How to connect all sensors and module cables to the sensor shield?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Most of the sensors, LEDs, switchs and others have a cable with 3 connections, they are ground (negative), voltage (positive, normally 5V) and signal. The sensor shield has male connections for this 3 positions, for many connections. So, you must be careful to connect the sensor in the right position, respection the negative/signal position. The sensor shield have numbers for these connections, and these numbers on most shield boards match the arduino pins, so look the schematic to see what pins is the sensor connected to. Please contact the manufacturer for details and more information - wiki.keyestudio.com/KS5009_Keyestudio_Smart_Home

I am considering buying such sets for my vocational school class. Is it easy to disassemble and reuse them after use?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

yes, it is not hard. But with the constant assembly and disassembly process, the wooden parts will probably suffer damage. My suggestion would be to make new wooden parts or design these parts and 3D print them.

My gears for both the window and the door are raised up when mounted on the servo and not nearly flush enough. Thus they miss the other gear they are supposed to interact with (too high for them). I have watched all the instructions over and over again and redone this to be sure they are assembled as in the directions and in your video for that matter. Any thoughts?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

I took a picture but I am not sure how to send it to you. The servo horn must be on the opposite side of the servo, so the gear will be closer to the servo then the servo horn.

[@jamesc8453]

@@HendrikxWorkshop Thanks for the reply! I did all that and an email from Keyes support noted I had actually used the wrong screw from them the servo plastic bag (of course the only screws not labeled in the kit). All that said the gears on the window and door still don't actually line up with each other. It's also looks like the "house stock material" I got looks way thinner and way flimsier that what you show in your video. Through my OCD and the creative use of some spacers I was able to get the window and door gears to work. I had no problem with anything else, the Sensors and the Arduino portion were straight forward. IMHO this smart home project is a great idea that could have been so much more if it would have been a bit better executed. As it is now it is a bit tedious and my kids lost interest leaving me on it alone in the end.

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Yes I agree. But you can use arduino, components and sensors to assemble something else. Check out my animatronic videos. 3D files are available for free. I would suggest the cupcake - kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5fLo5lqlJysf68, you can use the servos, LEDs to program movements and lights, it can be activated with the sensors. this will attract your kids attention.

[@jamesc8453]

@@HendrikxWorkshop Yes the sensors/parts themselves are a nice assortment. Your video is quite the little project very nice! Perhaps Keyestudio should also give the the 3D files tome the house.

Hi! I dont know why the app and the bluetooth mode it doesnt work for me... Can u help me?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Hi Pauete! Check the bluetooth connections. Try to use a different cell phone.

[@Pauete_Kkhuete]

@@HendrikxWorkshop Okay! I will try it, when i use Arduino all the leds works but maybe the wires are connected of the setback...

At the final project I have uploaded the codes, and tried to input the password, (by pushing the button as password was identified in the codes, ) but it the was not successful and buzzer was beeping all the time. Pushing the button nothing happened, LCD screen did not change. Please let me know, what to do.

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Hello Agnes! Have you typed the code or copy/past? I would recommend to copy paste to avoid typos. Have you selected the right arduino model?

[@agnesszabo9438]

@@HendrikxWorkshop I have copy pasted the codes of the final project to the arduino software. The problem is, that the LCD Display do not show anything, when I input the password by the button1. In your video this step is at 8:30 - 8:40 Do you have maybe a testcode for this step (input something by the button, and LCD display write it)? If yes, I will provide my e-mail address.

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

I would recommend to perform the project 4 in order to test the button and project 12 to test the display. If it doesn´t work, let me know and I create a test code to test button and lcd.

[@agnesszabo9438]

@@HendrikxWorkshop Hi, I have tested Project 4 and Project 12 as well. They are working fine. I would like to test the LCD Display showing signs inputed by Button. Please send me the code to the following e-mail address: [e-mail] Here is my project now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6LRaX-hfK-BqaM

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Are you externally powering the arduino board? or only using the computer usb? what voltage are you using?

[@MrDefaut]

hola amigo podias ayudarme no doi puesto en marcha nada me pone Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

[@nicholas3840]

ive followed all of the instructions and after plugging it in, all that happens is the buzzer going off + the lcd turning on. when i also connect to the app, nothing works. plz help me cuz i have a project due next week

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Try a different power supply

[@juricanovak355]

I have a problem. 4 days ago i assembled the kit and everything was working fine until i tried to test it again. Now my buzzer is bepping every 2 seconds and LCD display is on, but i cant do anything else. Can you help me somehow?

Try to replace the batteries

Use a different device to connect

@@Pauete_Kkhuete great! I am glad that it is working now. If some devices are not working, check the connections.

Is fist projects are necessary or I can start assembling the whole home ?

You can start the all home

Hello! I have a problem. My Bluetooth isn't connecting to my phone app. I can see It in the Bluetooth navigation. Any suggestions on what to do?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Hi Alen, is the bluetooth module correctly installed? Have you loaded the correct arduino code?

[@wassimsoualili7153]

Can we use battery 9v ?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Hi Wassim! Yes, I use an external 9V power supply. The only problem I see is that the battery won't last long.

@@HendrikxWorkshop hello bro i have question about this Note Note: Remove the Bluetooth module please, when uploading the test code. Otherwise, the program will fail to upload. Connect the Bluetooth and Bluetooth module to pair after uploading the test code. Does this mean that I do not prove bluetooth module in shield sensor until the end of the program ?

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

Hi Wassim! yes, first remove the bluetooth module, then upload the test code successfully, insert the Bluetooth module and power on.

good morning , It's my first project I'm doing and I'm excited! The house is assembled, I see this error on the monitor: 3.3VL error what could it depend on? second question, when I load the "Multipurpose Smart Home Kit - Test Code" on arduino, library missing error comes out: LiquidCrystal_I2C I loaded several liquidcrystal libraries but it doesn't work 🙁 third question, I can't find home kit on bluetooth from smartphone thank you so much

[@HendrikxWorkshop]

my sugestion is to review all connections and program code. Try to reload a diferent LiquidCrystal library. 3.3VL error is probably related to 3,3volts, check the power supply.
