Story

Project

Do you know a game called "Etch A Sketch"?

You can draw lines with each knob on the bottom corner: the left knob for horizontal lines and the right knob for vertical lines.

I made this toy by using PHPoC Arduino Shield (P4S-347/P4S-348).

How it Works

Data from 2 rotary switches is sent to web page, and it draws lines using HTML5 canvas like the Etch A Sketch.

ADC reads voltage from rotary switches and converts it to a number between 0 and 1023 (5V). You can only try easy drawings, because the values are only available from 0 to 1023.

When you use a mobile device, you can erase drawings by shaking the device which is shown in the video.

Code

#include "SPI.h"
#include "Phpoc.h"

PhpocServer server(80);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while(!Serial)
    ;

  Phpoc.begin(PF_LOG_SPI | PF_LOG_NET);
  //Phpoc.begin();

  server.beginWebSocket("rotary_canvas");

  Serial.print("WebSocket server address : ");
  Serial.println(Phpoc.localIP());  
}

void loop() {
      
  int x = 0, y = 0;
  
  for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) 
  {
    x = x + analogRead(A0);
    y = y + analogRead(A1);
  }
  
  String rotary = String(x/10) + "/" + String(y/10);
  
  char rotaryBuf[10];
  rotary.toCharArray(rotaryBuf, 10);
  
  server.write(rotaryBuf);
  Serial.println(rotaryBuf);
  
  delay(50);
}
