Hello, My name is Wayne and I want to build a carnival game. The object of the game is to shoot a rubber chicken with compressed air at a target. The program would follow the following steps.
1. Operator will depress the “arming switch” switch #1 to an input pin to start the launch sequence program. I have a push button and a SD MP3 module for the pre-launch music. Relay #1 will turn on lights.
2. The player will press switch #2 that will act as a trigger to a second imput pin. This subprogram will trigger sound effects and #2 solenoid to open an air valve for 1 second to shoot the rubber chicken. I need a delay to prevent additional switch depressions from re-releasing the air valve (to conserve air pressure capacity).
The arming switch is for safety. The operator must be out of the way before the trigger can launch the rubber chicken.
I have been reading the PIXAXE books and watched many videos. I purchased a starter kit from Ebay with a 20M2 with a breadboard and download cable. I have done the practice projects provided. The SD reader is a MDFly mp3 player and I have a two solenoid board. All run on 5volts. I hope to run the board with a USB 2A wal-wart.
I hope you can help. This is my first project. I have the parts but don't know how to connect the SD mp3 (two sound files) or the solenoids.
