Hardware Specification

An EduBuzzer contains an ATMega328 connected to:

  • 4 buttons in distinct colours (red / blue / green / yelow)
  • 4 LEDs matching the buttons
  • an RGB LED
  • a piezo buzzer
  • a 1-wire interface for authentication buttons (iButton)
  • an RF transceiver (RFM12B 868MHz model)
  • a 9V block battery and a power switch

For ease of development and as to make an EduBuzzer expandable to an EduBuzzer base station, a serial line is exposed for connection with an "FTDI cable" -- power supply, RX/TX, reset button. Thus, the devices can be flashed using a bootloader.

The design takes care to stay compatible with the Arduino even if not Arduino is used in the final version. Thus, prototypes can be built on Arduino shields as well.

PCB

Build edubuzzer.gif

The PCBs are described as Eagle files in the project repository in the hardware directory in buzzer.{brd,sch}. It is routed on two sides and has three big holes for mounting inside the EduBuzzer.

For prototypes based on an Arduino, a reduced wiring scheme is described in hardware/arduino_schield.sch, which can be reproduced on an Arduino prototyping shield or a custom shield described in hardware/arduino_schield.brd. Those devices won't fit in the cases, apart from that, are fully usable as well.

For further information, read the building documentation.

Part list

This describes all the electronic parts required for completing the buzzer shield. Parts not needed in combination with an Arduino have their count as the second one in the Amount column. The Bauteilsortiment column refers to where you can find them in the metalab's parts repository.
