Making the GENIE 2
2
Switch on the soldering iron. It will only take a
few minutes for the iron to reach operating
temperature. Once the soldering iron is hot,
clean the soldering iron tip with a moist sponge.
Melt some solder at the chamfered end of the
soldering iron tip. This is called ‘tinning’ and it
will aid the flow of solder from the soldering
iron to the copper track on the printed circuit
board and component pins.
Fit each component onto the board. When
fitting components such as resistors, you should
use long-nosed pliers to bend the legs through
90 degrees. This will make them easier to fit.
Some of the components need to be fitted the
correct way around:
®The 8-pin GENIE microcontroller should be
positioned so that the notch points towards
the download socket and the dot next to pin
1 is at the same corner as the ‘1’ shown on the
board.
®The LEDs should be fitted so that the flat
edges on the LEDs line up with the flat edges
shown on the board.
To solder a pin, hold the soldering iron onto the
board for a few seconds, then quickly touch the
tip with a small amount of solder.
When using uncased sounders, you should solder
the sounders to the two points marked P
P1 1(for
the right-hand sounder) and P
P2 2(for the left-hand
sounder) respectively.
You should always remember to replace the
soldering iron back into
the stand after soldering
and repeat cleaning the
tip of the iron with the
moist sponge before the
start of each soldering
operation.
Finally,
cut off any
excess wire or
component legs
for a tidy finish.

For your project to work, you need to tell the GENIE microcontroller what it should do.
This involves writing a sequence of commands in a f
fl lo ow wc ch ha ar rt t. Your flowchart is then sent down the
cable and stored on the GENIE chip. By changing the flowchart, you can vary how the GENIE behaves.
First of all, you need to tell GENIE which type of chip you are using. To do this,
click on the M
Mi ic cr ro oc co on nt tr ro ol ll le er rbutton on the toolbar and choose P Pr ro og gr ra am mS Se et tt ti in ng gs s.
Select an 8-pin G

which inputs and outputs you need. Click
on O
OK Kwhen you are ready.
Á

You can now decide which commands you
want your GENIE to perform. To do this,
drag commands from the G

GENIE microcontrollers can play musical tunes in
which more than one notes plays at the same
time. These are known as s
st te er re eo otunes.

Some types of input signal, such as push switches,
can only be either on or off. These are known as
d
di ig gi it ta al lsignals.
Use the D
DI IG GI IT TA AL Lcommand to
respond to a digital signals.
Use the T
TU UN NE Ecommand to
play a musical tune.
The DIGITAL command allows you to make a
decision based on whether a digital signal is
either on (pressed) or off (not pressed).
When a digital signal is on, it has the value ‘1
1’
whereas when it is off, it has the value ‘0
0’.
Double-click on the command to select which
digital inputs you wish to check. GENIE will
follow the ‘Y
Y’ (yes) path when the digital signal
matches the chosen pattern, otherwise it will
follow the ‘N
N’ (no) path.
The above pattern will test if the push switch on
digital input G3 is on (pressed). Y
ou can see
below how to use this to command play a tune
whenever the switch is pressed:
First, double-click on the TUNE command and
select the select the ‘S
St te er re eo o’ option. Next, choose
the tune you wish to play from the T
Tu un ne elist (tip:
you can click Play to listen to it!).
Finally, you need to choose two outputs for
music and one for each LED. To do this, click on
signals 1
1and 2 2until the yellow note icon
appears. Next, click on signals 0
0and 4 4until the
orange LED icon appears.
When placed in a flowchart, it could look like:

Once you have written your flowchart program,
you need to store it on the GENIE chip. Here’s
how you do it:
1
1Wire-up the built GENIE circuit board and
connect up a suitable battery power supply.
2
2Plug the GENIE cable into the download
socket on the GENIE circuit board.
3
3Once done, the P Pr ro og gr ra am mpanel in the
software will then show a ‘Connected’
message (see picture a).

If you are unable to connect to a GENIE microcontroller or download a program, you should go
through the following troubleshooting hints and tips.
R

The GENIE troubleshooter will automatically
check your cable and software to ensure that
the computer can access the GENIE cable.
To run the GENIE troubleshooter, choose

the Circuit Wizard or GENIE software.
If that option is not shown in your version of

• Circuit Wizard, GENIE Design Studio and the GENIE Programming Editor software all check
and report problems involving the cable. If given, follow through on the on-screen advice.
• Unplug the cable, wait a few seconds and then plug it back in. Windows can occasionally fail
to detect that a cable has been inserted.
P
Po ow we er r
• Check that the voltage of the battery is sufficient. For this board, the battery voltage should
be in the range of 3 volts to 5 volts.
• Check the voltage level across the power connections (+V and 0V) on the board. This can
identify if there is a problem with the battery clip or battery holder. Ensure that the wiring
has not become loose and the batteries are properly seated in the holder.
C
Ci ir rc cu ui it t
• Try plugging the cable into another GENIE board if you have one available. When powering
up this circuit, the green STATUS LED should flash once (when properly connected it will flash
repeatedly).
• Try with another GENIE microcontroller if possible.
• Visually inspect the board for bad solder joints or cases where soldering has incorrectly
bridged pins together. Note that for the download socket, the two left-most pins should be
connected together, as should the two right-most pins.

The four large holes in the corners of
the PCB (indicated by the arrows) are
designed for mounting. They have a
diameter of 3mm, suitable for use
with M3-sized screws.
The two large holes located at the
top-left of the PCB are of the same
size but are instead intended to act as
strain-relief holes for an off-board
battery clip.
If using uncased piezo sounders, you
can use the two large holes located at
the centre-bottom of the PCB for the
component wires.
