Homework week 6

2010-07-02T13:59:00.000-07:00

1) relay research for your project (be really careful with electricity!!!)
2) arduino (daisy-chain) research for your project
3) write up comprehensive budget for both methods of completing project
4) using this program http://www.windmeadow.com/node/42 with wii numchuck, hack to then use data from wii to do something- that something is up to you. write up a tutorial.

relay -push button on arduino switches on 120V (light) for 20 seconds

2010-07-01T14:12:00.000-07:00

/*
relay on for 20 seconds

Turns on and off a relay connected to digital
pin 12, when pressing a push-button attached to pin 7.

The circuit:
* relay (ctrl) attached from pin 12 to ground
* pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V
* 10K resistor attached to pin 2 from ground

* Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board
attached to pin 13.

// constants won't change. They're used here to
// set pin numbers:
const int buttonPin = 2;     // the number of the pushbutton pin
const int pinout = 12;      // the number of the relay pin

// variables will change:
int buttonState = 0;         // variable for reading the pushbutton status

void setup() {
// initialize the relay pin as an output:
pinMode(pinout, OUTPUT);
// initialize the pushbutton pin as an input:
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT);
}

void loop(){
// read the state of the pushbutton value:
buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);

// check if the pushbutton is pressed.
// if it is, the buttonState is HIGH:
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
    // turn relay on:
    digitalWrite(pinout, HIGH);
   delay(20000);

    // turn LED off:

Temp/Humidity SHT 15 Sensor Test

I found this handy tutorial online by Maurice Ribble.
http://www.glacialwanderer.com/hobbyrobotics/?p=5

Setup arduino board and upload code. Set baud rate to 9600. The only trick is to remember to send a 't' or 'h' to the sensor via the serial port terminal to get your data back.
