The Enigma Automatic Programming
The Control Panel.
The core of this panel is the esp32 processor, with Arduino type motherboard.Blue Tooth and
Wi Fi Facilities plus a SD card holder The control panel has a touch screen digital display -
3.2 inch 320*240 SPI Serial TFT LCD Module Display Screen with Touch Panel Driver IC
ILI9341. A selection Joystick and Play button is included
The Home screen allows you to navigate to various applications, all to be saved on a Time
Line. plus a facility to insert a pause of the sequence that can be restarted with a remote
controller
Screen One
Servo control.
5 servos can be individually be programed for both direction and speed. A
tweening option is included for ultra smooth operation. The Enigma send option uploads the
programmed animation directly by wi fi to the master Servo Boggler and any slave bogglers
that are selected
Screen Two
Electric Motors.
Control the speed and direction of up to 2 electric motors via the Motor
Boggler, more can be added on special order.
Screen Three
Media Player.
Play media files either by blue tooth direct to blutooth speaker or by cable to
sound system or projector
Screen Four
Switch On and Off control
.
Turns devices On and Off Using remote control or pre programmed On and Off points on the
time line
Remote Control
This unit with self contained battery included, pauses the animation of all bogglers and upon
re pressing starts the animation at the same place as it was paused.
This is ideal for sound files, if you have an organized and scripted performance you can pause
the time line immediately after an animation sequence of your choice, or have this pause pre
programmed , and then when you want the sound file to play release the pause and the sound
will play, you can then insert a pause and on releasing the pause the next sound on the time
line will play. So easy no need to fumble with menu buttons. If you want animations or apps
can be started at same time, for instance your talking owl can flap its wings and hoot at the
time you choose, should something unforeseen occur, you can pause the animation and
restart when the interruption is over from where you left off
Saving Animated Sequences
Once you have constructed your sequence you can save and then send to the bogglers via wi
fi. Up until saving you can change any animation. You can name your completed sequences
for instance Childrens show Short, and save this on the built in sd card, thus before any
performance you just load the bogglers with the required animation for the performances
.
Programming Multiple Robots or Apps to
operate at the same time
Y
ou might want two robots or more to operate in Synchronization. This is possible by
selecting the appropriate bogglers and coordinating them on the time line the same applies to all
apps.
BOGLERS
The bogglers are mini devices that control apps and servers
these Bogglers are mini computers that hold the programed time line details that you have
send to them by wi fi from the Enigma Control Unit.They are all individually powered, and
operate either wirelessly or as in the media boggler via blue tooth to a blue tooth speaker or
projector. or alternatively by usb cable to the sound system or projector
Media Boggler
Sound ,Video or Photo files
These files can be stored on a removable sd card on the media boggler or master Boggler
and given a name that can be used when programming a sequence, the files can be
uploaded via usb connection from your computer
Electric Motor Boggler
This Boggler controls small electric motors, Fwd and reverse and speed. Each Boggler
coordinates its operation with the Timeline sequence. Two motors an be connected to each
Boggler. For larger motors a separate battery source is required. for smaller motors the
battery powering the Boggler is ok
ON OFF Boggler
This Boggler allows you to control items such as flash pots, card fountains, in fact anything
portable that switches on and off using its own power, multiple items can be attached to a
single boggler
Master Servo Control Boggler
Up to 5 Servos can be attached to this boggler
to operate a single robot, additional robots can be operated in tandem using a duplicate
Servo Boggler. Should you want to add more servos we can quote for adapting the Enigma
programming program and supplying an extension servo leads connection pins unit.
Additional Information
On completion of
your animation sequences, tthey are uploaded to the Bogglers using the
send button on the Enigma Programmer. This sequence can be named and saved on the built
in SD card or sent to a file on your computer. Thus you can have many saved sequences to
choose from, maybe a short close up performance or a full children’s show. This Program is
based on C++ and can be uploaded to your computer where you can view it as scrip coding.
this can be fine tuned and uploaded back to the Bogglers. The great advantage of his facility
is your ability to be able to create a unique learning experience where your students can see
in real time the actions of programing and controlling robots
This all sounds complicated, but in fact Enigma allows anybody without programing
knowledge to construct a program in real time, as you program your robots animations your
robot moves in tandem with your instructions and the animation can be fine tuned on the go,
when you are happy with the completed sequence, you save it via the in built wi fi to the
Bogglers. Check it out before saving by pressing “Play” on the Enigma programmer. When
you are satisfied with the sequence all is ready for your performance, make sure that at the
start of the time line you have inserted a pause command and then all you have to do to start
the show is press the pause pause button and the sequence will start its that simple
