Multimedia Center at Arduino UNO
In this article I want to talk about how to build a fairly advanced, inexpensive multimedia center using the Arduino UNO board ( http://www.arduino.cc ). The center executed according to this scheme can be useful in various tasks, for example, in a “smart home”.
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 micron. The platform has 14 digital inputs / outputs (6 of which can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connector, a power connector, an ICSP connector and a reset button. To create a multimedia center, in addition to the Arduino UNO board, we need a personal computer running Windows 7.
We connect Arduino via USB to a personal computer. We connect the PC to the Internet with a speed of more than 10 Mbps. We install on the PC a set of multimedia codecs, for example, K-Lite codec pack , a modern browser, for example, Google Chrome . Do not forget about a good audio system.
For initial testing, you can use the videos from the U-tube website . After setting up the network and checking the sound, the Arduino UNO board can be disconnected from the PC.
Now we have a convenient multifunctional multimedia platform.
