10. Output devices

WEEK 10

This week’s assignments are:

  • To add an output device to a microcontroller board I designed, and program it to do something
  • To measure the power consumption of an output device(Group Assignment added HERE)

Building & Programming my Board

I followed this SAMD21E17/E18 devkit board to build a board to connect an OLED display panel as my output device using fusion

To give it a personal touch I rearranged the components and to us as minimal components I gave it a USB footprint so that we can mill the USB footprint, rather than soldering the USB connector as done in the link

When we tried programming the board some error showed up and when I checked my schematic I noticed that there was an error in my schematic where I connected the resistor to Ground rather than VDD so instead of re-milling the PCB I desoldered the resistor and attached it to the VDD trace

We were able to program the board but the USB wasn’t being recognized by the computer in order to program the board and noticed many errors such as I had used a 100Ohms resistor to the RESET pin where I had to use a 10K resistor and also noticed that my USB Data+ and Data- were given to the wrong pins on the board

OLED Display(Output Device)


OLED Display

OLED(Organic Light Emitting Diode) is a light-emitting diode in which the emissive electroluminescent layer is a film of organic compound that emits light in response to an electric current

Connections It is very simple to work with OLED display using I2C using the following code for printing “Hello World”…

Stepper Motor - Nema 17 (Output Device)


Nema 17

Since my final project involves stepper motors I decided to try it out as well A stepper motor, also known as step motor or stepping motor, is a brushless DC electric motor that divides a full rotation into a number of equal steps hence called a stepper motor

Using an A4988 driver we can control the nema-17 using just 2 pins

I also made a board on which we can seat an a4988 driver

Using the following code you can spin the motor clock-wise and counter clock-wise

const int dirPin = 1;
const int stepPin = 0;
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200;

void setup()
{
  // Declare pins as Outputs
  pinMode(stepPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(dirPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{
  // Set motor direction clockwise
  digitalWrite(dirPin, HIGH);

  for (int x = 0; x < stepsPerRevolution; x++)
  {
    digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
    digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
  }

  // Set motor direction counterclockwise
  digitalWrite(dirPin, LOW);

  for (int x = 0; x < stepsPerRevolution; x++)
  {
    digitalWrite(stepPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
    digitalWrite(stepPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(1000);
  }
}

By changing the of ‘stepsPreRevolution’ you can increase of decrease the number steps per revoultion and by increasing the value of ‘delayMicroseconds()’ you can low down the motor
