2 Dimensions: 0.73" x 1.70" Nano Expansion Board The Arduino Nano I/O Sensor Shield acts as an expansion board for the Arduino Nano. Ie it adds extra pins and sensors that you can connect to. Product wiki Nano shield V1.1 Schematic From < Toggle Switch Switch with the middle position being off (on - off - on). Therefore connect either side for on. Servos - have a rotational range of 180. We can send a command to a servo from our Arduino to tell it to go to a specific angle. Read Item 12 for all things Ultrasonic Sensor Read Item 13 for all things Breadboard The Circuit: Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 2

3 Algorithms: sequence, selection Datatypes: int, bool, Code: delay(), if, Library Functions: Otto.init(), Otto.sing(), Otto.home(), Otto.playGesture(), Otto.walk(), Otto.turn(), Otto.getDistance() URL: Resources diyode_013 _doubletr... INSTRUCTIONS Answer these questions: Portfolio Task Questions for EXPLORE 1. Define how each of the components work? Identify each component and describe how they work with text and images. 2. Identify what and where components are plugged into the GPIO. Why there? 3. Describe How the circuit works? Tell the story. Include a picture. [ use ] 1. Follow along with the instructions at: NOTE: we are building the Nano version and not the wireless version. The rest of the instructions below just add some value to those instructions. NOTE: You may get some value from following the official OttoDIY Instruction Manual. The main difference is the Nano expansion shield. 2. INSTALL & HOME THE HIP SERVOS > Connect the right hip servo to Pin 2, and the left hip servo to Pin 3. The body print has an arrow in the base that points forward, so you can orient left and right. Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 3

4 > HOME THE HIP SERVOS Otto_Servo Home > Unzip the archive above and copy libraries folder into arduino directory sketchbook location. You can figure this out by l ooking in the preferences in the Arduino IDE: File>Preferences Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 4

5 [See Install libraries [ ]] > Your Arduino folder should now have a library folder inside it. Now when the code [#include <Otto.h>] runs, it will know wh ere to get the Otto methods. > Open the sketch below to home the servos Otto_Servo Home > Start the Arduino Software (IDE), go to Sketch > Include Library. Verify that the library you just added is available in the list. > Set board [Arduino Nano] and port and old bootloader [ATMega328P (Old Bootloader)] > Upload and run the sketch. You will hear the servos move into position then detach 3. INSTALL THE LEGS > Connect the right leg to Pin 4, the left leg to Pin INSTALL & HOME THE FEET Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 5

6 > NOTE: You will find that you need to break off the feet to install them. This is OK, just use superglue to position and glue them back. 5. BATTERY HOLDER AND BATTERIES > Cut a male-male jumper cable in half and solder one end to the anode (black lead) of the battery holder and the other to an 'on' termina l of the switch. > Use some electrical tape to insulate the solder joints Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 6

7 > Tap into the power from the APC220 Radio Data Module header by connecting the Anode (black lead from the battery pack) to pin 1 (GND) and the Cathode (red lead originating from b attery pack, joined to switch the middle post of the switch and coming out of the 'on' post) to pin 2 (VCC 5V power). > Place Battery pack in body 6. ULTRASONIC SENSOR Physical Computing and Embedded Sytems Page 7

8 > connect the "trig" to pin 8 (on the sensor shield it's labelled as column "D" on pin 8. The "echo" connector then goes to pin 9 (also the "D" pin in that column). The Vcc and GND pins from the ultrasonic are then connected to VCC and GND columns respectively, in Row 8. Place the Nano board & shield into the head. This will push into the ultrasonic sensor, but it will help keep it all firmly in place. Once you have it located, place four small screws into the four points of the board. Connect the battery to the board and test with battery power to ensure it is functioning (ie, there's an LED on the nano). We have made a small 6mm hole in the base of the body. Remove the switch nut and push through the hole, securing it on the other side with the nut. Be mindful that with a toggle switch we do not want the toggle to be rubbing against the legs. Place the battery pack into the body between the hip servos, and then clip the body together.

9 Coding Option 1: Example code: This seems to be the supported option. However, you do need to download mblock. Option 2: Arduino Blocks This is an online IDE based on Google Blockly. As communicating with an online IDE and our Arduino Nano through a proxy and other security blocks is an issue, we will be exporting out the.ino file and uploading it with the Arduino IDE. 1.
