Chaos Box

ChaosBox is derived from LadyAdas Wave bubble, the begining of her "Design Noir" and "Culture war". While I loved the concept, what I saw was a evolution larger. As a student I was interested in tools to help with lab projects and classroom education. As we started brainstorming, discussing the reprocussions of such a devices and its utility, we discovered even more, we realized its use as an anti-radio-controled IED. We chose to attempt to expand on the original designs dual band, increasing it to four, while replacing a simple 555 timer sweep control with a microcontroller. We also added input functionality. In the end what we had was a wide-band, programmable FM transmitter that opperated from 400MHz to 3100MHz. With the Microcontroller, it could act in many modes, from simple FM to more complicated frequency hoping methods. The use of VCO's could be limiting, however, they are also very easy and bring an analog nature.

#include < Servo.h >

int ledPinRed = 16;  // LED we’ll turn on while program runs. Helps with troubleshooting.
int tiggerSwitch = 8;  // The switch to activate the machine
int posDoorUp = 120;  // Variable storage for servo positioning, used for Door opening
int posSwitchUp = 180; // Variable storaged for servo, used for swing arm up.
int posSwitchDn = 1; // Variable storage for servo, used for swing arm down.
int posDoorDn = 80; // Variable storage for servo, used for Door Closing.
Servo servoDoor; // Create Object for Door Servo.
Servo servoSwitch; //Create object for Switch servo.
int ledPinGreen = 14;
int ledPinBlue = 15;



void  setup () {

servoSwitch.attach(10);  //setup Switch servo on pin 10
servoDoor.attach(9);  //setup Door servo on pin 9.
pinMode(ledPinGreen,OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPinGreen, HIGH);
pinMode(ledPinBlue, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(ledPinBlue, HIGH);
pinMode(ledPinRed, OUTPUT); // setup pin 8 as an output.
digitalWrite(ledPinRed, HIGH);
pinMode(tiggerSwitch, INPUT); //setup pin 14 as an input for the Switch.
servoSwitch.write(posSwitchDn);
servoDoor.write(posDoorDn);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite (ledPinRed, HIGH);  //Turn on LED so we know things are running

if( digitalRead(tiggerSwitch) == LOW ) {  //test if switch has been flipped, if so do next

servoDoor.write(posDoorUp);
delay(300);
servoSwitch.write(posSwitchUp);
delay(500);
servoSwitch.write(posSwitchDn);
delay(1000);
servoDoor.write(posDoorDn);

}
else {
  digitalWrite (ledPinGreen, HIGH);
  delay(500);
  digitalWrite (ledPinGreen, LOW);
  delay(500);
}
delay(500);
digitalWrite (ledPinRed, LOW); //Turn off LED to cause a Blinking action. if LED is on longer then off
delay(500);  //if LED stays on longer then off, it ran through code
}
        
      

I don't do that!

G+ was really the best Social Media site ever! Twiter, it could do better. Facebook, this was hands down better for groups, or direct messaging. Buisnesses, they could have a real converstaion. Photo-junkies, it was great for that. Sad days :(
