Dealing with this same situation with my class. I have a ton of sensors and a ton of students. I am trying to simplifying how to setup a sensor, the .ino .h .cpp files. Digital and Analog sensors are fairly easy but I2C, uArt and SPI take a bit of coordination of several files.
Here is a list of my RobotShop sensors and I probably have the same number from Seeedstudio
I am thinking of making a database on my website (http://rocksetta.com ) that anyone could upload sensor info and links or using a github site such as: https://github.com/hpssjellis/robotics-sensors that my students can push solutions for the sensors they are working on. Either setup would probably just have a bunch of links to @peekay123 github site at https://github.com/pkourany
I find the student’s need a sheet of paper stored with each sensor with this minimum amount of information:
- Title with sensors full name
- Image of sensor
- Link to more information about hooking up example.ino files, header files, etc
- QRCode to the link
- Summary info about how to hook the Sensor up to the Photon
The following fits in a sandwich bag with the sensor.
The example link in the image is https://github.com/hpssjellis/robotics-sensors/tree/master/sensors/serial/pixy
.
Anyone got any other ideas?
