To do list:



Group

• compare as many tool options as possible

Individual

• write an application that interfaces a user with an input and\or output device that you made

Week 12 files:

Serial_test_pololu.ino (modified work from Polulu LSM303 sensor libraries)

Arduino_Compass.pde (work from Dejan Nedelkovski, howtomechatronics.com,details inside)

Week 12 "hero shot":

Group assignment

Individual assignment

Create an interface for a device you made

My goal for this assignment is to create an application to interface the user with the Polulu IMU.

After some research, I found this tutorial, explaining how to use processing IDE and arduino software to create an application interfacing an HMC5883L sensor.

The source code is freely available on the article, providing you give your email adress and accept to receive some news from the author.

It provides

• a .ino file for arduino software, to upload on the ship,
• a .pde file for processing IDE,
• and pictures for the compass application (to be place in the same folder as the .pde file).

The board I made during week 8 use a LSM303 sensor.

I have changed the .ino to read data from LSM303 sensor.

I keep the same .pde file as in the tutorial.

"How to mechatronic" compass application

I obtain the expected result with the board I made during week 8.

Customized compass application

I use my own images but with the same sizes and names as the ones from the tutorial.

Create an interface for a commercial device

Covid lockdown work

Video 1 shows APM2 interface when connected to Navio2 hat via UDP





The interface allows the user to visualize the drone attitude (position and orientation).
