Instructions | Neltume: Language learning device for blind people

1

Print the parts for the enclosure

1.stl
2.stl
2

Add the buttons (Super Glue requiered)

You can use a different glue, but for me Super Glue was very effective The dimensions of the microswitch are 12x12mm and 6mm height.
3

Solder a common wire for the buttons

A and C, B and D are connected, so what we need to do is to connect every C with the A of the next button. After that we can give with only one cable 3.3v to the whole system.
4

Solder a ground wire for every button

Following the schema from the step 3, we need to solder a cable to every B pin in the whole button system.
5

Place the battery

I have used Double Sided Tape and some Electric Tape to place the battery.
6

Place the microprocessor (CHIP Pro Dev. Board)
7
Solder the buttons to CHIP Pro Dev. Board
Considering the following enumeration of the buttons :
- Solder the button 1 to D1, button 2 to D2 and following the sequences until the button 7 that is also D7.
- You need to solder the common wire to 3.3v.
8

Flash CHIP Pro with a debian distro

Following the instructions available in the documentation of CHIP Pro flash the microprocessor with a Debian distro.
9

Connect to CHIP Pro

Following the instructions available in the documentation of CHIP Pro connect via screen (for MAC or Linux in your PC) to the microprocessor.
10

Connect to WiFi

Assuming that you are already connected through Screen with CHIP Pro, we are going to set a Wifi connection. You can follow the instructions from the CHIP Pro documentation.
