1 HOW TO BUILD A CAR PARK WITH INTEL GALILEO! A step by step tutorial to build, in a very simple way, a funny car park with automatic barrier and display counter with your Intel Galileo!» Recommended age 15+» Recommended age (to play with the car park) 3+ :)» Minimum setup time 30 minutes Tutorial by Valentina Lipari v.lipari@programmer.net it.linkedin.com/in/valentinalipari Giovanni Meo g.meo@live.com it.linkedin.com/in/giovannimeo Please don t hesitate to contact us for more support or questions! This project was realized for building up a demo for an Android application called Napoli OnTheRoad, under the supervision of Francesco Cutugno, researcher and professor at PRISCALab, Università Degli Studi Di Napoli Federico II. This project has also been selected by Intel to be showcased at the Maker Faire Rome 2014.» Video demonstration Stuff You ll need 1 (one) Intel Galileo we recommend Galileo Gen 2, but you can also use a Galileo 1st Gen 1 (one) breadboard 2 (two) push buttons 1 (one) servo motor we have used a Servo Tower Pro SG90 9G 1 (one) seven segment display (common cathode (CC)) some jumper wires M/F, M/M and F/F some resistors

2 SUMMARY Step 1 Connect and test the 7 segment display Step 2 Connect and test the servo motor Step 3 Connect the push buttons (using servo and display) Step 4 Hardware review & schematic Step 5 Coding Step 6 Transfer the sketch on Galileo...and enjoy you car park! Just a little advice before going on about resistors: since we don t know what kind of display or servo you will use, we recommend you to do the ohmic calculation yourself to know what kind of resistors you need. Let s start!

3 Step 1 Connect and test the 7 segment display To connect the 7 segment display, we need 7 outputs for each segment. Each segment is identified with a letter, from a to g. So, you have to connect the numbered outputs on the board. Now connect each numbered terminal on the Galileo to the a unique terminal of the 7 segment display (we have used this order way: 2 to a, 3 to b, and so on like we have done). Obviously, use some M/F jumper wires for it. Next, connect the common terminal in the display to the board s GND terminal, and use a F/F jumper wires to insert a resistor in this connection from the display to the board. Now you should test the display to be sure that everything is ok. Transfer this sketch (next page) on the Galileo, it simply shows on the display the numbers from 0 to 9 with a 500ns of delay to each others. If the display works, we can go to the next step!

4 voidsetup() pinmode(2,output); pinmode(3,output); pinmode(4,output); pinmode(5,output); pinmode(6,output); pinmode(7,output); pinmode(8,output); voidloop() //number0 digitalwrite(2,1); digitalwrite(8,0); //number1 digitalwrite(3,0); digitalwrite(6,0); digitalwrite(7,0); digitalwrite(8,0); //number2 digitalwrite(2,1); digitalwrite(4,0); digitalwrite(7,0); //number3 digitalwrite(7,0); //number4 digitalwrite(3,0); digitalwrite(6,0); //number5 digitalwrite(5,0); //number6 digitalwrite(2,1); digitalwrite(5,0); //number7 digitalwrite(3,0); digitalwrite(7,0); digitalwrite(8,0); //number8 digitalwrite(2,1); //number9

5 Step 2 Connect and test the servo motor Now it s time to test your servo motor. Don t unplug the display Remember that: the red cable is tipically used for the power, so we recommend a M/M red jumper wire to connect this cable to the Volts; the black cable is tipically used for the ground, so we recommend a M/M black jumper wire to connect this cable to the GND; the yellow cable is tipically used for the signal, so we recommend a M/M yellow jumper wire to connect this cable to a logic pin cable on the board (we have used the pin 10 ). Once these connections are done, you can test your servo running this sketch on Galileo: it simply performs a movement of 90 degrees of the servo. Don t worry about the display, in this test it will not turn on. #include <Servo.h> Servo myservo; int pos = 0; void setup() myservo.attach(10); void loop() for(pos = 20; pos < 115; pos += 1) delay(5); for(pos = 115; pos >= 20; pos =1) delay(5); If the servo works, we can pass at the step 3!

6 Step 3 Connect the push buttons (using display and servo) Don t unplug both the display and the servo, we will use them to test the push buttons. Let s connect them in this way! Take also your breadboard. Put one push button in the breadboard; put a resistor with one end into the Volts cable and the other end connected with one of the terminals of the button; connect the other corresponding terminal to GND. The corresponding terminal is usually on the same side as the first one; connect the first terminal (the one with the resistor) to pin 11. Repeat the last 4 instructions to put another push button on the breadboard, you have to connect this one to pin 12. Step 4 Hardware review & schematic Well done, you have successfully built the car park! :) Your park should be similar to the one showed in the picture below (in the picture, the board is an Intel Galileo Gen 1 and the display has a resistor for each segment; anyway, these differences are not so important).

7 Step 5 Coding Let s write the ultimate sketch! #include<servo.h> Servomyservo; intpos=0; voidsetup() //pinassignedforthedisplay pinmode(2,output); pinmode(3,output); pinmode(4,output); pinmode(5,output); pinmode(6,output); pinmode(7,output); pinmode(8,output); //pinassignedforthetwopush buttons pinmode(11,input); pinmode(12,input); //pinassignedfortheservo motor myservo.attach(10); intcounter=0; intlast_input_value1=low; intlast_input_value2=low; voidloop() //readthestatusofthetwopush buttons intswitch_input_value1=digitalread(11); intswitch_input_value2=digitalread(12); //########ENTERING############### if(counter<10) if(last_input_value1==low&& switch_input_value1==high) counter=counter+1; for(pos=20;pos<115;pos+=1) //delay(15); //the barrier is open for 3,5 seconds delay(3500); for(pos=115;pos>=20;pos =1) //delay(15); last_input_value1=switch_input_value1; //########EXITING############### if(counter>0) if(last_input_value2==low&& counter = counter 1; for(pos = 20; pos < 115; pos += 1) //delay(15); //the barrier is open for 3,5 seconds delay(3500); for(pos = 115; pos>=20; pos =1) //delay(15); last_input_value2 = switch_input_value2; writenumber(counter); void writenumber(int number) switch(number) case 0: digitalwrite(2, 1); digitalwrite(8, 0); case 1: digitalwrite(3, 0); digitalwrite(6, 0); digitalwrite(7, 0); digitalwrite(8, 0); case 2: digitalwrite(2, 1); digitalwrite(4, 0); digitalwrite(7, 0);

9 Step 6 Transfer the sketch on Galileo and enjoy your car park! Great work! If you want, you can add all the feature you want to your car park! Take note: if you use a Galileo Gen 1, then you might need to use an additional power supply because the Galileo Gen 1 could not provide the energy required for the servo motor and the display; for this reason, we recommend to use a Galileo Gen 2, which provides enough power for all components!
