Product Compactbility and Enquiry

Post by cleverland »

My team and I are partaking in a project using arduino. We would want to purchase some product. They are:

1. http://www.adafruit.com/products/1386
2. http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cc3000-wifi/overview
3. One Ping ultrasonic sensor.
4. One temperature sensor.
5. A music kit.

All of these component will be connected to one arduino uno board. Do you think we will have problem with pins usage? That is, if one of these components will use a PIN NUMBER similar to another component.

Thanks for your response and we will appreciate if we could be clear with these issues and make order as soon as possible.

Best Regards,
Clever Ubiagege.

You don't specify which temperature sensor or 'music kit'.

The Ping sensor requires precise timing code and can be difficult to integrate with other code and components. We prefer the Maxbotics ultrasonic sensors since they have a simple analog output. http://www.adafruit.com/index.php?main_ ... q=maxbotix

Oh sorry about not specifying the other components better enough. Here they are:

- Temperature sensor, http://www.adafruit.com/products/165.
- Music kit, http://www.adafruit.com/products/175.

And yeah, we can use the maxbotic ultrasonic sensor you recommended. Just through the details of that product.

So do you think we can connect all these component to one arduino uno board or we will need the arduino mega 2560?

You will definitely have some pin conflicts using an Arduino UNO. Unfortunately, the Wave Shield from the Music and Sound Pack is not compatible with the Mega pinout.

We do have the VS1053 CODEC board, http://www.adafruit.com/products/1381
This will work with the Mega and has the ability to play many more file formats than the wave shield, as well as much higher quality stereo output.

To use the VS1053, you would also need an amplifier: http://www.adafruit.com/products/1552
And speakers http://www.adafruit.com/products/1363

Hi,
I went through the beam characteristics of the maxbotic ultrasonic sensor but i didn't quite understand it. I would want to get more information about the beam angles for LV-EZ2, LV-EZ3 and LV-EZ4.

Thanks.
CLEVER.

The beam pattern depends on the object being sensed. For wide flat objects, these sensors are all very similar. For very small objects The LV-EZ2 and LV-EZ3 are more sensitive: http://www.maxbotix.com/pictures/LV/LV- ... tterns.gif
