The physical part is finished, but the USB to 1-wire controller broke down so we couldn't do any coding.

Right now we are doing "assembly line production" of all the power plant / factory phicons.<br /><br />Also we need to get the map ready - attach the circuits for the three gauge meters, lcd display, bus relays and turn button. Also we need decide which attachment points belong to which bus and wire them up. On the top side of the map we need to visualize rivers, add the cities and do some more "beautification".<br /><br />The software can now handle all the output and input (with the exception of the power grid connection cord that isn't detectable yet). There is still some programming required for the game logic but hopefully it'll be finished in time.Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-15198467927192663682010-04-20T22:13:00.000+02:002010-04-20T22:14:46.778+02:00Iteration report IV - Implementation<a href="https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Aa9_9U2YgoVrZHM3ejI0cl8xMzVjdzduMndkdA&hl=sv">Iteration report IV - Implementation</a>Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-51959023678485084052010-04-19T18:51:00.002+02:002010-04-19T18:58:32.489+02:00Were getting thereToday we built the power regulator circuit and attached it to a heat sink.

That way it's easy to keep track of what DS2408 is supposed to represent a factory, what is supposed to be a nuclear power plant and so on...<br /><br />Next on the todo-list is to dwelve further into how to control the bits on the DS2408. Now the code alternates the state but I want to set the state instead. Also have to figure out how to read the input bit connected to the wire that can be connected to the main power grid (+5).<br /><br />It all seems quite doable right now!Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-56082159059158036082010-04-02T00:27:00.002+02:002010-04-02T00:29:23.753+02:00Iteration III, Prototyping reportHere is our <a href="http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0Aa9_9U2YgoVrZHM3ejI0cl8xMzB2NnNkdDJjcQ&hl=sv">report for iteration III</a>.Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-15310630800453980852010-04-01T23:28:00.007+02:002010-04-01T23:44:51.609+02:00Interesting report<a href="http://eprints.comp.lancs.ac.uk/2200/1/VillarThesis-FinalDraft.pdf">This paper</a> by Nicolas Villar talks about a lot of things, but I was fascinated by the use of a "surface network" for the Dallas 1-wire we use, look especially at pdf page 81-84 (page number 63-66). It's a soft surface that you connect things to by driving "spikes" into the self healing rubbery material.<br /><br />I don't think we can use this because of time constraints and the fact that we need three wires, not just two as they use, but it would have let us get rid of the 32 slot restriction and would look really cool!Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-90429154683710009862010-04-01T17:02:00.008+02:002010-04-01T23:19:18.113+02:00New architectureWe now sucessfully have tried the <a href="http://www.maxim-ic.com/products/1-wire/">Dallas 1-wire bus</a> via a USB-adapter (ds9490R). The bus is hotpluggable so one can add and remove components and detect what is connected. Each component has a unique ID-number so everything can be identified. We will use this system to detect what power plants and factories that are connected.<br /><br />One cannot detect where something is connected though, but we will solve that by dividing the bus into several spokes that can be connected and disconnected by means of a DS2408 that is a 8 port I/O port that drives 6 reed relays (will post a schematic for that later, but the basics is described <a href="http://www.maxim-ic.com/app-notes/index.mvp/id/148">here</a> - see the switched network section). This way one can loop through the spokes and detect what is connected to each of them.<br /><br />A new schematic for the powerplants and factories is displayed here. The IC DS2408 drives 5 LEDs and reads if the GRID-pin is connected to Vcc - in the game this is equivalent to connecting the power plant/factory to the main power grid, thereby getting or using power.<br />(The cities are actually wired the same way, they just don't have a plug, they are hard wired.)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnP1vFMv6Q6gN7-Uzp7ckGaGDWR5NgE-mnCD-aMdz-AnUiXlBwtmw0NSh8YUFTOT4hKTASb0ur8FMOAQ_Zvk2N7DSXFid9x1XDi3VsDKb-fVJlP6Azyo8TMUioeWTM2-5rgtp46tTUBIuT/s1600/plant-factory.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 288px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnP1vFMv6Q6gN7-Uzp7ckGaGDWR5NgE-mnCD-aMdz-AnUiXlBwtmw0NSh8YUFTOT4hKTASb0ur8FMOAQ_Zvk2N7DSXFid9x1XDi3VsDKb-fVJlP6Azyo8TMUioeWTM2-5rgtp46tTUBIuT/s320/plant-factory.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5455189353202093682" border="0" /></a>Åkehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00489387955071224457noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943524932046891058.post-16236011813258005962010-03-22T07:43:00.007+01:002010-03-22T08:14:58.679+01:00Prototype v 0.1 and usability test no1<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaB4gBVEMetGvbPK8E9TaMN7q_hnkPGr5SkA4Y078Flwpm7ZO9WjfVMrCmfVdK0SNP1M036tKHAXrinx20Vin9vnzwwvizmPtBP2u740GNmqhqlmBGlsSBMhq2qxki_EvPeDUugH-SuI/s1600-h/DSC00337.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUaB4gBVEMetGvbPK8E9TaMN7q_hnkPGr5SkA4Y078Flwpm7ZO9WjfVMrCmfVdK0SNP1M036tKHAXrinx20Vin9vnzwwvizmPtBP2u740GNmqhqlmBGlsSBMhq2qxki_EvPeDUugH-SuI/s320/DSC00337.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451353135049918530" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr380wsl0Q-SkuIkCY5cehy2-jvAaOj-LOF2u1NcePS3a_ZkJy1t58NJo8hlxQoigAnrRjbvvcBkjhDHqPz0tF0fILfrNUEZGb9XFxQiYB3I2NQISuUOQUnrYzrydkcYgAfgQ670QiTvU/s1600-h/DSC00323.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhr380wsl0Q-SkuIkCY5cehy2-jvAaOj-LOF2u1NcePS3a_ZkJy1t58NJo8hlxQoigAnrRjbvvcBkjhDHqPz0tF0fILfrNUEZGb9XFxQiYB3I2NQISuUOQUnrYzrydkcYgAfgQ670QiTvU/s320/DSC00323.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451352406473699986" border="0" /></a><br />We had our first usability test on 18th , 19th March with one kid and three <span class="hw"><span class="BASE">participants in our group.
