1. Playstation Cafe Switching Control
Our graduation project is about making on/off switching on HDMI cable between monitor and a
playstation.Furthermore,itincludes a software program installed on PC to keep all the controls for
each table like (price, orders, active or inactive, ect).
The graduation project of ours can be separated at two main part as software and hardware. The
first one is hardware part. Hardware of the project consist of multiple components. The hardware
has twodesigneddevices with using nano arduino as a microcontroller. The first device of these is
called server device which is located on USB port of PC. The interface which is coded in C#
programminglanguage isdetectedserverdesigneddevice.Thisallow ustouse the interface to send
a signal overRF module integratedonserverdevice.Thissignal is received by client device which is
located on hdmi cable between monitor and playstation. After receiving the signal, the software
embeddedinthe clientdevice decide whether switch on or off. And send feedback signal to server
device about the action it took. Both designed device can be seen below.
Server Device Client Device
The secondmain part of project is software. It is used two programming language. C# is the one for
PC main interface. As it mentioned above The interface help the user to control the switching
process. Besides , this interface keep the multiple data which can be use for future reference like
total earnings,the cost , netprofit,howmany products sold for each , ect. The other programming
language is Arduino programming language which is used to programme the nano arduino.
This project intends to solve some problems for playstation cafes. The main problems are lined up
below:
*Remotely switch on &off
*The price for each desk is calculated by software installed on PC
*To allow the owner to create a account for some user who comes often to cafe.
*The statistics as weekly ,monthly or yearly.
*To prevent these statistics to be accessed by others.
