| + | == Frida Control Panel V3 for the box UNDER DEVELOPMENT == | ||
| + | Still pretty much the same idea, implemented on a custom circuit board with the atmega168 chip and max7219 led drivers among notable parts. It is arduino-compatible trough a FTDI USB cable. Uses segment led bars for display of measurements. Interfaces the air quality and weather sensors. Keeps an eye on the battery voltage too. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Very similar to the V1 except connected to the computer trough an arduino instead of a parallel port. | ||
| + | The needed firmware code for the Arduino is (sorry, missing at this time, [[Talk:User:Luka][ucanbugme!]]) | ||
| + | |||
| + | The serial protocol is line oriented with the first character being the command. Some example lines: | ||
| + | s 1 1 0 0 | ||
| + | s 7 1 0 0 | ||
| + | w 0 0 | ||
| + | w 1 0 | ||
| + | w 1 1 | ||
| + | w 2 0 | ||
| + | b 1 | ||
| + | b 2 | ||

| + | ;s: switch states sent by the panel | ||
| + | ;w: led states sent to the panel | ||
| + | ;b: led blink requests sent to the panel | ||
