Provides a collection of helper methods for creating animations, melodies and interactions with a Petduino.
- Download and install the latest version of the Arduino IDE.
- Download and install the latest CH340G chip drivers.
- Download the latest LedControl arduino library.
- Install the LedControl library using the standard Arduino library install procedure.
- Download the latest Petduino library from the Releases page.
- Install this library using the standard Arduino library install procedure.
Every Petduino project starts with the same basic code structure.
#include <LedControl.h>
#include <Petduino.h>
Petduino pet = Petduino();
void setup() {
// Setup Petduino
pet.begin();
}
void loop() {
// Update pet
pet.update();
// Do your thing...
}
From here Petduino exposes a number of methods to help you handle interactions from your Petduinos various inputs, methods to help you draw graphics to the Petduinos display and a simple state manager to help create non blocking animations.
To explore all the things you can do with your Petduino, checkout the various examples in the examples folder.
| Example | Description |
|---|---|
| AlienDelay | Basic example to show rendering graphics to the display and playing simple tones. |
| AlienState | The same as the AlienDelay example, however this time showing the use of Petduinos state manager to create not blocking animations. |
| ButtonExample | Example project showing how to interact with the Petduinos buttons. |
| LdrExample | Example of reading the Petduinos light level (LDR) sensor. |
| TemperatureExample | Example of how to read the temperature from your Petduino. |
| ScrollingText | Example of how to turn your Petduino into a scrolling text display. |
| TheEye | Aadvanced example showing how to render dynamic grphics to the Petduinos display. |
| Pets | A collection of simple pet face to give your Petduino instant personality and a starting point to add your own stamp. Incorporating animations, sounds and button inteactions. |
| Games | A collection of games to show how you can do more with your Petduino than just animations. |
| Instruments | A collection of musical instrument examples for the Petduino. |
