How to combine art with technology? How to put codes into real environment in order to make people happy? How to design an interactive object with Arduino, even if you are beginner?
Learn to make a color change cat, controlled with your Android phone. This project helps you understand NFC directly simply by your cellphone.
Step 1: Materials
- An Arduino Core Board -- for example, a Xadow Main Board (Link to buy)
- NFC module -- for example, a Xadow NFC module (Link to buy)
- RGB LED -- for example, Grove - Chainable RGB LED, it's quite bright and can be used in chain (Link to buy), this is a key part to enable color switching
- 3D-printed cat, model uploaded
- Micro USB cable, this is for Xadow board (included in the Xadow Main Board)
- Lipo power with JTAG 1mm (included in the Xadow Main Board)
Step 2: Assemble and Program
Here is how to use Xadow:
Combine + Connect + Program
- Check the items last step, we've combine those modules together
- Connect the Xadow modules, we made a prototype from parts. Arduino won't work until it is programmed to do such things
- Download the code on github, and upload them to boards. Don't forget the Grove-chainable-led.
- Final check, put all of them into a shell (3d-printed or paper-cut)
Step 3: Control with Android
