Hello, Its been some time since the last update to be exact 2 weeks. Lots of progress and some roadblocks that I will be discussing later on. First for Time line of Stage 3:Stage 3: InterfacingPrerequisite for this stage is the arrival of a...
A Floral Bokeh Here is a picture of the Ring with white selected. The following are self portraits done using the Light Ring without the flash enabled and with the camera hand held. With the first attempt you can see the reflection fro...
Sick of Blurry Photos? You just can't outsmart a PSoC!I'm sick of blurry photos and flash photography going wrong so I quickly constructed this Camera Lens lighting ring.It should work with my digital still and video cameras.It consists of 24...
On my last post I mentioned about moving all code into PSoC4 and shrinking the board. So that is what I am doing. Moving all the code into the PSoC4 was fairly easy. Next step is to remove the use of Arduino shields, since they are easy to use but ta...
Topic: I2C CommunicationI started with op-amp testing and came to know that, off-chip components are not available on the board. I already requested those from element 14 in apprehension. Now I am waiting for the resistors and capacitors. I am not ge...
Are PCBs Bad? I'm not talking about this type of PCB but rather Printed Circuit boards.With the flexibility of the PSoC 4 I deliberately delayed laying out a PCB for my project until now. I milled out my PCB from my PCB CAD files....
Speech RecognitionThis update demonstrates that the Henrietta System can be controlled using voice commands. Speech recognition is not implemented in a practical way here, it is just a quick demo to showcase the possibilities of leveraging the power ...
The GPS clock is a powerful feature not found on even the most expensive commercial thermostats. The extreme convenience of Bluetooth remote control is also not available commercially. To put this project in perspective, the total bill of materials c...
Light Sensor and Backlight Control Demo VideoThe following video shows the light sensor readings displayed on the left LCD and Henrietta using the readings to adjust the LCD backlight intensity. There is also an oscilloscope to show the pulse width m...
Project Dedication On a very sad note I've dedicated this project to my faithful cat who passed away several days ago.This cat was solely responsible for RoadTesting the shipping packaging and will be sorely missed. It's getting clo...
With the IMU working, I am now focusing my efforts on getting clean data, with an emphasis on simple to implement filters. That said, filtering is a dirty business, and it’s something that I am not too familiar with. In any case, my plans ...
Design Criteria and FeaturesThe Henrietta Project includes standard environmental control outputs for controlling a furnace, a fan and an air conditioner.Standard furnace controllers operate on 24Vac, so the outputs must be 24 Vac.Standard home contr...
Again, I can’t mention this enough, if you want to see my project fully realized, please vote for my project! I think one of the areas where the PSoC series really shines is how it deals with communication ports. The ability to instantiate an ex...
The IssueThe Henrietta Project uses about 16 modules with connectors and about 108 connections. Using traditional Arduino style prototype jumpers this would definitely end up looking like a plate of coloured spaghetti was dumped on the system, pretty...
Random Lines players.brightcove.net/.../index.html Here's just a burn in and stability test of the Big Screen. For those who have just tuned in, this large 3,072 LED display is driven by a Cypress PSoC 4 (4200 Series).I have config...
Just a quick update to let know everyone where GeoCar is going. On the beginning of this challenge I have never seen a PSoC device (sorry no offence), it is that I have not been expose to professional hardware manufacturing. Professional grade hardwa...
I am back! )So I observed a very interesting detail, guess what?Yes probably you got it. But anyway I want to mention for the others who not.I found that no one from the selected 15th participants was decided to go for any of the three proposed ideas...
The build has come a long way since my last post. The 3D printed parts (with exception of two small ones that need changes) are all done. I've machine the tubes for the body and cut all the rods, and I've wired up and mounted all of the motors. Softw...
Hi Everyone, I have completed the project I set out to do. First, let's start with some results! The graph below shows the results of the temperature waveform compared to a reference (IR camera) under biological tests. I posted this in my la...
I'VE GOT IT TO WORK!!! I am so happy!!! After two months of working every weekend, now I have a brainwaves appliance controller that works. Here is a picture of how it looks like on my head and below it’s a more detailed picture of the pr...
Life in the Fast Lane players.brightcove.net/.../index.html From my last article, DAB posed the question about the performance of the Very Compact Christmas Display.I hope this video allays his fears. I have added an opening title page...
