-1) are made dark(black) as the first four bits in the input data are "1" and similarly, the remaining 4-bits are not darkened as they are "0".

As I said earlier, the NOKIA 5110 LCD screen can be communicated with SPI or through the MOSI pin i.e. DIN pin on the LCD screen. So, we need to send 8-bit commands or data to work with the display. The commands are so simple. One need not prefer to remember them if you can refer to datasheet of NOKIA 5110 LCD screen when ever needed. I"ve included a page of the data sheet in the next step.

So, as mentioned in the datasheet, before sending the data or command to the LCD screen, we need to make the CE(chip enable) pin low and make it high again after sending the command.(Basically, CE pin is an active low pin. So, make it low to use the LCD screen). also, we need to make the DC(data/command) pin low for command and high for data.

The LCD_Write command takes in two parameters, 1. Data/Command and 2. 8-bit data. Depending on the Data/Command, the DC pin is made low or high for command or data respectively. shiftOut() is a function available in SPI.h but is also included by default and so we need not include the SPI.h library seperately.

First, setting up the CE, RESET, DC, DIN, CLK as outputs, we continue to reset the LCD screen just to make sure all the garbage values in the pixels are cleared. Next we send some commands, which set-up the LCD screen. You can have a look at all the commands in the data sheet.

After initialization, ofcouse, we need to execute this LCD_Initialise() function in the setup() function of the arduino. Also need to setup serial communication using Serial.begin(9600) where 9600 is the baud rate. After that, we are ready to go to display the graphics on LCD screen.void LCD_Initialise(void){

So, we know how to initialize the LCD screen, we know how to communicate with the LCD screen, we know how the LCD screen works, but we don"t know how to display the graphics of our owe choice. To do that, we need to know how to convert any image into bitmap. The image must be in "BLACK AND WHITE", if not conver it into B&W using some software.

Generally, I use GIMP and LCDAssistant(and paint.net) softwares. Again, try getting Google"s help in knowing how to use GIMP to convert a B&W image to Gray scale and I"m going to tell you about LCD Assistant and paint.net.

This software is used to draw any image which you want to display on the LCD screen. Sounds cool, isn"t it?? For example, you can display your name in your handwriting or some cool stuff. Again, go to Google and find a video which can help you with until I post a video.

Now, you are ready to use a NOKIA 5110 LCD screen.Do comment bellow if you have any doubts.Do comment bellow if I"ve gone wrong somewhere.Do comment bellow your experience, if you have done one.

I"m working on the LCD screen. I"m already working on some games that can be played with this LCD screen. Will surely try to do it and put it up here.

No, to view 3D you need to have either special glasses (coloured, polarised or with LCD shutters) or a special screen. There"s no filter or the like that you can place onto the screen.

as per my understanding, W510 has 3d card, but its screen is not 3d ready. If i dont have 3D screen, and only have 3d glasses (say polarised or with LCD shutters), i will be able to see 3D? 3D glasses can not work without special screen, no?

I come across a website while browsing about watching 3D in your computer since this topic interests me and according to the site I"ve found (http://darktips.com/how-to-watch-3d-movies-on-your-computer/). It is very possible to watch 3D movies on your computer nowadays but you must check if your laptop"s lcd supports 3D. You must also have a 3D vision kit and a 3D graphic card installed in your computer.

Yes, You can watch any 3D movie on your HD Lcd or Laptop with 3D glasses (Red and Cyan), you dont require any 3D compatible monitor. How????..... Download software directly or through torrent the "CYBERLINK POWER DVD 12 ultra" or "WINDVD11". load it into your hard disk and play any 3D content in 3D mode , wear the glasses and enjoy. The glasses are too expensive from Rs 6000-11500, but i have an idea to purchase it at lowest cost as Rs 190, go to www.flipkart.com and search for books with 3-D glasses, purchase any lowest cost book. The book will be delivered to your address, now you have your glasses to enjoy the movie.I have a lot of 3D movies and enjoy everyday on my ordinary LCD monitor.
