Arduino Box
Objective:
The objective of this project was to make a case for an Arduino (MEGA).
This box need to open and close with a button and the other objective of this project was my developing 3D design.
Design
For the design of this arduino box I used the trinkerCAD
The Box
Problems
I went through many problems since making the hinge to where and how to place the button.
Attempts Servos Arm
Servo´s Arm
Programming
//Button Toggle Servo
#include
Servo servo; // create servo object to control a servo
// twelve servo objects can be created on most boards
const int buttonPin = 2;
boolean lastState = LOW;//storage for last button state
boolean pos = true;
void setup()
{
servo.attach(9); // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP);//this time we will set the pin as INPUT
Serial.begin(9600);//initialize Serial connection
}
void loop()
{
boolean currentState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
if (currentState == LOW && lastState == HIGH)
{
Serial.println(pos ? "up" : "down");
servo.write(pos ? 90 : 0);
delay(150);
pos = !pos;
}
lastState = currentState;
