WEEK 11: output devices

Assignments

individual assignment

add an output device to a microcontroller board you've designed, and program it to do something

group assignment

HERE you can check what we did on this week group assignment

E-CAD

As i intend to use a dc motor with an MCU i don't wanna burn the microcontroler so i have to relevate the current from the micro to send the signals.

nothing fancy i just wanna to control on and off of a motor and measure it's power at full speed

so i used this dc motor from roboshop

i know all of the components on this board are pretty basic but i had to use my early years of electronics to make this.

basicly allow me to use an external power supply like a 9V batery to energize the relay coil.

and the samd11c only send pulses to a mosftet that make the function as a switch.

Vcarve

v-carve pro 9.012

as always i used vcarvepro to generate the toolpaths so i don't waste time using mods.

Milling/Soldering

screenshot of the power supply

this is the power consumption of the motor

my final project has a lot of signals going in and out and i made my own input board aswell. because i'm no programmer.

i can't write some fancy code.

so i've tried to keepin' it simple

it's only a switch/case command that reads the value of the serial monitor and turns on and off a signal.
