4duino Sensor Kit 40-in-1 for ROCK PI

[Dante4]

Well, it took 2 days almost to figure out for myself how to get temperature from i2c controller (named B38 Temperature I2C Sensor). It was just enough simple for me to feel ashamed for not understanding this before. So now, I will try to get thought all 40 sensors (or at least some of them), so other ppl will be able to just copy-paste and make it working without extra googling. It’s python unless stated otherwise. Remember to install libmraa first

For now there is only i2c Temperature sensor

Done
B03 Microphone Sensor Module

Connect like this

Python code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import mraa
import time
gpio_1 = mraa.Gpio(16)
gpio_1.dir(mraa.DIR_IN)
while True:
 if gpio_1.read()==1:
  print("Contact")
 time.sleep(0.05)

B08 Touch Sensor

Anomaly

Anomaly 1 out pin is always have voltage from power pin. That’s may end not well if you connect it to 5V input, use 3.3v input.
Anomaly 2 conclusion from Anomaly 1, because of this it’s always status “1” without touch and it will status “0” if touch

Connect like this

Python code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import mraa
import time
gpio_1 = mraa.Gpio(16)
gpio_1.dir(mraa.DIR_IN)
while True:
 print(gpio_1.read())
 time.sleep(1)

B14 Button

Anomaly

Anomaly 1 out pin is always have voltage from power pin. That’s may end not well if you connect it to 5V input, use 3.3v input.
Anomaly 2 conclusion from Anomaly 1, because of this it’s always status “1” without button pressed and it will status “0” if button pressed

Connect like this

Yes, to 3.3v

Python code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import mraa
import time
gpio_1 = mraa.Gpio(16)
gpio_1.dir(mraa.DIR_IN)
while True:
 print(gpio_1.read())
 time.sleep(1)

B37 8 LED PCB

Notice

Remember to first activate “i2c7”
To get LED number in bit form you need to 2^LED number, so as example to turn on\off only 7 and 6 you need to 2^7+2^6=192, so you need x.writeByte(192) to work with only 7 and 6. To work with 7, 6 and 5 you need 2^7+2^6+2^5=224 - x.writeByte(224), etc, etc

Connection as follow

Python code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import mraa as m
import time

x = m.I2c(0)
x.address(0x20)
x.writeByte(128)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(64)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(32)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(16)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(8)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(4)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(2)
time.sleep(1)
x.writeByte(1)
time.sleep(1)

B38 Temperature I2C Sensor

Notice

Remember to first activate “i2c7”

Connection as follow

Python code

#!/usr/bin/env python

import mraa as m

# initialise I2C
x = m.I2c(0)
# to initialize exactly our i2c device we need to bind it's address which is 4F
x.address(0x4F)
# Now we say "Update temperature value in memory"
x.writeByte(0x00)
# Now we extract this value
d = x.read(2)
# the sensor can be from 8 bit to 13 bit correct (actually from 7 to 12, but later on that), 
# i just choose to use 13 bit because there is no drawbacks
# by doing this I'm able to get 13 bit value which is our temperature in bit form
temp_c = (d[0] << 5) | (d[1] >> 3)
# here is detection of +\-, basically out of 13 bit the very first bit is always used to say is temp
# positive or negative. If it's 1 it's negative, if it's 0 it's positive
if (temp_c>>11) == 1:
 temp_c = temp_c - (1 << 13)
temp_c = temp_c * 0.03125
print(temp_c)

B36 Motion Detection / Bewegungsmelder

No matter what it’s always 0.6 on out pin, so i have no idea, what i do wrong, since i only not jumped in front of it…

B22 IR Receiver 38kHz

There is just no library for IR, at least ATM

Can’t test or don’t have any use for it

my sugestion, use logic level converter to interfacing with 5v device, it will convert 3.3v to 5v for every pin…
