SPEEDsSTACK Stopwatch
Intro: SPEEDsSTACK Stopwatch
In this instructable i will show how to make a touch sensitive stopwatch like the SpeedStack's stopwatch.
STEP 1: Supplies:
* Arduino pro mini
* Adafruit OLED screen (128*68 i2c)
* Copper tape
* 2 Leds
* 2 10 Kohm resistors
* 3 220 ohm resistors
* Wire
****** NOTICE: The touch sensitive are actually made of copper tape and resistor using the CapSense lib.
Also, usually i use the Arduino UNO at the planing and designing state and when done change to Arduino Pro Mini
STEP 2: Used Libraries :
I used several of them :
1. For the capacitive touch i used the CapSense library.
2. For the OLED display i used several of them that requier each other :
SPI.h - The library is used to communicate over SPI protocol.
WIRE.h - Used to communicate over I2C protocol
Adafruit-GFX-Library - Used to work with the OLED display.
Adafruit_SSD1306 - Used for the monochrome OLED based on SSD1306 drivers.
STEP 3: CODE :
#include
#include #include #include #include
#define OLED_RESET 4 Adafruit_SSD1306 display(OLED_RESET);
#define Red 7 #define Green 8 #define ResetB 6 #define Sensitive 20 #define delayRun 2000 #define blinkDelay 75
#if (SSD1306_LCDHEIGHT != 64)
#error("Height incorrect, please fix Adafruit_SSD1306.h!");
#endifCapacitiveSensor cs_4_2 = CapacitiveSensor(5, 4); // 10M resistor between pins 4 & 2, pin 2 is sensor pin, add a wire and or foil if desired CapacitiveSensor cs_4_6 = CapacitiveSensor(3, 2); // 10M resistor between pins 4 & 6, pin 6 is sensor pin, add a wire and or foil
boolean hold = false, runT = false; long holdTime, stopWatch; long total1 ; long total2 ; long calculator, blinkCount = 0, over; int Hours, Minuts, Seconds, Tseconds;
void setup()
{

}
total1 = cs_4_2.capacitiveSensor(30);

}
}

display.clearDisplay();

display.setCursor(32,30);
display.print ("<<<>>>");
display.display();
Serial.print (total1);
Serial.print ("\t");
Serial.println (total1);
Serial.println ("ONE Touch");
} //*** No touch at all
if (total1 <= Sensitive && total2 <= Sensitive) {
digitalWrite (Green, LOW);
digitalWrite (Red, LOW);
display.clearDisplay();
display.setCursor (0,0);
display.print ("SPEEDsTACK");
hold = false;
Serial.println ("NO Touch");
} /*
Serial.print(total1); // print sensor output 1
Serial.print("\t");
Serial.println(total2); // print sensor output 2
*/
delay(10); // arbitrary delay to limit data to serial port
}STEP 4: Placing and Painting
After all the electronics was set I placed all the componets and wires using 3M dubble sided tape and a regular electric tape.
Then I designed and printed a sicker, and sicked it to the stopwatch.
The area were the sticker does not cover, i painted using PlastiDip paint.

Hi, I really love your project. I am now building the same but I am using an LCD keypad shield so any idea how to conenct the rest of the parts to the shield.

Hi,
I never used the LCD keypad shield, but i know there are lots of libs and guide to use it, it will probebly take some twiking of my code to adjust it to the keypad but it should work.
