Construct a robotic that responds to electric task on your brain--it's effortless and enjoyable. If you're conversant in Arduino and feature simple mechanical construction talents, this e-book will assist you to build a robotic that performs sounds, blinks lighting fixtures, and reacts to indications from a cheap electroencephalography (EEG) scarf. focus and the robotic will circulation. concentration extra and it'll cross speedier. enable your brain wander and the robotic will decelerate.

The point of awareness controls the rate of the robotic. steerage (left and correct) is managed with automated line avoidance.

You'll locate entire directions for construction an easy robotic chassis with servos, wheels, sensors, LEDs, and a speaker. you furthermore may get the code to application the Arduino microcontroller to obtain instant signs from the EEG. Your robotic will astound someone who wears the EEG headband.

This publication can help you:

* attach a cheap EEG gadget to Arduino
* construct a robotic platform on wheels
* Calculate a percent worth from a potentiometer examining
* combine shades with an RGB LED
* Play tones with a piezo speaker
* Write a software that makes the robotic stay away from barriers
* Create uncomplicated move exercises

28 Make a Mind-Controlled Arduino Robot Figure 2-7. pde Figure 2-8. Reflection sensor connected Coding 29 Figure 2-9. Free wires connected to Arduino with ScrewShield Hello Reflection For line avoidance, we use a typical reflectivity sensor. We read it with Arduino’s digitalRead() function. The value tells how much light is reflected back from the surface. It returns HIGH (true, 1) for a white surface. Black doesn’t reflect light back, so the sensor gives a LOW value (false, 0). com const int tinyLedPin=13; const int linePin=4; // void setup() { pinMode(tinyLedPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(linePin, INPUT); } void loop() { if (LOW == digitalRead(linePin)) { digitalWrite(tinyLedPin, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite(tinyLedPin, LOW); } delay(20); // } // We use the tiny surface-mounted LED that’s built into Arduino to show if we’ve detected a line.

Very good, every LED in your RGB LED is working. You can try setting your LED to primary colors red, green and blue. If you can remember the additive color model from high school, you can also get secondary colors cyan, magenta, and yellow. Or search Wikipedia for “RGB color model”. ” Piezo beepers are everywhere: in cash registers, cameras— even your PC speaker is one. A stream of on-off pulses makes a piezo speaker vibrate, making air vibrate and thus making a sound. If you do it fast enough you get a note.

Connecting the Battery and Power Key Batteries often use one set of cables for charging and other for discharge (powering your device). In our battery, the blue connector is for discharge and small white one is for charging (Figure 2-11). Be careful to use the correct one. Let’s connect the battery and the key switch. The ground wire from the battery connects directly to Arduino, but the positive wire has a power switch in the middle (Figure 2-12). You need to use a connector for the battery, so that you can disconnect it for charging.
