Hardware

  • An Arch board
  • A basket of fruit
  • A computer with AC power
  • some wires

Software

  1. Click this link to import the program to mbed online compiler.
  2. Compile the code and download the binary file - Fruit_Piano_LPC11U24.bin.
  3. Connect the Arch board to the computer and long press the button, a USB drive named CRP DISABLD will pop up.
  4. Delete firmware.bin and copy Arch_GPIO_Ex1_LPC11U24.bin to the USB drive.
  5. Quick press the button to run the program
  6. Wire some apples or bananas to A0 - A5 (P0_11 - P0_14, P0_16, P0_22) pins of the Arch board
  7. Open Fruit Piano and play

Have fun!
