After the single machine circuit had worked out, I was going to integrate more mist machines together to the circuit. It is because one mist machine is not enough for my work. I have bought 3 more mist machines for my whole circuit uses.
Each mist machine needs AC 24V 1.2Amp. Hence, I need an AC 24V 4.8Amp adapter to give power to 4 mist machines. However, I cannot find an adapter with 5Amp. The maximum value of adapter that I have found is 3Amp only. So, I have bought 2 adapters for giving power to the whole circuit. It should be safe and stable.

Start on Software Part: Learning references on AS3.0
Besides doing the Interim Report, I am now thinking on the FLASH part. I am going to find the references about sound detection on Flash. I am spending time to read the references on Flash AS3.0 .

Start to do the Interim Report
I have dated Koala and Raymond to have Interim Report Submittion and Presentation on 28/1(Friday) at 5:30pm at Inno Center.
I think I have to start to do the Interim Report right now.

Circuit SUCCESSFULLY DONE !
After a week time to integrate the circuit, I have faced a lot of difficulties. I keep read the book and the tutorials on the website and asked comments from my EE friend. Finally, it is perfectly DONE!
VERY VERY POWERFUL .\_/.!!!
Here is the video about the operation of the whole circuit:

Integrate the circuit
After I have add the programming code to the microcontroller, I need to test it. So that, I am going to integrate the whole circuit. I am following the circuit diagram that I have designed before. Hope I can be successful!

Program on microcontroller
I have finished the programming part.
#include <avr/io.h>
#include <util/delay.h>
//Simple Wait Function
void Wait()
{
uint8_t i;
for(i=0;i<250;i++)
{
_delay_loop_2(0);
}
}
void main(){
DDRC = 0x00; // Configure Port C as input port
PORTC = 0xFF; //enable internal pull-up
DDRD = 0xF0; // Configure Port D as input port
PORTD = 0xFF; //enable internal pull-up
while(1){
if(PINC==0xfe){ //pull key 1
PORTD|=_BV(7); //relay on
}
else if(PINC==0xfd){ //pull key 2
PORTD&=~_BV(7); //relay off
}
else{
if((PIND & 0b00000001) == 0b00000001) //get input
PORTD&=~_BV(7); //relay off
else{
PORTD|=_BV(7); //relay on
Wait(); //5 second delay
}
}
}
}
I have set:
when distance sensor get the signal, the mist machine would work after 5 seconds.
To add the programming to the microcontroller , an AVR-ISP programmer is needed.
Here is a programmer for me to transfer the program from the computer to the microcontroller .

A updated detail Circuit Diagram
Oh yeah! I have finished all the exams in this semseter. But, still have some assignments...

Start on learning the C programming to operate with Microcontroller
I borrowed a book from my friend. It is about the C programming and the operation of Microcontroller.
Actually, I have studied C programming from two CS courses, which are
Actually, I have studied C programming from two CS courses, which are
CS2331 Problem Solving & Programming
CS2333 Object-Oriented Programming for Media
These 2 courses teach me the idea of C and C++ programming. And the course
CS2114 Computer Organization for Media
, which introduces the logic and operation between hardware and software.
Hence, it is easier for me to read and understand the book.
However, I have just learned the software part in school.
I have never tried to operate with the hardware yet. So, it is very exciting!
