I made a ramen timer with NINTENDO LABO


Looking at the ramen timer created on the Toy-Con garage on the editing screen looks like this. There are dozens of lines and panels intersecting and it seems to be very complex.


If you look closely, the white panel on the top flashes with constant rhythm.


When you enlarge the part where the upper glowing panels line up, the panel7 segment displayIt is clear that three colon pairs are lined up.


If you turn off the circuit diagram, it will be a timer like this. Time is 2 minutes and 48 seconds (2:48).


As the number displayed every second increases, ...


Just three minutes, the sound "POW" sounded. It is perfect for a timer for cup ramen, which is often completed in 3 minutes by pouring hot water.


How did you make a ramen timer with the Toy-Con garage?


As a rough structure, there is a clock circuit that counts the number of seconds in the part surrounded by the red frame on the left side, and the part surrounded by the blue frame on the right side is a counter that counts the number and the input numeral To the display of 7 segment display. Surrounded by a green frame at the top is a 7 segment display that displays numbers. You can see that the lines connecting the inputs and the outputs are stretched with regularity.


Regarding the clock, "timer" which counts 1 second ... ...


By combining "NOT" and "Hikaru" panels, it is possible to create a clock that blinks every second.


Adjust the timer setting and change the clock frequency ......


You can also make a clock that flickers the "Hikaru" panel at any interval.


Next, commentary explanation.


It is the clock that I explained earlier that is made on the left side of the counter.


When connecting the clock and the counter, you can make a counter that increases the number according to the frequency of the clock.


Set the output range of the counter on the left side to only "10" ...


Connect a timer with zero clock frequency to the counter on the left and connect it from the counter on the left side to the counter on the right side.


By doing this, the counter on the left side counts one digit number, and the counter on which the counter on the right side increases will be completed every time the counter on the left side counts ten.


Next is the explanation of the decoder.


The decoder is a mechanism to display the number counted by the counter on the 7 segment display. First, specify the number you want to decode as a range. For this time, designate "0" as the range ...


Connected with "Hikaru" panel.


When the counter is "0", the panel glows.


After that, it is OK if you decode the decoder when the range is "1" and the decoder at the time of "2" in the same way.


In the 7 segment display, slender the "Hikaru" panel and place it in 7 segment positions.


By connecting the panel you want to output with the "Hikaru" panel, the 7 segment display is completed.


After that, properly connecting timer, counter, decoder, 7 segment display, and ramen timer will be completed. The ramen timer was made at first glance but it was made with a simple mechanism basically, making it a making movie that makes you feel the possibility of Toy - Con garage.
