MIBAM and 12F1822...

[Darrel Taylor]

Sure, the USART will work fine with MIBAM.
Then you don't need to disable interrupts.

I don't think you can have the POT connected, since the USART will use 2 pins and the LED's use 3 pins.
There won't be an analog pin left. But since the serial data controls the LED's, you probably don't need the POT anymore.

update: finally got time to test the new MIBAM with the 12F1822 and works like a charm!! good stuff.
So.... to make a more "proper" test I figured I'd whip up a little project to give a better demo, so did a quick and dirty pcb design threw in a few components, and presto a uber quick, interactive light module, (always wanted a interactive tabletop)

here's a super rough video showing it all in action...



I'm going to take a few days to clean up the code/pcb gerbers and post them
here if anyone wants to build a fun blinky toy...

Ooooo, very cool!
That's the neatest use of MIBAM I've seen so far.

Thanks for the video. I think my counter top needs a makeover. (if I wasn't renting)

[Bruce]

Yup. Very cool. Are you using the LEDs to sense changes, then flipping them to outputs, or using sensors?

[alesniak]

the circuit is just a phototransistor and a resistor for the detector, I added a IR led next to it as well so it works in the dark. I sample the ADC every few ms and calculate the difference from previous/last sample, to get a delta value, and just trigger some flahsy lights if the delta exceeds the threshold value, which controls how sensitive the trigger is.

I now have 1 pin left to do something with (I used it for debug output to see what my adc output was, thinking of using it to trigger adjacent modules perhaps, to create a cascading effect perhaps)

funny didn't intend to build this earlier, but it's kinda fun, so I'll just keep going with it and see what I can get this tiny pic to do..

and the 12f1822 is dirt cheap so perhaps I'll build a few dozen at least and
see how it goes.

Am I the only one that cannot see the video?

Doies it start or it says it's blocked due to copyright plah plah? Works here though (Firefox)
