Started to write the real software. All previous software was just about testing hardware. I'm now writing the application as I want the application, re-using the previous test classes.
Looking nice ! Keyboard is working; i'm able to make the difference between short and long keypresses. Accuracy of the MPR121 is actually (after some tweaking) very good.
Connected the light to the keyboard events; i'm now able to control the (RGB) Leds; PWM dimming !
Radio (FMReceiver and Amplifier) is also connected to these keyboard events. Coded some shortcuts, but i'm able to control the volume of the amplifier.
Next:
- Add more features to the Light: slow startup of the light intensity (wakeup with light). Manual power on and off; make it less abrupt (need some sort of fast dimm off, dimm on.
- Clean-up the radio & amplifier code
- Connecting the display classes ...
- Actual writing the alarm settings & processing....
- ....
