FEBRUARY 27

Today, we continued with the schedule for the display to function. We had a problem because the numbers were beginning to be changed without pressing the button, for which we have had to revise the program to see where the problem was and how we could fix it.

FEBRUARY 23

This day, we have continued with the programming of the display, which is taking us more time than we thought because there are many small details that if they fail can prevent the other parts of the program doesn't work.

Here we leave our program so that the display function and a brief explanation:

FEBRUARY 21

Today, together with our teacher, we continued by adding information on Arduino to program the display. We have added information about the button.

To this day, here is a photo of the material we have mounted in the wake of the protoboard, the display and Arduino:

You can see that we already have the Arduino connected to the protoboard with the display connected too.

FEBRUARY 20

Today we are in the process of finalizing the details of the program to operate the meter via Arduino, everything that we needed to be ready.

We have recorded a video with the programming and explaining briefly how we did it:

FEBRUARY 16

Today we have started with the programming for the display that we will put in our parking project. On the blackboard, our teacher has explained to us what is necessary to be able to program it and this has been the programming that we have carried out. This is the part of our program with Arduino that we prepare today:

ARDUINO AND SERVOMOTOR

Here is a video on how to work with a servo motor and an Arduino, all you need to know in a simple video.

JANUARY 9

This day was the first day of class of the year, since we returned from holiday. We started the year up to the waist of informatics to continue with the pyoyecto of parking.

That day emepzamos to measure the breadboard and everything that we were going to meter dentrop building for that fit well within the space and not sobrase or missing space.

We measure everything and following that we began to cut, to filing and sanding the parts that we had cut, which would form part of the building.

LEDS WITH ARDUINO

Here's a video with a few references to learn and to switch on and switch off a led by Arduino:

FEBRUARY 7

This day we stay in the computer room finishing coding the arduino and we are also in the process of getting the sensor to capture an object 5cm away, at the same time that the servo motor rises when the sensor picks up an object. bar rises.

JANUARY 12

This day we climbed to the workshop to follow the parking. As we already had the house with the pieces of wood cut and built with the necessary measure we started gluing with a caulking gun and to wait until they were completely dry in order to decide where to place them.

JANUARY 19

This day we stayed at the computing workshop to continue doing the parking. Our professor gave us some ideas to improve the work, so that we could be better and get more out of it. Then, we were looking at how to adapt that idea to our parking so that you can be better.

We were also measuring the measures that should have the house where we're going to put the Arduino, the servo and the protoborad that fit right and do not need more space than we have.

¿WHAT IS ARDUINO?

Arduino is an electronic prototyping platform open-source hardware and software based on flexible and easy to use. It is intended for artists, designers, as a hobby and for anyone interested in creating interactive objects or environments.

Arduino can sense the environment by receiving inputs from a variety of sensors and can affect their around through the control of lights, motors, and other artifacts. The microcontroller of the plate is programd using the Arduino Programming Language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino Development Environment (based on Processing). The Arduino projects can be stand-alone or can communicate with software running on a computer (for example with MaxMSP, Processing, Flash, etc.).

The plates can be assembled by hand or order pre-assembled; software can be downloaded free of charge. The hardware reference designs (CAD files) are available under open source license, so you are free to adapt them to your needs.

Arduino ac honori received a mention in the digital section Communities of the Ars Electronica Prix in 2006.
