Code to control a Portal Gun (From Rick and Morty) Χρόνια πολλά Γιάνναρε!!!
If you deviate from the following definitions, you will have to change the firmware to account for that.
| LED Display | Arduino Nano Pin |
|---|---|
| CLK | 7 |
| LATCH | 6 |
| DATA | 5 |
| Rotary Encoder | Arduino Nano Pin |
|---|---|
| A | A1 |
| B | A0 |
| GND | GND |
| Button | A2 |
| LED | Arduino Nano Pin |
|---|---|
| Top Bulb | 12 |
| Front Right | 8 |
| Front Center | 4 |
| Front Left | 2 |
The rotary encoder has a click button, and we can detect a single click, a double click, and a hold.
- Single Click : Wakes the Arduino from low power mode and plays an animation
- Double Click : Reset to dimension C137
- Hold : Turn off LEDs and put the Arduino into a low power mode.
I chose to go with PlatformIO instead of the crappy Arduino IDE. Has the whole arduino build system AND library management solved with ultra minimal setup. To compile and upload the firmware:
pip install --user -U platformio
pio run --target upload [--upload-port /dev/ttyUSB0]
# To view serial messages:
pio device monitor [-p /dev/ttyUSB0]
