[WEEK13] Input Device

0.Outline

What I made



I tried to measure illumination with photo transistor in this assignment.

STEP1: Studying a circuit and program to use light sensor by using Arduino UNO & sensor module.
STEP2: Making two cicuit boards. I made micro processor board and photo transistor board separraterly.
STEP3: Programming to the board and mesuring illumination.

1.Test on Arduino UNO

At first I used CDS sensor module and Arduino UNO for practice. This module includes CDS sensor, resistor, and pin header.

CDS sensor kit:



I conected pins and write program to read analog values of illumination and display on Serial monitor. I used map function to convert the range of maximum value and minimam value, and invert them.
I studied how to use light sensor through this trial.

2.Circuit design(Micro processor board)

2.1 Making EAGLE library

2.2 Circuit design

I designed circuit with EAGLE. This board was based on hello echo board. I remove the LED and button from it, and added the pin header to the vacant pin of ATTINY 44.

Parts list
Part name P/Number Quantity
ATTiny44A-SSU 1
Capacitor 1uF 1
Resistor 10K ohm 2
20MHz Resonator 1
6-pin programming header 2
FTDI header 1
3-pin header 1





2.3 Maiking Circuit board

I created tool path data with Fabmodules and milled circuit board with SRM-20. And then, I soldered all parts.

dpi:500
cut depth (mm): 0.1
tool diameter (mm): 0.2
number of offsets: 3
offset overlap (%): 50

3.Circuit design(Light sensor board)

3.1 Circuit design

I used photo transistor to mesuring illuminance. The circuit diagram is as follows.
In order to prevent an excessive current, it required at least 250 ohms of resistance.Since I only had 499 ohm resistance at hand, I used it.

Parts list
Part name P/Number Quantity
Photo transistor PT15-21C/TR8 1
Resistor 499K ohm 1
3-pin header 1



In the same way as before, drawing a circuit diagram with EAGLE and creating png data for milling.





3.2 Maiking Circuit board

I used Fabmodules and SRM-20 just like above. And then I soldered all parts.

dpi:500
cut depth (mm): 0.1
tool diameter (mm): 0.4
number of offsets: 4
offset overlap (%): 50

4.Programming

At first, I tried to program .c file (hello.light.45.c) with makefile. But it was failed. When I did meke clean command, the following message was shown. I couldn't fix this bug. So I decided to write a program using arduino IDE.

After burning bootloader on ATTINY44 and proram the following sketch. The workflow is described in assignment 8

After programing, I took off the programmer(AVRISP mk2) and connected the photo transistor board. When opening the serial monitor, the sensor value was displayed.



When illuminating the phototransistor or covering it by hand, it changed in response to it.
