Book Project

Sue Brandt Arduino Project 7-10-13 Interactive with LEDS

Objective

Using arduino and xbee technology create a small closed system to create a fun interactive book for 3 year old child.

Book accessories include wand and crown.

Planning

1. Obtain materials

2. Test ardiuno

3. Test xbee through serial port using XCTU

4. Test xbee for wireless operation using XCTU and terra term software

5. Create system diagram

6. Design control circuit and test

7. Write sketch for control circuit

8. Design wireless receiver circuit

9. Write sketch for receiver circuit

Planning continued

10. Test communication's between wireless circuits

11. Insert magnet switches

12. Test switches

13. Test wireless communications

14. Create wiring harness for book

15. Create wiring harness for receiver system.

16. Test book, wand and crown.

Sketch for receiver /* / for interative childrens book version 1 // reciever program name:_3_color_reciever_crown //this projects program name_3_color_LED_redand_Blue_andgreen_controlver4 //july 10, 2013 */

const int LEDRed = 13;// the number of the Red LED pin const int LEDBlue = 12; //the number of the Blue Led pin const int LEDGreen = 11;// the number of the green led pin int incomingByte; //a variable to read incoming serial data

//int val = 0; //val will be stored the state of the input pin Red //int valB = 0; //val will be stored the state of the input pin Blue //int old_valR= 0;// this variable stores the previous value red //int old_valB = 0; // this variable stores the previouse value blue //int stateR = 0; //0=Led red off and 1= Led red on //int stateB= 0; // 0= led blue off and 1= led blue on

Setup for receiver

void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); pinMode(LEDRed, OUTPUT);//Red

Led as output pinMode (LEDBlue, OUTPUT); //Blue

Led as output pinMode (LEDGreen, OUTPUT);

//Greeen led as output }

Program for receiver void loop() { if (Serial.available()) { incomingByte = Serial.read(); Serial.println(incomingByte); delay(100); //valB = Serial.read(); //delay(100); if (incomingByte == 'R') { digitalWrite(LEDRed, HIGH); } if (incomingByte == 'r') { digitalWrite(LEDRed, LOW); }

Program for receiver cont. if (incomingByte == 'B') { digitalWrite(LEDBlue, HIGH); } if (incomingByte == 'b') { digitalWrite(LEDBlue, LOW); }

Program for receiver end if (incomingByte == 'G') { digitalWrite(LEDGreen, HIGH); } if (incomingByte == 'g'){ digitalWrite (LEDGreen, LOW); } } } /* The joys of summer! */

Lights ON!!

Conclusion

Unit works. External harnesses need to be made. Book content to be produced.
