Dev Kit War Cards Game Instructions

pchan — Wed, 13 Oct 2021 11:07:45 GMT

Revision 1 posted to Documents by pchan on 10/13/2021 11:07:45 AM

Instructions

The game War is for two or more players in which the object is to win all the cards. All the cards are dealt as equally as possible to the players who hold them so that they can see their first card only. The starting player chooses one attribute – for example CPU Speed. Everyone then reads out the value of that attribute on their first card and whoever has the highest or best value wins all the first cards, collects them and places them at the bottom of their stack

Whoever won the cards then chooses any attribute to read from their next card, and again whoever has the best value of this attribute on their top card wins the cards and has the next turn. Players drop out of the game as they run out of cards. Whoever eventually manages to collect all the cards wins the game.

With some packs it is possible to have a tie for best value of an attribute. If this happens, all players place their top card in the middle of the table and the turn remains with same the player who chose that attribute. The next player who wins cards also collects the pile of cards from the middle of the table.

User Manual/Guide

User Guide for the GertDuino board - add on Board for Raspberry Pi (pdf)

Overview

The Gertduino is a Raspberry-Pi add-on which offers the same functionality as an Arduino-Uno but with some extra features thrown in. The Gertduino board features an Atmega328 microcontroller, runs of 5V, has the 16MHz oscillator and has connectors which are 100 percent Arduino-Uno compatible. It also contains the reset switch, 2 user push buttons, and 6 LEDs. The Gerduino board also has a RS232 level converter which will convert the signals form a UART to the RS232 standard voltages (And invert them as per that same standard).

The Gertduino board also features an Atmega48 MCU, which is intended to be used as Real Time Clock (RTC) and/or as IRDA front end. However it is also freely programmable by the user and thus can be used for any other application, giving the user the power of not one but TWO Atmega devices to play with. The I2C interface of the Atmega-48 is connected permanently to the Raspberry-Pi I2C interface. The BCM2835 does not have a native IRDA interface. The protocol can be implemented using a standard GPIO pin but that puts a very heavy burden on the CPU. To support IRDA the Atmega-48 has a TSSOP4038 IRD device connected to pin D3. This device supports the most common IRDA protocol: 38 KHz IR signal.

You can program Atmega328 or Atmega48 from the Raspberry Pi. All connections between the board and the Raspberry-Pi are protected against 5V signals. The Atmega328 and the Atemege-48 have exactly the same pins with the same functionality. The devices only differ in the size of their various memories. So what was written about the Atmega328 also is valid for the Atmega48. But if you make programming errors with the Atmege328 the device can easily be replaced. However, this is not the case with the Atmega48. It is therefore strongly recommended that you are extra careful and not damage any of the I/O ports. Also you can remove the board from the Raspberry Pi and use it standalone.

Features

RS232 level converter can be used by:
- Raspberry-Pi
- Atmega-328
- Atmega-48
Atmega 328 (Arduino-Uno® compatible) with:
- Arduino-Uno® compatible connectors
- Reset button
- 2 user push buttons
- 6 LEDs.
Atmega 48 with:
- I/O connector with 20 pins.
- High precision RTC crystal
- Battery backup power supply
- IRDA interface

FAQs

Does GertDuino board support RS232/UART level converter?

The Gerduino board has a RS232 level converter which will convert the signals form a UART to the RS232 standard voltages (And invert them as per that same standard). The RS232 signals come from J12. Pin 3 is the receive, Pin 2 is the transmit, Pin 1 is the ground.

Does both raspberry pi and gertduino needs separate 5 V input?

The Gertduino and the Raspberry Pi all feed from the same 5V supply. if we use two power supplies the stronger supply starts to 'back-feed' into the weaker supply and that energy will dissipate as Heat.

Can I make a Infra-red receiver/remote control receiver, with the help of Raspberry Pi board only?

The Raspberry board does not have a native IRDA interface and also the protocol implemention using a standard GPIO pin but that puts a very heavy burden on the CPU(BCM2835). Hence we can use Gertduino which has a second microcontroller (a surface mounted ATmega48) which gives an IrDA interface to the board (infrared receiver). To support IRDA the Atmega-48 has a TSSOP4038 IRD device connected to pin D3. This device supports the most common IRDA protocol: 38KHz IR signal.

Can IRDA Transmit occasional remote control signals on battery?

No, the IRDA power consumes too much current (~450μA), so you need the 5V present for it to operate.

What is the time deviation of the Real-Time-Clock (RTC) under normal conditions?

The Atmege-48 device has a 32768Hz crystal connected to operate as a Real-Time-Clock (RTC). The Crystal is a high quality type and under normal conditions a deviation is less than 1 sec/3 days.

Overview

The Wi-Fi Comm Demo Board provides a low-cost and portable development system for Microchip’s MRF24WB0MA 802.11b RF Transceiver module. The Wi-Fi Comm Demo Board demonstrates how to enable Wi-Fi capability to an embedded application.

The Wi-Fi Comm Demo Board is preloaded with the demo software for the user to explore the features of the MRF24WB0MA Wi-Fi module. It is also expandable through an expansion interface, which allows the user to extend its functionality by adding various sensor expansion boards.

The Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) provide a unique challenge for configuring embedded wireless products without a natural user interface. Unlike wired networks, wireless networks require unique items such as the Service Set Identifier (SSID), network type and security keys, and these items must be sent to the device in some form or another.

Generally, the user would enter this information using a keyboard and display. The Wi-Fi Comm demo application uses a mechanism called EasyConfig to allow for configuration of an embedded device on a wireless network. It utilizes the web server of the TCP/IP stack and a wireless ad hoc (independent basic service set) network to allow the user to input the desired network information from a client browser, and then reset the device to connect to the desired network.

Key Applications: Embedded Application

Overview

The chipKIT™ Pi is the latest Arduino™ compatible chipKIT™ platform from Microchip and element14 specially designed for Raspberry Pi. It features a 32-bit PIC32MX2xx microcontroller in a prototyping-friendly, low pin count SPDIP package. The PIC32’s performance, memory and integrated peripherals allow users to create applications including touch sensing, audio processing and advanced control. The board is supported by the free chipKIT™ Multi-Platform IDE (MPIDE) that can be hosted on the Raspberry Pi and allows users to create, compile and program Arduino sketch-based chipKIT™ applications within the Raspberry Pi operating system. This software development was completed by voumnteers from the chipKIT™ and Arduino communities.

chipKIT™ Pi is the world’s first to enable the development of 3.3V Arduino compatible applications for the Raspberry Pi using a 32-bit, high-performance PIC32 MCU in a prototyping-friendly package. Because the Raspberry Pi’s processor is a 3.3V chip, its digital I/O and communications (I2C™, UART, SPI) pins require 3.3V. Hence the existing prototyping-friendly Arduino boards, which are all based on 5V 8-bit MCUs, require users to create or purchase additional components to translate the voltages. The chipKIT™ Pi can interface directly to the Raspberry Pi I/O Expansion header without any additional components, reducing both cost and design complexity.

The chipKIT™ development platform is an open-source hardware and software solution intended for beginners and users with little or no knowledge of embedded controllers wanting to explore embedded applications. The chipKIT™ environment advances the art of open-source, physical computing by expanding support to more chip platforms and introducing new, high-performance libraries. It combines low-cost hardware with free software that is fast, powerful, and extendable.

Key Applications: Touch sensing, audio processing and advanced control.
