Who could help me with some simple Adruino programming?

[Robin Zwama]

Hi all!

Last wednesday I was at Xinchejian to see if I could find someone who'd like to help me with my project, so I subscribed and ended up here ;)

I'm an industrial design student from The Netherlands doing my final project at a design company here in Shanghai. In the last 4 months I've been developing a kids toy which responds to different actions (I can tell/show you more in detail later when we start it).

I have a little over two weeks left and as an extra I would really like to have a very simple prototype just for this balancing/jumping function, so I bought an Adruino pack and a compatible accelerometer. Now I've got no experience in programming and electronics at all, so that's why I'm asking for help here (cash/food/whatever reward + special thanks in my thesis report), I guess to you it most be pretty simple. Basically what I'd like it to do is:

1) Tilt it to the left: LED 1 flashes

2) Tilt it to the right: LED 3 flashes

3) Shake it (jump): LED 2 flashes

(Of course it would even be better to have a sequence memory game programmed, but I'd already be happy if it could only do these 3 things).

If one/some of you could help me out, it would be very very much appreciated, so thanks a lot in advance!

Cheers :)

you need a mag sensor and an Acceleration sensor for detecting tilt and shake situation.

Hey thanks for your reply, I bought this 3-axis ADXL335 accelerometer (see image below) which is compatible with the Adruino. In a reply from Adruino support I was told that this could measure tilting and jumping/shaking.

I think I have all the needed components (Adruino pack with all the wires etc, Accelerometer, LED's)... The accelerometer can do the job, right?

[单一帆]

yes, it can do the job.

Do you think you could help me program it?

[nihaopaul]

I will be willing to give you 30 minutes on wednesday as long as you have your LEDs breadboarded and blinking one after the other with 500 milliseconds between them.

[Robin Zwama]

OK thanks Paul, what time at Wednesday'd be good for you?

[nihaopaul]

Say 530pm? If you don't have your blinken lights as described before make sure to tell me so I don't take off of work early for no reason.

Paul

[Robin Zwama]

Sounds good, I'll let you know tomorrow if I got the LEDs blinking. (It's also OK for me if it's later in the evening if that works out better for you).

[Paul Adams]

you've been on a wednesday before? it's better before the event.

Yesss got it working :D

Just in case, is this the code you need as a starting point?

// SEQUENCE MEMORY TEST

// 3 LED LIGHTS FLASHING IN SEQEUNCE

int led1 = 10;

int led2 = 11;

int led3 = 12;

void setup() {

pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);

pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);

pinMode(led3, OUTPUT);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);

delay(500);

digitalWrite(led1, LOW);

delay(500);

digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);

delay(500);

digitalWrite(led2, LOW);

delay(500);

digitalWrite(led3, HIGH);

delay(500);

digitalWrite(led3, LOW);

delay(500);

}

great, look forward to seeing it working tomorrow.

I'd appreciate that ^^

[Robin Zwama]

Thanks again Paul for your help! 

[nihaopaul]

No worries. So you are on for next Wednesday to present your piece?

[Robin Zwama]

This Wednesday I can't make it, but how about the 5th of June, so next week?

[nihaopaul]

5th of June we either have iot rob van kronenburg or Massimo from arduino not sure which Wednesday they have. So no to 5th. Sure you cannot make Wednesday?
