March 24th, 2016 meeting: Today we: 1) went over the code from the previous meeting 2) improved it (temperature is measured only once when the push button is pressed) 3) got rid of Crystal Ball part, but instead added a piezo element to implement the knock lock. Idea: when the push button is pressed, the temperature is read and displayed, and the door is locked; when the push button is released we can try to unlock the door (3 knocks for a start) Slides: tempAndKnockLock.pdf Programs: p03_p11_CrystalBall_TemperatureFixed.ino, p03_p12_Temperature_KnockLock.ino February 25th, 2016 meeting: Today's meeting was devoted mostly to programming. We began to work with pre-wired sets of Arduino. This is a mix of two projects: Project 02 Love-O-Meter and Project 11 Crystal Ball. presentation: 2016-02-25Meeting/tempAndCrystalBallReadings.pdf Program we did: p03_p11_CrystalBall_Temperature.ino Future meeting plans: we will continue to play with the program, because 1) so far we got this weird "fast changing" temperature readings when the button is pressed - need to fix it, and 2) how about improving the accuracy of the reading? October 8th, 2015 meeting: We started with pre-wires for SpaceShip project Arduino sets, went over the program, then uploaded another code (for the same set-up) Traffic Light and saw its work. Then we proceeded to the third project: Love-O-Meter. October 1st, 2015 meeting: CPH308, 12:00pm - 1:15pm Sources/Handouts: Handout with pictures: HandoutWithPicturesOfProjects.pdf Slides: ArduinoIntroWorkshop.pdf Traffic light program: TrafficLight.ino.ino To get free Arduino software (version 1.6.5): https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software |
