Project 2: LED Breathe

Description

In this project, we will control the red LED brightness via PWM.
In the previous course, we introduced how to control the yellow LED on and off by code. Similarly, you can change the step length and delay in the code to set the red LED to achieve different breathing effects.

PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.In general, the input voltage of port are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or what if switch among 1V,3V and 3.5V? We can’t change resistor constantly. For this situation, we need to control by PWM.
For the Arduino digital port voltage output, there are only LOW and HIGH, which correspond to the voltage output of 0V and 5V. You can define LOW as 0 and HIGH as 1, and let the Arduino output 500 0 or 1 signals within 1 second.

The output port is 2.5V, which is like showing movie. The movie we watch are not completely continuous. It actually outputs 25 pictures per second. In this case, the human can’t tell it. So does PWM. If want different voltage, need to control the ratio of 0 and 1. The more 0,1 signals output per unit time, the more accurate the control.

In the following figure, the green line represents a period, and its value is the reciprocal of the PWM frequency. In other words, if the frequency of the Arduino PWM is 500 Hz, then the period between the two green lines is 2 ms. The range that can be manipulated in the analogWrite () command is 0-255, analogWrite (255) means 100% duty cycle (normally open), and analogWrite (127) duty cycle is about 50% (half the time).

Project 5：1-channel Relay Module

Description

This module is an arduino dedicated module, and compatible with arduino sensor expansion board. It has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop). Commonly used in automatic control circuits, it is an "automatic switch" for high voltage which control a larger current and a lower voltage with a smaller current and a lower voltage.

Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and conversion circuit in the circuit. It allows Arduino to drive loads below 3A, such as LED light strips, DC motors, miniature water pumps, solenoid valve pluggable interface.

图大号文字

The main internal components of the electromagnetic relay are electromagnet A, armature B, spring C, moving contact D, static contact (normally open contact) E, and static contact (normally closed contact) F, (as shown in the figure ).

As long as a certain voltage is applied to both ends of the coil, a certain current will flow through the coil to generate electromagnetic effects, and the armature will attract the iron core against the pulling force of the return spring under the action of electromagnetic force attraction, thereby driving the moving contact and the static contact (normally open contact) to attract. When the coil is disconnected, the electromagnetic suction will also disappear, and the armature will return to the original position under the reaction force of the spring, releasing the moving contact and the original static contact (normally closed contact). This pulls in and releases, thus achieving the purpose of turning on and off in the circuit. The "normally open, normally closed" contacts of the relay can be distinguished in this way: the static contacts on off state when the relay coil is not energized are called "normally open contacts"; the static contacts on state are called "normally closed contact". The module comes with 2 positioning holes for you to fix the module to other equipment.

Specifications： Working voltage: 5V (DC) Interface: G, V, S interface Input signal: digital signal (high level 1, low level 0) Contacts: static contacts (normally open contacts, normally closed contacts) and moving contacts Rated current: 10A (NO) 5A (NC)  Maximum switching voltage: 150 V (AC) 24 V (DC)  Electric shock current: less than 3A  Weight: 15g  Contact action time: 10ms

}

Test Result： Wire, power up and upload the code. The relay is connected(“NO” is on , NC is off) for 0.5s, then disconnected for 0.5s (NC is on, NO is off), and alternately. When the relay is connected, the white LED is on, otherwise, the white LED is off.

Project 6：Photocell Sensor

Description

The photocell sensor (photoresistor) is a resistor made by the photoelectric effect of a semiconductor. It is very sensitive to ambient light, thus its resistance value vary with different light intensity. We use its features to design a circuit and generate a photoresistor sensor module. The signal end of the module is connected to the analog port of the microcontroller. When the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases, and the voltage of the analog port rises, that is, the analog value of the microcontroller also goes up. Otherwise, when the light intensity decreases, the resistance increases, and the voltage of the analog port declines. That is, the analog value of the microcontroller becomes smaller. Therefore, we can use the photoresistor sensor module to read the corresponding analog value and sense the light intensity in the environment. It is commonly applied to light measurement, control and conversion, light control circuit as well.

Project 7：Adjusting Motor Servo Angle

Description

When we make this kit, we often control doors and windows with servos. In this course, we’ll introduce its principle and how to use servo motors. Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor. Its working principle is that the servo receives the signal sent by MCU or receiver and produces a reference signal with a period of 20ms and width of 1.5ms, then compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.

Servo motor comes with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange colors (different brand may have different color). Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal line.

The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of PWM signal is 20ms (50Hz). Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms, but in fact, it's between 0.5ms-2.5ms. The width corresponds the rotation angle from 0° to 180°. But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotation angle. 

图

There are two ways to control a servomotor with Arduino. One is to use a common digital sensor port of Arduino to produce square wave with different duty cycle to simulate PWM signal and use that signal to control the positioning of the motor. Another way is to directly use the Servo function of the Arduino to control the motor. In this way, the program will be easier but it can only control two-contact motor because for the servo function, only digital pin 9 and 10 can be used. The Arduino drive capacity is limited. So if you need to control more than one motor, you will need external power.

Specifications: Working voltage: DC 4.8V ~ 6V Operating angle range: about 180 ° (at 500 → 2500 μsec) Pulse width range: 500 → 2500 μsec No-load speed: 0.12 ± 0.01 sec / 60 (DC 4.8V) 0.1 ± 0.01 sec / 60 (DC 6V) No-load current: 200 ± 20mA (DC 4.8V) 220 ± 20mA (DC 6V) Stopping torque: 1.3 ± 0.01kg · cm (DC 4.8V) 1.5 ± 0.1kg · cm (DC 6V) Stop current: ≦ 850mA (DC 4.8V) ≦ 1000mA (DC 6V) Standby current: 3 ± 1mA (DC 4.8V) 4 ± 1mA (DC 6V) Lead length: 250 ± 5 mm Appearance size: 22.9 * 12.2 * 30mm Weight: 9 ± 1 g (without servo horn) Storage temperature: -20 ℃ ~ 60 ℃ Operating temperature: -10 ℃ ~ 50 ℃

volatile int pulsewidth;//set variable pulsewidth
//Set a subroutine to control the servo angle
void procedure(int servopin, int myangle) {
  for (int i = 0; i <= 50; i = i + (1)) {
    pulsewidth = myangle * 11 + 500;
pinMode(servopin, OUTPUT);
//varaible servopin（means signal end of servo，set to output）
    digitalWrite(servopin,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(pulsewidth);//delay time is ms, the value is variable pulsewidth 
    pinMode(servopin, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(servopin,LOW);
    delay((20 - pulsewidth / 1000));
  }
}

void setup(){
  pulsewidth = 0;//set variable pulsewidth to 0
}
void loop(){
  procedure(9, 90);//set signal end of servo to digital9，the angle of servo is set to 90°

Project 9：Steam Sensor

Description This is a commonly used steam sensor. Its principle is to detect the amount of water by bare printed parallel lines on the circuit board. The more the water is, the more wires will be connected. As the conductive contact area increases, the output voltage will gradually rise. It can detect water vapor in the air as well. The steam sensor can be used as a rain water detector and level switch. When the humidity on the sensor surface surges, the output voltage will increase.

The sensor is compatible with various microcontroller control boards, such as Arduino series microcontrollers. When using it, we provide the instruction to operate steam sensor and Arduino control board. Connect the signal end of the sensor to the analog port of the microcontroller, sense the change of the analog value, and display the corresponding analog value on the serial monitor.

It comes with the 3pin with 2.54mm pitch. Connect it to control board with dupont lines. We particularly design the shield compatible with this sensor and keyestudio PLUS control board. You just need to stack shield to keyestudio PLUS control board and connect them together with 3pin dupont lines. Note: the connect part is not waterproof, don’t immerse it in the water please.

Project 10: PIR Motion Sensor

Description The Pyroelectric infrared motion sensor can detect infrared signals from a moving person or moving animal, and output switching signals. It can be applied to a variety of occasions to detect the movement of human body. Conventional pyroelectric infrared sensors are much more bigger, with complex circuit and lower reliability. Now we launch this new pyroelectric infrared motion sensor, specially designed for Arduino. This sensor integrates an integrated digital pyroelectric infrared sensor, and the connection pins. It features higher reliability, lower power consumption and simpler peripheral circuit.

Specifications: Input voltage: DC 3.3V ~ 18V Working current: 15uA Working temperature: -20 ~ 85 degrees Celsius Output voltage: high 3 V, low 0 V Output delay time (high level): about 2.3 to 3 seconds Detection angle: about 100 ° Detection distance: 3-4 meters Output indicator LED (high-level light) Pin limit current: 100mA

Special note： 1. The maximum distance is 3-4 meters during testing. 2. When testing, first open the white lens, you can see the rectangular sensing part. When the long line of the rectangular sensing part is parallel to the ground, the distance is the best. 3. When testing, the sensor needs to be covered with white lens, otherwise it will affect the distance. 4. The distance is best at 25℃, and the detection distance is shortened when it exceeds 30℃. 5. Done powering up and uploading the code, you need to wait 5-10 seconds then start testing, otherwise it is not sensitive.

Project 11: Analog（MQ-2）Sensor

Description

This gas sensor is used for household gas leak alarms, industrial combustible gas alarms and portable gas detection instruments. And it is suitable for the detection of liquefied gas, benzene, alkane, alcohol, hydrogen, etc., and widely used in various fire alarm systems. The MQ-2 smoke sensor can be accurately a multi-gas detector, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good stability, long life, and simple drive circuit. It can detect the concentration of flammable gas and smoke in the range of 300~10000ppm.Meanwhile, it has high sensitivity to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and other smoke, especially to alkanes smoke. It must be heated for a period of time before using the smoke sensor, otherwise the output resistance and voltage are not accurate. However, the heating voltage should not be too high, otherwise it will cause my internal signal line to blow.

It is belongs to the tin dioxide semiconductor gas-sensitive material, and belongs to the surface ion type N-type semiconductor. At a certain temperature, tin dioxide adsorbs oxygen in the air and forms negative ion adsorption of oxygen, reducing the electron density in the semiconductor, thereby increasing its resistance value. When in contact with flammable gas in the air and smog, if the potential barrier at the grain boundary is adjusted by the smog, it will cause the surface conductivity to change. With this, information about the presence of smoke or flammable gas can be obtained. The greater the concentration of smoke or flammable gas in the air, the greater the conductivity, and the lower the output resistance, the larger the analog signal output. The sensor comes with a positioning hole, which is convenient for you to fix the sensor to other devices. In addition, the sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the potentiometer.

Project 13: Soil Humidity Sensor

Description

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. Insert it into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind of you: I need water.
