Schematic

Use Microduino-shake sensor to detect the beat and let the motor lead the donkey to run forward for some distance. For the running speed and duration time, users can set by yourself based on personal needs.

  • Setup 3:Click upload to upload the program. When "Done Uploading" appears, the

program should have successfully been uploaded into the CoreUSB.

Program description

  • Control pin definitions explained.
#define motor_pinB 6  //Motor 1
#define motor_pinA 8  //Motor 1

//#define servo_pinB 5   //Motor 2
//#define servo_pinA 7   //Motor 2

const int vibrationPin = 10;  // Shack sensor
  • Locate the following code, where 255 is the maximum value of the motor speed, you can

adjust to any value from 0 to 255 (recommended value not less than 60, or may be

triggering Movies sensor stability).

  • Delay can be controlled motor running time, preset to 1000 ms, that one second, you can

modify it as needed.

void fullForward() {
  //digitalWrite(motor_pinB, HIGH);
  analogWrite(motor_pinB,255);//0-255
  digitalWrite(motor_pinA, LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

Hardware Buildup

  • Setup 1:Use the below diagram as reference and connect the sensors into the corresponding ports on the Hub module.

Result

By beating the table once, Microduino-Shake sensor can detect the vibration and the donkey will move forward accordingly for one second.
