November 14th, Working in Lab

Fans:

Today was the first day during lab that we got to work with the fans that we purchased. We were able to power the fan with a 12 volt battery pack using the code below.

	int motor =9;
	void setup(){
	pinMode (9, OUTPUT);
	}
	void loop(){
	int speed;
	speed = 255;
	analogWrite(motor,speed);
	}

LCD IR Remote:

We also worked on using an IR remote to control the message that appears on the LCD. A video is shown below of the remote changing the message. The code used is also posted below.

	#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
	#include <IRremote.h>
	LiquidCrystal lcd(12,11,5,4,3,2);
	int RECV_PIN = 10;
	IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
	decode_results results;
	void setup()
	{
	Serial.begin(9600);
	irrecv.enableIRIn();
	lcd.begin(16, 2);
	lcd.clear();
	lcd.print("System Charging");
	delay(3000);
	}
	void loop ()
	{
	if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {
	Serial.println(results.value);
	irrecv.resume();
	if(results.value == 3785495787)
	{
	lcd.setCursor(0,0);
	lcd.print("Ramming Speed ");
	}
	if(results.value == 3785503947)
	{
	lcd.setCursor(0,0);
	lcd.print("Battle Speed ");
	}
	}
	}
