Thus, I added the same filter as the inputs (to filter the PWM signals) and a gain (from 3.3V to 5V) to feed the BU0836A (the joystick/analog entries USB-plugged on the PC "FS Hat").

I had prefered using PWM instead of DAC as firstly I need 4 outputs (only 2 DACs on DUE), and secondly the embedded DAC range is not full 0-3.3V! Then, I added protections and filters before Arduino DUE ADC. I use a LM324 that accepts this range of voltage to buffer a simple voltage divider to the potentiometer. So, I decided to power them with a larger range of tension from +/- 15V. about 200 points amoung 4096 available (12 bits resolution) once digitalized) and so very sensitive to interferences. But the rotations of the pedals are very small and the resulting range was very poor (ie. My first experience was to power the potentiometers with 0-3.3V to be able to read the values directly with an ADC (I had first used a raspberry pi with a MCP3208 - 8 channels, 12 bits resolution, SPI link). So I designed this with a NE555 (from here):ģ/ The analog signals (steering wheel, brakes and acceleration pedals, hand accelerator) I didn't want to use a 74HC14 just for 1 gate. (sorry, in French, but it's all the buttons, levers and controllers we can find in a tractor)ĭuring the developping progress, I needed to add another anti-bouncing system, just one, te be read by an arduino UNO (see later) its the "up" position of the tire (position at the end of the day, for the night, to release the jacks).
I have also 6 signals (among the 48) coming from the armrest powered in 3.3V I will use optocouplers. Then the Arduino DUE (and it's the final advantage of it) will translate an input to a key or sequence of keys simulating a keyboard for the "FS Hat" PC.

Actually, I prefer hardware solution than software one that slows down a program. So I designed an anti-bouncing interface based on Schmitt trigger ( SN74HC14N) (from here). Moreover, it has ADCs too without any needed extensions.Īnd another advantage of the Arduino DUE (in addition to its execution speed) is the possibility to exploit interrupts for the digital inputs.īut to use this last feature, we need to robustify the signals, to avoid fake interrupts due to interferences. In a previous version, I had chosen a Raspberry PI with 4 x I2C MCP23017 extensions to manage all the digital inputs.īut I finally found that using an Arduino DUE would be much simpler.
So I add some "interference traps" to digital and analog signals. In previous projects, I had to face many interferences issues. I attached a 5" HDMI screen (it's tactile, but I don't use this function) to check the process progress.Īs presented in part 1, the exhibition environment is very noisy. I have preferred to let the lights independent (I could have joined the right and left lights for example) to be able to play with lights animation (like chase effects). So I have designed an extended board, with a voltage shifter ( T xs0108e) (from 3.3V to 5V) to switch relays on a 8 relays module: Fortunately, I didn't need more than 24 outputs.
I choose to use a Raspberry Pi for this task (Raspberry "Outputs" on the global sketch) I needed something independent of the PCs to lighten their processes and a board that can receive orders from TCP/IP. 1/ the outputs (tractor lights - beacon, blinkers, lights)
