Mid-Break.3 - A3 Coding for IR receiver

Coding for A3 - IR

The coding for A3 is quite fustrating. I'm not sure what I'm doing is correct and since its infared its hard to see what's working or not. Without the serial monitor, I would not be able to tell if it works. (The code I have been working on for this post was from https://www.dfrobot.com/blog-648.html (project 14))

Which is a good thing I guess, as it would tick the subtle box, with nothing showing...

As you can see in the video below, the demonstration by itself only shows me clicking the remote but there is no visual que/output that can be seen/ That is until you look at the monitor on the computer where you can see that something is happening on an invisible line.


Below are also some pictures of my simple set up. I sadly coudn't get the LED to work with this code.

Week 13.2 - A3 Finalising Code

Image
 Yikes! lets begin with that. It has been one hell of a ride with this code. For most of the duration of A3 I have been trying to code infrared leds and transmitters...NOT BEAM BREAKERS. It was only until last week Thursday during our tech workshops that I was finally introduced to them. Thank God for that, I was about to pull my hair-that you can't seen under my hijab-out. The Beam breakers are amazing, whoever designed them is honestly my hero. While it has taken me a couple hours to get the code, (and its still not perfect 100%) they have taken my code to not working to everything is working as it should with the expection of the display screen that is clearing at the moment. But the detection is just amazin and how accurate it is and how each stage correlates with each other. It's late and I'm happy.  The video below demonstrates the working interactions, with a couple things missing (such as buttons) for how my design will monitor the bag and inform the user through li...

Week 13.6 - Code is working!

 It has been such a rush trying to get this code together and I still haven't finished. Since the beam breakers just came this Monday, I have been running around like a headless chicken trying to get this right and I think I finally got it. The video below shows a demo of my code and bow the sensors work together, how they go off when the connection is broken etc. I'm so happy that this part is over.

Week 13.7 - A3 Presentation

It was such a relief to have this presentation over with. I enjoyed walking around and seeing what everyone else did, their designs and their videos. The belwo videos is a quick video of my groups presentation and our products.
