- When I first started staying in the cabin I needed light
- kerosene lamp; not enough light
- Coleman lantern good light, but with the light came heat which was n=
ot
needed in August.
- From this came the wanting the ability to be able to have electric
lights.
|
|
4
|
- I built the cabin last year in my back yard then moved it to Franklin
County.
- Lumber yards
- Electric to power my tools
- I designed it in sections to make it easy to move using only wood sc=
rews
and 3/8” machine bolts.
|
|
5
|
- Electric lights in the cabin first I needed away to provide electric=
ity
to the cabin, electric lights don’t work to good with out it.<=
/li>
- Using 12 volt marine batteries and a 12vdc to 120vac 110 watt invert=
er.
- Researching into devices for controlling lights
|
|
6
|
- The web provide the information about X-10. There devices operate on=
the
“Powerline” Interconnection Technologies.
- Is a communications protocol that allows compatible home networking
products to talk to each other via the existing electrical wiring in=
the
home.
|
|
7
|
- The home automation line consists of “controllers“ and
”receiver” modules.
- The X-10 modules are plugged into household outlets or even mounted =
wall
switches.
- With the X-10 standard, you can literally walk into a nearby electro=
nics
store and purchase all of the necessary equipment required to automa=
te
your home.
|
|
8
|
- The web also provide the information on which Micro Controller to us=
e.
- The Basic Stamp 2 as built in commands that can output signals to X-=
10.
- Though hole OEM Basic Stamp 2 kit was half the price as the same mic=
ro
in surface mounted.
|
|
9
|
- The OEM kit came with all the parts needed.
- It is programmed with its own language (PBASIC).
|
|
10
|
- Problem was how to get the X-10 signal off the power line to the Bas=
ic
Stamp.
- Using a TM751 Daughter board.
|
|
11
|
- TM751 mother board blow
- The X-10 Wireless receiver (TM751) can only receive signals
- Wall switch (WS467) is only a receiver.
|
|
12
|
- Timing in the Stamp program to get the lights to work.
- X-10 needs a True Sine Wave to work, not a Modified Sine Wave.
|
|
13
|
- Looking on the internet for ideals or possible solutions to my light=
ing
problem.
- Designed the control circuit schematic
- Wrote the Program for the Stamp
|
|
14
|
- X-10 signal to the stamp was the use of relays.
|
|
15
|
- Read the inputs from the X-10 devices and give the desired outputs.<=
/li>
- Prevent the motion sensor from timing out then turning off the light=
.
|
|
16
|
- Motion Sensors from turning the lights on when you do not want them =
on.
|
|
17
|
- I was able to get everything to working on my project that was in the
light controlling part.
- Mounted lights in cabin; Inside, Outside
|
|
18
|
- Completed the soldering the basic stamp 2 OEM kit.
- Completed wiring circuit on the bread board.
- Completed writing stamp program in PBASIC.
- Completed building box with all devices installed.
- Completed building display board.
- Completed testing and trouble shooting.
|
|
19
|
- Learned about the “Powerline” Interconnection Technologi=
es
- Learned how to use it to automate a home
- Learned how to make household devices more convenient and secure to =
use.
|
|
20
|
- Basic Stamp
- Learned setup and working
- Programming
- Experience from Capstone Course
- Groups
- Research
|
|
21
|
- I plan on buying a true sine wave inverter to be able to power my li=
ght
control system by marine batteries.
- I plan to buy a solar panel system so I do not have to haul the
batteries every time I am coming or going from the cabin so I can ch=
arge
them.
- Plan to install the project in the cabin.
