F week 12 FabAcademy 2016

week twelve

Goal of this week is Add an output device to a micro controller board you've designed and program it to do something



output devices

First, I start to study about several output devices for connecting with my microcontroller board. An output device is any device used to send data from a electrical circuit/ computer to another device or user



Light-emitting diode (LED)

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p-n junction diode, which emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor

Liquid-crystal display (LCD)

A liquid-crystal display (LCD) is a flat-panel display or other electronic visual display that uses the light-modulating properties of liquid crystals. Liquid crystals do not emit light directly. LCDs are available to display arbitrary images (as in a general-purpose computer display) or fixed images with low information content, which can be displayed or hidden, such as preset words, digits, and 7-segment displays as in a digital clock. They use the same basic technology, except that arbitrary images are made up of a large number of small pixels, while other displays have larger elements






Piezo Buzzer

Piezo buzzer is an electronic out put device commonly used to produce sound. Light weight, simple construction and low price make it usable in various applications like car/truck reversing indicator, computers, call bells etc .Piezo buzzer is based on the inverse principle of piezo electricity discovered in 1880 by Jacques and Pierre Curie. It is the phenomena of generating electricity when mechanical pressure is applied to certain materials and the vice versa is also true. Such materials are called piezo electric materials






Speaker

A loudspeaker (or loud-speaker or speaker) is an electroacoustic transducer; which converts an electrical audio signal into a corresponding sound.





The most widely used type of speaker today is the dynamic speaker, invented in 1925 by Edward W. Kellogg and Chester W. Rice. The dynamic speaker operates on the same basic principle as a dynamic microphone, but in reverse, to produce sound from an electrical signal. When an alternating current electrical audio signal is applied to its voice coil, a coil of wire suspended in a circular gap between the poles of a permanent magnet, the coil is forced to move rapidly back and forth due to Faraday's law of induction, which causes a diaphragm (usually conically shaped) attached to the coil to move back and forth, pushing on the air to create sound waves. Besides this most common method,


Analog vs. Digital




An analog or analogue signal is any continuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity,.

A digital signal refers to an electrical signal that is converted into a pattern of bits. Unlike an analog signal, which is a continuous signal that contains time-varying quantities, a digital signal has a discrete value at each sampling point.






Analog device is usually a combination of both analog machine and analog media that can together measure, record, reproduce, or broadcast continuous information, for example, the almost infinite number of grades of transparency, voltage, resistance, rotation, or pressure






A digital device is an electronic device which uses discrete, numerable data and processes for all its operations. The alternative type of device is analog, which uses continuous data and processes for any operations. Any device which uses a computer of any sort in its operations is at least partially digital.






Then I star to design my microcontroller board with a speaker

Design the board


software: Eagle

First part of this weeks' assignment was design the board on eagle software. This week I also came across some very useful tutorials on board layout design in Eagle .

I try to make neils example hello.speaker.45 board with a speaker to see which tones I can generate with a simple circuit








The designed a board allows a 12V or 9V power supply to connect to the speaker and a 5V regulator that provides VCC to the rest of the board. Then a MOSFET, a 4 pin header for programing the micro controller ,1k resistor and 1uf capacitor

In the boar used a MOSFE. The MOSFET is metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET), a type of transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.

Stuffing the board

Components I used for the board
The designed a board allows a 12V or 9V power supply to connect to the speaker and a 5V regulator that provides VCC to the rest of the board.


5V voltage regulator .In this boar I am using LM3480IM3-5

Then a n- channel MOSFET, for amplifying microcontroller PWM signal

The MOSFET is metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET, MOS-FET, or MOS FET), a type of transistor used for amplifying or switching electronic signals.
                 



In this boar I am using NDS355AN MOSFET



a 4 pin header for programing the micro controller ,1k resistor and 1uf capacitor






Programming the board

Programming the board using Arduino IDE. I intended to serial connect this board using the ISP connection.

The board was then connected to the programmer isp board/computer then burn program to micro controller .

The main sketch for Arduino speaker is as follows



#include"pitches.h"


int melody[] = {
  NOTE_D4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_FS4, NOTE_A4,
  NOTE_G4, NOTE_C5, NOTE_AS4, NOTE_A4,                   
  NOTE_FS4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_A4, NOTE_FS4, NOTE_DS4, NOTE_D4,

  NOTE_C4, NOTE_D4, 0,
  NOTE_C4, NOTE_D4, NOTE_G4, NOTE_FS4, NOTE_DS4,
  NOTE_C4, NOTE_D4, END
  
};

// note durations: 8 = quarter note, 4 = 8th note, etc.
int noteDurations[] = {       //duration of the notes
  8,4,8,4,
  4,4,4,12,
  4,4,4,4,4,4,
  4,16,4,
  
  8,4,8,4,
  4,2,1,1,2,1,1,12,
  4,4,4,4,4,4,
  4,16,4,
  
  4,4,4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,12,
  4,4,4,4,4,4,
  4,4,4,12,
  
  4,4,4,4,4,4,
  2,1,1,2,1,1,4,8,4,
  2,6,4,2,6,4,
  2,1,1,16,4,
  
  4,8,4,4,4,
  4,16,4,
  4,8,4,4,4,
  4,20,
};

int speed=90;  //higher value, slower notes
void setup() {

  Serial.begin(9600);
  for (int thisNote = 0; melody[thisNote]!=-1; thisNote++) {

    int noteDuration = speed*noteDurations[thisNote];
    tone(3, melody[thisNote],noteDuration*.95);
    Serial.println(melody[thisNote]);

    delay(noteDuration);

    noTone(3);
  }
}

void loop() {
  // no need to repeat the melody.
}




then i create a new pitches.h file. To make that, either click on the button just below the serial monitor icon and choose "New Tab", or use Ctrl+Shift+N. Then make in the following code. And save it as pitches.h file.

After programing , the speaker and battery were connected to the board, with a connector to their relevant pins (The wires need to be connected to ground and vcc):
