Mute and light controller for the Rack box — AVR module

Controlling mute and lights in the rack box project. Uses an AVR ATtiny2313 microcontroller.

Details

This simple controller takes care of a few small tasks in the Rack box. It controls the system mute function, the lights inside, and the door sensor of the Rack box.

When the door is opened the light turns on automatically, and stays on for five minutes. The light can also be turned on manually with a switch, the light is then active for 30 minutes, or until the door is closed. Door N.O and N.C signals is made available for other modules.

Mute

When system mute (quiet mode) is active, sound alarms and the stack light is deactivated. Errors are only shown in Serial Client and on the Rack status panel. Mute can be enabled manually or with the computer, using the Serial I/O system. A timer automatically enabled the system mute at night.

On weekdays; mute is activated at 11 PM and deactivated at 9 AM. In the weekend; it is activated at 1 AM and deactivated 11 AM.
