Construction and animation of a Creole Case
This
file concerns the construction then the animation of a model of a colonial
house using 3 B4X applications
To summarize, it's
about controlling a small house via the Bluetooth system of your Android
Smartphone
Construction and electronic equipment of the
Creole house
Material
and components used
The list below is only a suggestion and of
course other choices can be made according to your needs and possibilities.
+ 
= 
AND 
OR 
AND
- 1 Arduino MEGA2560 card or compatible
- 1 HC05 Bluetooth module installed on a quarter
connection plate (+ three 1 Kohm resistors to protect it)
- 2 MG 996 R servomotors with accessories (Arms
extended by a small metal bar + adjustable length links)
- 1 SM-S2309S mini-servomotor and a bronze bell
- A buzzer, internal ringing device (replacing the
Mini-Servo + Bell set)
- Power supply 1 >>> One 9 Volt pressure
battery AND a cord with pressure connections for the 9 Volt battery
- Power supply 2 >>> Two rechargeable LI-ION
batteries (3.7 volts x 2 = 7.4 volts) AND a box to connect the 2 batteries
>>> preferable solution after experimenting with both systems
- A general switch to supply or cut off the system
with 9 Volt current
- A male Jack plug to connect into the appropriate
socket on the Arduino card (or connect to the VIN pin)
- Micro-switch (optional) to manually trigger the bell
ringing
- Bright white or colored LEDs depending on your lamp
projects
(If the LEDs are not already protected from overvoltages by resistors, plan to do so with a resistor of
220 ohms per LED)
- Mini-floor lamps (Please note, this product is not
protected by a resistor, so the internal white LEDs will not support 5 Volts,
protection by one or more 220 Ohm resistors must be provided.)
- Plastic straws intended to transform a mini-floor
lamp into a facade wall light...
- Mini hinges with small matching screws
- Rigid red, black, white, yellow, green, blue wires
to connect components with the Arduino card and/or solderless connection plates
- Mini-pins to fix the flexible wires in the holes of
the connection plates
- Half connection plate for multiple light connections
for example (Or quarter plates easier to hide, etc.)
- Mini terracotta pots 3cm x 3 cm (Purely decorative
accessories and therefore not essential)
