Week 11 - Input Devices

This week assignment was to measure something with a sensor and microcontroller and design a PCB

Making PCB

For this week i mainly needed a magnetic board and a button board. I decided to make six input board just to have them ready but the focus would be on the button and magnetic board.

At first I wanted to try making the sensor boards that were shown in the lecture to get an idea of how they talk to the PC

I had problem with the top cable not working

I made two circuits, a magnet one and one with button,the plan is to use them for the final project

Button board

Magnet sensor board

trying out the programs

After making the board i tried to put the programs on them I tried to make changes to the python file to change the color interface and the value range.I also looked at the data coming from the magnet board.



Design

after looking at the board's I wanted to design a magnetic board based on the hello.mag.45 board I needed to be able to use the TX as well to i connected that to PB0

  • INPMAGNBOARD.sch
  • oINPMAGNBOARD.brd

  • The tape got lose at the first go.

    Other than small problem with the doble tape everthing whent well.
