Assignment X Input devices

BEFORE YOU START. CHECK THE TUTORIAL FOR SOLDERING

board

This assignment is all about sensors. The main objective is to understand how do the sensors function and to think about their useful application.

My final project includes two sensors that will measure the temperature and humidity of humans body.

board

You can find the schematic`s example on the fab academy page

To make the temperature sensor, we need:

1) Four resistance of 10K

2) A capacitor

3) A header

4) A sensor

5) ATTINY45

6) FTDI

Draw your circuit in Eagle program.

Search for all the elements in the fab library. Make sure, that there are not any double line of the "net".

Give names for all the pins and connections. Label them.

More information in my tutorial "how to make the circuits in eagle".

 

 

board

When we`ve got all the sensors done, we are to program it.

Use AVR to verify if yours boards are funcioning (if they give a green light).

 

board Then connect the ISP board with computer and with your sensor.
board Here we have one temperature sensor, one optical (phototransistor) sensor, one txrx (output, input), one button sensor and two ISP.
board

The button sensor

consists of:

ATTINY45; a button; a capacitor; FTDI; header; and the resistance of 10K.

board Its also the temperature sensor that detects the decreasing temperature
board This is the ISP - a board that we use to program all the inputs and outputs
board The phototransistor. Detects the differencies of the light.
board This is anothe ISP. The first one did not function.

THE PROGRAMMING PART

WATCH THE VIDEO! LOAD BOARD AND TEMPERATURE BOARD PROGRAMMING

Load board To program the TXRX or the load board use the ISP, FTDI cable and the usb cable.
Load Error
Load fuses OK
Here you can see how we can detect that the board is well-soldered and can proceed to the programming part.
Temperature´s sensor fuses OK
