After the above steps are done, let’s do a test on lower water level and check what happens:
The LED can’t light up when water level haven’t reach alarm value;
The LED turns on and released an alarm when water level reaches alarm value;

Project 18: Soil Humidity Sensor

Introduction:
This is a simple soil humidity sensor aims to detect the soil humidity. If the soil is in lack of water, the analog value output by the sensor will decrease, otherwise, it will increase. If you use this sensor to make an automatic watering device, it can detect whether your botany is thirsty to prevent it from withering when you go out. Using the sensor with Arduino controller makes your plant more comfortable and your garden smarter.
The soil humidity sensor module is not as complicated as you might think, and if you need to detect the soil in your project , it will be your best choice.
The sensor is set with two probes inserted into the soil, then with the current go through the soil, the sensor will get resistance value by reading the current changes between the two probes and convert such resistance value into moisture content. The higher moisture (less resistance), the higher conductivity the soil has.
The surface of the sensor have undergone metallization process to prolong its service life. Insert it into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind you: I need water.

Specification:

• Power Supply Voltage: 3.3V or 5V
• Working Current: ≤ 20mA
• Output Voltage: 0-2.3V (When the sensor is totally immersed in water, the
• voltage will be 2.3V) 5V power supply，the higher humidity, the higher the output voltage
• Packaging : Electrostatic bag sealing
• Sensor type: Analog output
• Interface definition: Pin1- signal, pin2- GND, pin3 - VCC
• Service life: About one year (gold-plated surface for enhancing conductivity and corrosion resistance )
• Module size: 20X60mm

Project 19: Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor

Introduction:
Infrared obstacle avoidance sensor is equipped with distance adjustment function and is especially designed for wheeled robots. This sensor has strong adaptability to ambient light and is of high precision. It has a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving tube.

We can adjust the detection distance through the potentiometer knob ( effective distance: 2～40cm, working Voltage: 3.3V-5V ). Thanks to a wide voltage range, this sensor can work steadily even under fluctuating power supply voltage and is suitable for the use of various micro-controllers, Arduino controllers and BS2 controllers.

Project 28: Pulse Rate Monitor

Introduction:
This module uses a ultra-bright infrared (IR) LED and a phototransistor to detect the pulse in your finger. The red LED then flashes in time with your pulse.
Working principle: Shine the bright LED onto one side of your finger while the phototransistor on the other side of your finger picks up the amount of transmitted light. The resistance of the phototransistor will vary slightly as the blood pulses through your finger.

Connection Diagram:

Sample Code:
The program for this project is quite tricky to get right. Indeed, the first step is not to run the entire final script, but rather a test script that will gather data that we can then paste into a spreadsheet and chart to test out the smoothing algorithm (more on this later).
The test script is provided in Listing Project 12.

int ledPin = 13;
int sensorPin = 0;
double alpha = 0.75;
int period = 20;
double change = 0.0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop()
{
static double oldValue = 0;
static double oldChange = 0;
int rawValue =
analogRead(sensorPin);
double value = alpha * oldValue
+ (1 - alpha) * rawValue;
Serial.print(rawValue);
Serial.print(“,”);
Serial.println(value);
oldValue = value;
delay(period);
}

This script reads the raw signal from the analog input and applies the smoothing function and then writes both values to the Serial Monitor, where we can capture them and paste them into a spreadsheet for analysis. Note that the Serial Monitor’scommunications is set to its fastest rate to minimize the effects of the delays caused by sending the data. When you start the Serial Monitor, you will need to change the serial speed to 115200 baud.
Copy and paste the captured text into a spreadsheet. The resultant data and a line chart drawn from the two columns are shown in Figure 5-17. The more jagged trace is from the raw data read from the analog port, and the smoother trace clearly has most of the noise removed. If the smoothed trace shows significant noise—in particular, any false peaks that will confuse the monitor—increase the level of smoothing by decreasing the value of alpha.
Once you have found the right value of alpha for your sensor arrangement, you can transfer this value into the real sketch and switch over to using the real sketch rather than the test sketch. The real sketch is provided in the following listing on the next page.

int ledPin = 13;
int sensorPin = 0;
double alpha = 0.75;
int period = 20;
double change = 0.0;
void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
Serial.begin(115200);
}
void loop()
{
static double oldValue = 0;
static double oldChange = 0;
int rawValue =
analogRead(sensorPin);
double value = alpha * oldValue
+ (1 - alpha) * rawValue;
Serial.print(rawValue);
Serial.print(“,”);
Serial.println(value);
oldValue = value;
delay(period);
}

LISTING PROJECT 12—TEST SCRIPT There now just remains the problem of detecting the peaks. Looking at Figure 5-17, we can see that if we keep track of the previous reading, we can see that the readings are gradually increasing until the change in reading flips over and becomes negative. So, if we lit the LED whenever the old change was positive but the new change was negative, we would get a brief pulse from the LED at the peak of each pulse. Putting It All Together Both the test and real sketch for Project 12 are in your Arduino Sketchbook. For instructions on downloading it to the board, see Chapter 1.
As mentioned, getting this project to work is a little tricky. You will probably find that you have to get your finger in just the right place to start getting a pulse. If you are having trouble, run the test script as described previously to check that your detector is getting a pulse and the smoothing factor alpha is low enough.

Project 29: Reed Switch Module

Introduction:
Reed Switch is a special switch and a main component for reed relay and proximity switch. Reed switch is usually comprised of two soft magnetic material and metal reed contacts which will disconnect itself when there is no magnetic. In addition, some reed switches are also equipped with another reed acting as the third normally-closed contact. These reed contacts are encapsulated in a glass tube full of inert gases(such as nitrogen and helium) or in a vacuum glass tube. The reeds encapsulated in the glass tube are placed in parallel with ends overlapped. Certain amount of space or mutual contaction will be reserved so as to constitute the normally-open or normally-closed contacts of the switch.
Reed switch can be used as sensor for count, limit and other purposes. For instance, a kind of bike-kilometer is constituted by sticking magnetic to the tire and mounting reed switch aside. We can mount reed switch on the door for alarming purpose or as switches.
Reed switch has been widely applied in household appliances, cars, communication, industry, healthcare and security areas. Furthermore, it can also be applied to other sensors and electric devices such as liquidometer, door magnet, reed relay, oil level sensor and proximity sensor(magnetic sensor). It can be used under high-risk environment.

Specification:

• Working voltage: DC 3.3V-5V

void loop()
{
val=digitalRead(buttonpin);// read and assign the value of digital interface 3 to val if(val==HIGH)//When a signal is detected by magnetic ring sensor, LED will flash

Project 30: TEMT6000 ambient light sensor

Introduction:
At some point you are going to want to sense ambient brightness with better precision than your trusty photoresistor without adding complexity to your project. When that day comes, go get yourself a TEMT6000 ambient light sensor.
The TEMT6000 is supposed to be adapted to the sensitivity of the human eye, but I found it preformed sub-par in low light conditions. It does however work very well reacting to very small changes in a large range of brightnesses. Because it is meant to mimic the human eye, it does not react well to IR or UV light, so just make sure to note that when considering using it in your project.

Specification:

• Supply Voltage: +5VDC 50mA
• Size: 36.5*16mm
• Weight: 4g

Connection Diagram:
This is an incredibly simple part, just connect power and ground, and the signal pin to your favorite analog input and you are done, the sensor will output analog voltage, that ramps up when it gets brighter. You can power this off of 3.3v if you would like, the output value will just be lower.

Sample Code:
You can not get more simple than this – This just reports the reading from the sensor to the serial terminal: 0-1023 with 1023 being very bright, and 0 being very dark.

int temt6000Pin = 0;
void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
 int value = analogRead(temt6000Pin);
 Serial.println(value);
 delay(100); //only here to slow down the output so it is easier to read
}
