Presentation of CIAABOT

Presentation of the CIAABOT development environment and an example of use where the movement of a finger printed in 3D is controlled.

special

Direction of the wind

In this example a weather vane and the CIAABOT environment are used to determine the wind direction and display this information on a computer.

special

Measurement of wind speed

In this example an anemometer and the CIAABOT environment are used to measure the wind speed and visualize it in a computer.

special

EDU-CIAA Weather Station

It measures the wind direction and speed, and accumulated precipitation, and sends this info to a server to visualize them by using a mobile app.

special

SMD Welding Oven

It can be adapted to any kind of electric oven, controls its temperature to solder electronic components, and it is configured via a mobile phone.

special

Automatic winding machine

Number of laps, step and length of the coil configurable, among other parameters. It uses an EDU-CIAA, a DC motor and a stepper motor.

special

Flexible Weather Station

It uses the HT11 sensor and the Pont operating system and sends the information to a PC via WiFi, to an App via Bluetooth, to an SD card and to an LCD.

Robotics and movement control

special

CIAA-drone Antarctic flight

A EDU-CIAA-based quadcopter with camera and GPS did its first flight in the Marambio Base, in the Argentine Sector of Antarctica.

special

Steering Wheel Mobile robot

The EDU-CIAA track the smartphone movements via Bluetooth, interprets them as commands, and makes the robot go ahead, go back, stop and turn.

special

Unmanned Ground Vehicle

Based on CIAA and Arduino modules, and NuttX RTOS, uses the MAVlink protocol for communication, enabling interfacing with ROS (Robot Operating System)

special

Autoorientable satellite antenna

A CIAA-NXP orientates the antenna to the specified satellite. This system was designed to support the patagonian high winds and extreme temperatures.

Food, plants and crops

special

Home irrigation with picoCIAA

Automatic irrigation system using the picoCIAA. Includes an humidity sensor, a pump controller and a Wi-Fi connection for setup and control.

special

Hydroponic drip system

An EDU-CIAA is responsible for maintaining constant levels of nutrients in the crop, optimizing the growth time and resources used.

special

Control of wine fermentation

A CIAA-NXP controls the fermentation temperature of the wine, which improves its quality, using a real-time operating system.

special

Oven for haute cuisine

Through a mobile phone and Bluetooth it is configured an EDU-CIAA that controls and graphs the cooking temperature of the food in real time.

special

Thermal control of liquids

The system uses a heater, a DS18b20 sensor and a WiFi module ESP8266, to control the temperature of the liquid and to graph it in a web interface.

Transportation, cargo tracking, parking and barriers

special

Telemetry by GPRS

The EDU-CIAA-NXP is used to send position and sensor data through the GPRS network to a web platform that is accessible on any device.

special

Automated parking

The system controls the access barrier, vehicle entrances and exits, reads and issues tickets, and records all movements in a database.

special

Railway crossing monitor

Based on a CIAA-NXP, this systems monitors the movement of the barriers booms, aiding accident prevention.

special

Programmable transit barrier

An EDU-CIAA programmed in Ladder using the IDE4PLC controls a traffic barrier that remains open for the stipulated time.

Graphic interfaces, video games and emulators

special

HDMI interface for EDU-CIAA

This implementation allows to connect the EDU-CIAA to a HDMI display in order to show figures, drawings and graphical user interfaces.

special

Video game emulator

Using the EDU-CIAA to recreate old computers from the 80s and emulate its classics video games. A TFT or VGA display can be connected.

Procesamiento de audio en tiempo real

special

EDU-CIAA speech recognition

The system recognizes spanish words spoken by any person in real time and without the need of an external server.

Access control

special

Bluetooth detector

It detects the presence of Bluetooth devices and calculates the distance. Shows the distance by using the EDU-CIAA color LEDs and a PC Software.

Miscellaneous and curious uses

special

The CIAA opening a beer

It is appreciated how an EDU-CIAA can be used to open a beer, without the result of the process being affected by the programming language used.
