# Espruino Flag Raiser
|
||||
|
||||
An app to send a command to another Espruino to cause it to raise a flag.
|
||||
|
||||
For this to work, you need to upload the following code to another
|
||||
bluetooth Espruino device (the one with the flag attached) :
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
var FLAG_PIN = D14;
|
||||
|
||||
var s = require("servo").connect(FLAG_PIN);
|
||||
s.move(1,3000); // move to position 1 over 3 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
var timeout;
|
||||
function flag() {
|
||||
if (timeout) clearTimeout();
|
||||
s.move(0.2,2000);
|
||||
timeout = setTimeout(function() {
|
||||
timeout = undefined;
|
||||
s.move(1,2000);
|
||||
},2000);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
setWatch(flag, BTN, {repeat:true});
|
||||
|
||||
NRF.setServices({
|
||||
"3e440001-f5bb-357d-719d-179272e4d4d9": {
|
||||
"3e440002-f5bb-357d-719d-179272e4d4d9": {
|
||||
value : [0],
|
||||
maxLen : 1,
|
||||
writable : true,
|
||||
onWrite : function(evt) {
|
||||
flag();
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}, { uart : false });
|
||||
NRF.setAdvertising({}, {name:"Flag"});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Wiring
|
||||
|
||||
This is designed for an [MDBT42Q Breakout board](http://www.espruino.com/MDBT42Q)
|
||||
but should work on any Bluetooth LE Espruino device - you just need to change `FLAG_PIN`
|
||||
to the name of the pin that's connected to the servo motor.
|
||||
|
||||
However, as designed:
|
||||
|
||||
* Get an [MDBT42Q Breakout board](http://www.espruino.com/MDBT42Q)
|
||||
* Connect `GND` to GND (black) of a 3.7v LiPo battery
|
||||
* Connect `Vin` to positive (red) of the battery
|
||||
* Take a servo motor and:
|
||||
* Connect the Black wire to `GND` (LiPo GND)
|
||||
* Connect the Red wire to `Vin` (LiPo 3.7v)
|
||||
* Connect the White wire to `D14` on the MDBT42Q
|
||||
|
||||
## How does it work?
|
||||
|
||||
The code above changes the advertised name of the Espruino device to be
|
||||
`Flag` (which the app then searches for).
|
||||
|
||||
Then, it adds a service UUID `3e440001-f5bb-357d-719d-179272e4d4d9` (this
|
||||
is just a random number we made up) with characteristic `3e440002-f5bb-357d-719d-179272e4d4d9`
|
||||
(the same UUID with the second 16 bits incremented). When the characteristic
|
||||
is written (with any data), `flag()` is called, which raises the flag.
|
||||
|
||||
`flag()` itself uses the [servo module](http://www.espruino.com/Servo+Motors)
|
||||
to allow the servo motor to be controlled easily.
|
||||
|
||||
You might find the [Espruino About Bluetooth LE page](http://www.espruino.com/About+Bluetooth+LE)
|
||||
is useful as an introduction to services and characteristics.
|
||||
|
||||
### Don't want to use a servo motor?
|
||||
|
||||
No problem, just replace `flag()` with a function that controls whatever you need
|
||||
it to.
