Pre-class

  • Learning sensor – Photoresistor

    1. Build a physical circuit below
    2. Components
      1. 220 Ohms – for LED
      2. 5k1 Ohms for Photoresistor
    4. Write the codes on Arduino
    6. Upload and test it
    7. Keep this circuit and source codes. We will use them in the class.

In-class

  • Learning sensor – Photoresistor

    1. Using the Arduino photoresistor built in the pre-class, change the amount of light goes to Photoresistor and see what happens.
    4. Open Serial Monitor on Arduino [Tools] – [Serial Monitor]
    7. Your reflections
      1. In Arduino programming, how can you trace data flow while running it?
      2. How did this example get input signal? Analog? Why?

  • An application of Photoresistor, Light Detector

    1. Project Goal: Make a light detector that turns on LED in the dark and turn off when it  is bright.
    2. Use the same circuit from the previous Photoresistor example.
    3. Change the previous codes to achieve the project goal. You can follow following steps to make your codes.
      1. Read the sensor value. => sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
      2. Compare if the sensorValue is greater 200. => if (sensorValue > 200)
      3. If yes, it means it is bright. Then turn off the LED => digitalWrite (13, LOW);
      4. if no, it means it is dark. Then, turn on the LED => digitalWrite (13, HIGH);
      5. wait 0.1 seconds => delay(100);
    4. Sample codes
      1. int sensorValue = 0;void setup()
        {
        pinMode(A0, INPUT);
        Serial.begin(9600);pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
        }void loop()
        {
        // read the value from the sensor
        sensorValue = analogRead(A0);
        // print the sensor reading so you know its range
        Serial.println(sensorValue);
        // map the sensor reading to a range for the LED
        //analogWrite(9, map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255));
        if (sensorValue > 200)
        digitalWrite(13, LOW);
        else
        digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
        delay(100); // Wait for 100 millisecond(s)
        }
    5. Run your Arduino and see what happens
    7. Your reflections
      1. Explain the codes you used.
      2. If you want to change the sensitivity of the photo sensor, what parts of the codes do you need to change?
      3. How can you apply this technique into real-world problem-solving?

        pinMode(trig,OUTPUT);
        pinMode(echo,INPUT);
        Serial.begin(9600);
        servo.attach(3);

        delay(1);
        }
        delay(100);
        }
        }//This code is written to calculate the DISTANCE using ULTRASONIC SENSORint calc_dis()
        {
        int duration,distance;
        digitalWrite(trig,HIGH);
        delay(dt);
        digitalWrite(trig,LOW);
        duration=pulseIn(echo,HIGH);
        distance = (duration/2) / 29.1;
        Serial.println((String) “Duration: ” + duration + ” Distance: ” + distance);
