PHONE CONTROLLED SCULPTURE
Ferris Wheel
Hi there!
This week, our assignment was to control the EV3 by using our phones. I created a ferris wheel for 2, the other can be your significant other, your best friend or even your pet. To do that we used a pyboard. The basic idea behind how it works is this: we put a code on the pyboard where it can access to our tag on the Systemlink. After connecting to our dashboard on Systemlink, it can read the values created by the tag. The code I have put on the pyboard sends out voltage to its specific pins. For my case, if the value on the tag is 1, there is a 100 Amper on the pin X5. If the value on the tag is 2, there is a 34 Amper on the pin X5.
EV3 can read this difference by using the specific connector. The red and black goes to ground and white one goes to X5. The code I wrote on LabView reads this Amper difference and if it is less than 40, the motor does not run, it is more than 40 the motor runs with a value of 50.
The running motor turns the wheel, that turns the ferris wheel at the end. This is how my two people ferris wheel works!
Programs that are used:
