Voice To Arduino 2: Control your LED using MIT speech recognizer!!!

HELLO THERE!!!

     In my last post, I had posted about Voice to Arduino using the MIT appinventor speech recognizer in my instructables page. In my last experiment, the Speech recognizer was actually set to send integer values to turn on a number of LED's. In this week, I will make a special twist, I will use string command such as left 90 degrees to control a servo motor movement. Will I be able to do that? Let see.....

The items needed are:

1.Arduino UNO

2.HC-06 Bluetooth Module

3. Servo Motor


The software which are used in this experiment are:
1. Arduino IDE
2. MIT app inventor 2


Alright now let's see the schematics of the circuit. The circuit consists of a servo and the Bluetooth module:
The Schematics of the circuit


Ok, now that the circuit is assembled, I will explain the code block for the MIT app inventor first, followed by the codes for Arduino:



1. The design of the app consists of a list picker,a label and a button.
The design of the mit app inventor app used in this experiment

2. Below are the code blocks that made up the app, take note that the initialization of voice word is as string if compared to previous Voice to arduino app where the initialization is as an integer
The code block part 1









The code block part 2


Now that the app is done, save,download and install the app on your phone. Alright, one part is done, let's see the Arduino code:

#include <Servo.h> // include server library
Servo ser; // create servo object to control a servo
int pos;// initial position
String left,right;//declare two variables of string


void setup() {
  ser.attach(6);//servo motor is attached at pin6
  Serial.begin(9600); // Serial comm begin at 9600bps
  
  left = String("left 90 degrees");//string variable consists of the string shown
  right = String("right 90 degrees");

}

void loop() {
  while(Serial.available()) //read while data is present
  {
    
    String value = Serial.readString(); //value read string from MIT
    Serial.print(value);
    if (value == left)//if the string received is left 90 degrees
    {
     int pos =- 90;//position - 90
     ser.write(pos);
     delay (15);
  }
  if (value == right)//if the string received is right 90 degress
    {
     int pos =+ 90;//position +90
     ser.write(pos);
     delay (15);
       
  }
  
  }
}


Upload the code to the Arduino and test it. The testing video is shown below:

Arduino and Multi Function Shield: Pots,LEDs and buzzers

HELLO THERE!!!!!    How are you guys? I hope everyone is fine and in good mood always. This week, I continue my tinkerings with the Multi Function Shield. In this experiment, I used the potentiometer in the shield to control the LEDs in the shield. Without further wasting time, let's jump in straight to the experiment!! HARDWARE 1.ARDUINO UNO  2.MULTI-FUNCTION SHIELD SOFTWARE: 1. ARDUINO IDE CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY    The circuit assembly is fairly simple. Just attach the multi function shield on top of Arduino properly. Please attach the shield properly as failure to do so would cause the shield  not to function as intended. CODING THE ARDUINO: Let's refer to the multi-function shield image below: Referring to the image of the shield, it can be seen that the potentiometer (blue object near buttons) is connected to pin A0 (analog 0)     int pot = A0; //declaring the pot ...

Mixing Color with RGB LED!!

HELLO THERE!!!     Hi everybody!! How are you guys? This week, I am going to share with you guys a fun experiment that I did during the weekends. The objective of this experiment is to use the RGB LED to output different colors. Without wasting further time, let's get into the experiment!! HARDWARE: 1.Arduino UNO 2. 3 Potentiometer 3. RGB LED ( I used the Keyes RGB LED) SOFTWARE: 1.Arduino IDE CIRCUIT ASSEMBLY:   By referring to the image below: The RGB LED has 4 pins, 1 GND, 1 pin each for the color red, green and blue. RGB LED                      ----------> ARDUINO  GND(- sign of the pin)                  GND R,G,B                                              Any Digital pin(I used pin 9,10 and 11) T...

Arduino and Keyes KY-017 Mercury Tilt Sensor

HELLO THERE!!!     How are you guys? I hope everyone is fine and good as always. I am back in tinkering after a few months of hiatus( busy stuff :) ). So, today i would like to share with you guys on KY-017, which is a Keyes Mercury Tilt Sensor. KY-017 Sensor KY-017      The picture above shows the KY-017 Sensor from Keyes. It has 3 pins, A ground, A vcc, and A signal pin. If you look closely, there is a mercury ball inside the bulb like object. The mercury ball acts like a switch for this sensor. KY-017 Working Procedure: 1. When the sensor is not tilted, the mercury ball will be at the bottom of the bulb. This will complete the circuit and turns on the LED of the sensor. The output that is sent through the signal pin will be LOW. 2.When the sensor is tilted, the mercury ball will be at the top of the bulb(near at the sharper end). This will complete break circuit and turns off the LED of the sensor. The output that is sent through t...
