Intelligent Wheelchair Specifications Figure1. Wheelchair showing the BLDC motors and Battery compartment My idea of an intelligent wheelchair comes to my mind because of my 22 year old daughter Greeshma. She is mentally and physically dis...
Well the Thanksgiving plan was a bust. Parts arrived as I was packing up the car to leave so did not get the cards built and running before I left. Back now and have all the parts and raw cards so should be able to build them up this week. Got a bonu...
I have finalized on the Pinning and port configuration of the DAS project.As of now I am able to interface the following parts:1. LCD - Nokia 5110 over SPI (UDB based)2. SD Card on the Adafruit Logging Shield on SPI (UDB Based)3. RTC DS1307 on Adafru...
I was quiet for a week. I had an installation problem. I purchased a new laptop. Selection of laptop and installation of software took lots of my time. Installation is still going on. PSOC creator installation was quite fast. Now I am creating a smal...
Just looking aroundplayers.brightcove.net/.../index.html Just a very small animation test to see if the new LED arrays are working.Just seeing what's left to do.It's by no means a comprehensive test.
For those who follow the progress. I am very happy on the progress but still much more is needed but there is plenty of gas in the tank so it's all good.Since I am not the best organized person, I like using source control software to avoid loosing t...
The DAS projects uses an LDR to provide a ambient light feedback. This feedback is used to detect night and day time differences.This time the LCD came in handy to display the results of the conversion. Although initially there was a issue that the v...
Move along! Nothing to see here players.brightcove.net/.../index.html This is just a test of the LED strip to see if it survived its long 12 week trip from China.
Hello all, I'm catching up in time, which means that some of you might not have had time to post this week. All in all, since the start of the challenge we've already seen more than 100 blog posts in this group on the PSOC4, and that's really go...
WHAT 3000+ LEDS LOOKS LIKE My first LED order was placed on the 16th September and they've finally arrived 12 weeks later.This has been my most troublesome eBay purchase to date. The story from the supplier was that the LEDs were sent off on...
Thank you DAB and Victor for your comments on my previous blog post. This weekend I focused on further processing the electric signals associated to eye movements, which so far I was able to measure using electrodes placed on forehead, amplify,...
I've gathered most of the components I need, including several 2A stepper drivers, a salvaged turn table base, and several stepper motors, mostly nema 17 and 23 bipolar. In my previous post I mentioned in a reply that DC servos sounded like a goo...
Hello Everyone, It has been a little while since I last checked in. In order to analyze the data from the sleep sensor, I need to get it off chip. I have been having problems with that component, as the entire FRAM memory consists of 131,072 sam...
First happy weekend for all, hope it was a great one. Now the nerd update details. I have been working on my project as much as I can. Now I have added the accelerometer (MMA7361) to the project. The accelerometer is connected to the PSoC4 as analog ...
Accelerometers I've been playing around with a few different configurations of accelerometer, for this project I need: - 3-axis, potentially deriving from this a general movement indicator (threshold), accelerating/braking, tap ge...
Can you spot the difference? All previous articles for the exception of my first article seem totally unrelated to my Very Compact Christmas Display but nothing could be further from the truth.A hint is provided in the two above photos. Can you ...
More Motor Controlplayers.brightcove.net/.../index.htmlThe PmodHB3 H Bridge Driver is only capable driving of one motor.Continuing on that theme the Arduino Motor Shield is functionally equivalent to two PmodHB3s.The Motor Shield is based upon the L2...
One of the cool things about working at a hardware startup is that you get exposure to every part of a device. In larger companies, there is typically a person that takes care of the power, one for analog, maybe a touch screen expert and a bunc...
The only good bug is a dead bug Many Christmas Displays have animated figures.I've put this test rig together to test out this project option. I've already demonstrated a PSoC 4 driving servo motors but servo motors are not always the de...
The Nokia LCD in now working with the PSoC4 Pioneer Kit using the UDB based SPI interface.There was a slight change needed to help interface the SDcard also to this interface.Here is what it came to finally:The additional 'OR' with the control helps ...
I have been asked to elaborate on how I resolved the driver issue with my Windows 8.1 machine. It was really a very simple fix thanks to Cypress’ responsive tech support. It’s comforting to know that the complex part you are using has gre...
As mentioned in a previous post I have been working with both PSoCs from the Pioneer Kit (PSoC5 and PSoC4). I moved the access to the SDCard and the reading of the GPS data to the PSoC5. Let me tell you it was very easy, flexibility on pin selection ...
Hello all, This update is a bit late, but due to a "locked knee" (can't fully stretch my leg anymore) I had some other concerns to deal with! Update on the complete challengeHere are some posts to get you started if you jumped into this cha...
