Arduino Calculator

FINALLY! I'm done with my arduino calculator! Can now strike it off my bucket list. I sure did take my time to finish it. Started working on this shortly after my 12th board exams (28-03-2013). Had my college entrance exams in between, so I couldn't find time to work on it for more than 6 weeks. I needed jumper wires for connecting my keypad to the breadboard, which weren't available at any store nearby. Thanks to my cousin, Yogesh for linking me to simplelabs. Ordered it online and received it the very next day! (which is weird where I live :P).

This schematic was created with Fritzing, an awesome open source application for prototyping and documenting. You can download it from here

You're gonna have to import the keypad library for you to be able to use the keypad. Extract it into your arudino directory /libraries folder, and you're good to go. You might as well download my .ino file from here.

This is a basic calculator. It is stable and I will continue to make this better and add more functionality as and when I find time. Feel free to share it and suggest improvements.

  1. Hey Steve, you need to place the Keypad library in your Arduino directory --> \Arduino\libraries\
    Download the Keypad library from http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/Keypad

  2. Hey Vathsav,
    Where Can I download the LCD library from?

      Make sure you place the LCD library in the Arduino\libraries\ directory.

  3. I'm new to Aurduino.
    But i think the code bellow would reduce your code size a lot??

    if (op == '+'){
    ans = num1.toInt() + num2.toInt();
    }
    else if (op == '-'){
    ans = num1.toInt() - num2.toInt();
    }
    else if (op == '*'){
    ans = num1.toInt() * num2.toInt();
    }
    else if (op == '/'){
    ans = num1.toInt() / num2.toInt();
    }

    lcd.clear();
    lcd.setCursor(15,0);
    lcd.autoscroll();
    lcd.print(ans);
    lcd.noAutoscroll();

    1. Yes, It does reduce the size. I've changed it. :)

    1. The Arduino's int range is -32,768 to 32,767. You can use the 'long' datatype if you're working on large numbers. Long has a range -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647.
