ES101 - Lesson 10 : Board IO
From Embedded Systems Learning Academy
For this assignment, reference the following articles :
Assignment
- If Switch #1 is pressed, light up LED #1, else turn LED #1 off
- If Switch #2 is pressed, display Light Sensor percentage on 7-Segment LED Display
- Note that maximum light sensor value is 4096, calculate the percent first, then display on LED Display
- LED Display can only display 2 digits
- If Switch #3 is pressed, display temperature in Fahrenheit on 7-Segment LED Display
- If Switch #4 is pressed, display Acceleration Sensor's X-Axis percentage on 7-Segment LED Display
- Note that minimum value is -1024 and maximum value is +1024.
- You can add 1024 to this value, then calculate percentage by ((X-Axis+1024)/ 2048) * 100
- The points for this assignment depends on how much you add to the program. For example, you can take advantage of the acceleration sensor's Y and Z axis and make the board more interactive. If you have a remote control with you, you can even take advantage of reading IR code received by the board, and light up some LEDs.
- Have fun! and play around with Board IO. Your projects depend on the creativity using these boards.
Sample Code
#include <stdio.h>
#include "utilities.h" // delay_ms()
#include "io.hpp" // board IO
int main(void)
{
/* io.hpp contains the names of the board input-output devices
* By typing SW, LE, TS, LD, or AS, it will offer you with the
* functions you can invoke to read values or use the device
*/
while(1)
{
/* Get sw1 value, and turn on/off led */
bool sw1_pressed = SW.getSwitch(1);
if(sw1_pressed) {
LE.on(1);
}
else {
LE.off(1);
}
/* Get temperature using TS (temperature sensor) object */
int temperature = TS.getFarenheit();
/* Use LD (LED Display) to display it */
LD.setNumber(temperature);
/* Get Acceleration sensor X-axis value */
int xaxis = AS.getX();
}
return 0;
