My Second Arduino Project<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0This arduino project is to show my status in the cubical.<\/p>\n

\"Arduino<\/a><\/dt>\n
Arduino 2 Front<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Here is the front of my project, there is an LCD display that can show text and my status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
Three LEDs on the bottom, green, yellow, red show my status via color.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Arduino 2 Back<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

The back is where the connections are, noticed today the cables tend to tilt the box backwards, I need to add some weight to the front to balance out the assembly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
The USB ports are just to power USB devices, no data goes through, also they are powered by Vin so whatever device plugged in there will not be under powered.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The three 3.5mm ports can be used to for input output data ports (digital ports on the arduino).\u00a0 The first one is normaly the IR receiver, I intend to use a motion sensor for the middle one, and a relat for the third one.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The three connections in the 3.5mm ports provide, 5v, signal, and ground.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
The USB on the bottom is the actual arduino connection.\u00a0 This project can run without connecting to a PC, it should be powered with a DC adapter on the bottom right at 7.5 volts.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

Inside view of my project<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Here is the inside, I soldered some components to a PCB to make it easier to connect.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
After I was done, I noticed there was quite a bid of space on the PCB, I think I could have shrunk everything on to a smaller case if there were an easier way to do the LCD and cables.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Now the hardware part is pretty much done, finally, now time to work on the software part and integration with Windows.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
More on that later.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
As for my workout, I hit the gym today, I recall used to be able to max out the weights on the bench machine, I did today as well, but usually I can do 4 sets of 10.<\/div>\n
