Summary of the session:
- uploading our code on the ESP32 through Arduino IDE for the touch sensor and for displaying a word on the screen
- listing all our components
- looking for ways to make our project open and close easily
- exploring new ideas (like using an accelerometer to detect shaking and displaying the answer of the M8B)
List of the materials required to construct our Magic 8 Ball:
- 0802A LCD screen or an black and white picture screen
- ESP 32
- board
- wires
- touch sensor
- resistors
- LEDs (in bands)
- accelerometer
- outside box
To display the word "Magic 8 Ball" on the screen:
- We needed the "LiquidCrystal" library on Arduino IDE to be able to connect the 0802A LCD screen.
- We have to connect the LCD object with the pins RS, E, D4, D5, D6, and D7 of the 0802A LCD screen.
Requirements:
- Design For Manufacturing (= optimasing, reducing the cost without reducing the quality)
- Design For Assembling (= easy to assemble, we're required to be able to open our project freely, so we won't use any tape or glue)
