  22. LED Display

  23. Display

  24. Display: Original Design • Adapted project created by NerdKits* • Revolved around ATMEGA168 microcontroller and row-column addressing 12 V Battery Voltage Regulator (7805) 5 V Row Wires ATMEGA 168 LED Display Column Wires Arduino Mega General Display Block Diagram *http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/ledarray2/

  25. Display: Row-Column Addressing • 17 output pins: 5 row and 12 column wires • 1 forwards and 1 backwards LED connected to each row-column combination  120 LEDs http://www.nerdkits.com/videos/ledarray2/

  26. Display: Construction • LEDs placed in 125 holes poked in foam board • Row and column wires soldered on front and back, respectively • Case constructed with thick foam board

  27. Display: Microcontroller Connections http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2545.pdf

  28. Display: Ratings Tests • LED maximum ratings were not exceeded • Maximum operating voltage of ATMEGA168 is 6 V  5 V output voltage from voltage regulator and 12 V battery was confirmed LED Voltage Ratings: Row Wire High output = 2.1 V Column Wire Low Output = ~ 0 V

  29. Display: Control • Manipulated data array with on-off status of LEDs • Interrupt function updated actual display every 1.1 ms • Turns appropriate column wires high for even column LEDs and row wire low • Turns appropriate column wires low for odd column LEDs and row wire high • Repeats for every row http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc2545.pdf

  30. Display: Functionality Tests • 1st: Test all LEDs • 2nd: Receive characters serially from computer • 3rd: Receive values from Arduino Duemilanove • 4th: Receive values from Duemilanove and scroll names stored in array • 5th: Transmit and receive to and from Mega New Name Name Scrolling  Start Dig http://www.sparkfun.com/products/7957 http://rhinoart.info/archives/101

  31. Display: Performance • High temperatures after brief runs (~10 min) • Issue solved by adding heat sinks • Unstable connections with robot moving over rough terrain • Capable of running for long periods (~1 hr) required to video record final digs • No LEDs lost in final runs
