led-race

Minimalist car race with a strip of LEDs. Connect two switches between common GND and pins 6 and 7 and one led strip ws2812 or ws2813 to GND, + 5V and A0 to a arduino Nano. After sometime of notuse it will dispaly light efect on track. Branch Arduino_IDE have basics .ino project it is EOL(end of life), it have some fixes in implmentation compared to the original.

HOW TO RUN:

0. Install Eclipse
1. Install arduino plugin in eclipse, HELP-> Eclispe Marketplace.
2. Add nessesary lib, HELP->Arduino Download Menager platforms : Arduino AVR Boards, libraries: Adafruit NeoPixel
3. Project-> Properties -> Libraries , check all lib and click applay
4. Connect PC toarduino via USB cable, run Telemetry-> TelemetryViewer_v0.6.jar
5. Open Layout Telemetry_default.txt , set 5700 boudrate , and connect it will display basic information about race

HOW TO PLAY:

• When program start it turns White if you press player 1 and player 2 buttom and hold it until light turn off you will set the obstacles. Now you control setting obstacles by player one buttom. You set : beggining, centger and end of obstacles, height and type ( red- LOOP, green- RAMP). At the end it will turn green light two times,that mean it accept the obstacles. If youy press player one buttom it will end the seting of obstacles proces.
• If you don't press any buttom the race will begin.
• The fastest you press the fasstes you run. Whit is the obtacles
• When the race end it will turn color of the car color
• You can change eclipsenumber of loops in _NUMBER_OF_LOOP define, "main.h"
• Als progress and best time will be display in PC aplication

DEFINE EXPLAIN:

#define _DEBUG_MODE - debug using serial, can caouse memory RAM problem
#define _DEBUG_GRAV_MAP - send grav map to pc, catch with RealTerm , .txt->.csv, plot it with matlab
#define _TELEMTRY_VIEW - use this wth telemtry_viewer (http://www.farrellf.com/TelemetryViewer/) , and open Layout Telemetry_default.txt , 5700 boudrate
#define _BLUETHOOT - future extension, telemtry via bluthoot
#define _OLED - not ready future, use SSD1306 0.96 monochrome OLED to dispaly progress

HOW TO ADD PLAYER:

    Edit:
     _NUMBER_OF_PLAYER
     Color_player[]
     Pin_player[]

Libraries:

• led-race : https://github.com/gbarbarov/led-race
• MemoryFree: https://github.com/maniacbug/MemoryFree
• Adafruit: NeoPixel, GFX, SSD1306 (GFX,SSD1306 until problem with to less RAM this lib not nessesary)
• Adruino : Wire, SPI , SoftwareSerial, HID, EEPROM

---

Issue:

When reset eclipse the library don't include anymore ?

Other folder:

• Matlab : Process data with matalb aplication, eg. plot gravity map (track) https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab.html
• Visual Code : this is project in visual studio code , you can copy file to this folderand use this software if you want, this use Arduino. After install plugins pres F1, type: "Arduino: upload".
• Telemetry: this folder contains visualisation of race. It connect via USB cable to Windows PC . http://www.farrellf.com/TelemetryViewer/
