Right now, I’m working on getting my new micro controllers up and running.
The desktop toy platform I’m creating will be powered by a Spark Core. The idea is to create a platform for multiple work toys [toys that help people think and work]. Each of the work toys will have a designated space on the platform with an associated “button” made from copper tape. The bottoms of the objects will “press” the button when they are in their “put away” state. When the objects are removed, the buttons will unpress and send data to a Google Spreadsheet.
My first step towards prototyping this idea was to set the Spark Core up with a regular button. I made this circuit so that while the button is pressed, the onboard LED turns on.
Right now the code on the Spark Core just controls the onboard LED. My next step is to incorporate some Temboo code that allows me to write the data to a spreadsheet.
