Introduction: Arduino KickStarter Bell
This is a modification of Arduino XMAS Hitcounter and a page crawler was added. By using this project, you can be notified by the bell ring whenever the pledged amount is changed. I hope this is helpful and enjoy! arduino code : serial_python.ino developer : Ted Lien email: ted99.tw@gmail.com FB: facebook.com/ted99tw Step 1: Preparation
1. lighter 2. acrylic (roughly 15cmx7cm, thickness:3mm, any shape would work) 3. bell 4. SG90 servo 5. Arduino Uno R3 Step 2: Bend the Acrylic
Bend the acrylic with lighter Step 3: Assembling
1. connect Servo to pin 14 of Arduino 2. attach bell to the servo 3. assemble as long as the servo is free to rotate Step 4: Python Code
A page crawler code is added. You can download the source code at the introduction page. You would have to change the URL to your KS project link. Step 5: Arduino Code
The main loop of Arduino is to monitor any byte from serial port. If any, ring the bell. Step 6: Proof of Test
The code is tested with the real world. I hope this help and enjoy. Ted Lien ted99.tw@gmail.com
