VREL Raspberry-Arduino
Arduino based remote lab can be included into DistanceLab environement via Raspberry programming server.
Reccommended hardware set:
- Raspberry Pi Model B ver 3
- Power Supply
- Case
- SD card
- HD Webcam C270 - Logitech
- Arduino Uno (or clone)
- 1610 LCD shield with analog pinout (e.g. Itead Keypad Shield)
- Temperature sensor with voltage divider (e.g. Thermistor NTC 10K + voltage divider wire)
- Small servo motor (e.g. Servo micro)
- USB cable between Raspberry and Arduino
Set-up and connection
- Install default Rasbian from raspberrypi.org and establish internet connection for Raspberry Pi
- Connect webcam to Raspberry Pi USB port
- Connect Arduino to another Raspberry Pi USB port
- Mount LCD shield on the top of Arduino and connect temperature sensor and servo motor to analog inputs
- Point camera to view Arduino LCD (check focus - C270 would approx. 40 cm)
- Make sure that Raspberry ports 22, 8080 and webcamera port 10000 (you can use whatever open port you want) are accessible from outside of organization network
- Send ip address and Raspberry credentials to developer (ITT Group contact person)
