Well, next let’s create the sketch. <br>
Well, next let’s create the sketch. <br>
The code logic of the smart car is nothing more than 5 kinds of movement modes, namely go forward, go backward, turn left, turn right and stop. So think about it. How could it implement those functions? Simply, for example, both the left and the right motor of the smart car turn in the forward direction, so that the smart car is able to go forward. If both the left and the right motors turn in reverse, the smart car will go backward. Besides, if the motor on the left side of car turns forward but the right side one turns reverse, it means that the smart car will turn right. If the motor on the right side of car turns forward but the left side one turns reverse, it means that the smart car will turn left.<br>
The code logic of the robot is nothing more than 5 kinds of movement modes, namely go forward, go backward, turn left, turn right and stop. So think about it. How could it implement those functions?   <br>
You may be a little bit confused that how to control the forward or reverse turning of the motor?Actually, you can achieve that by controlling the microcontroller pin of motor direction to active at HIGH or LOW level.<br>
Simply, for example, both left and right motor of robot turn forward, so it is able to go forward. If both the left and right motor turn reverse, the robot will go backward.   <br>
It is much more easier to understand the motor turning, however, it would be a little bit complicated to work out the speed control of motor. <br>
Besides, if the left motor turns forward but right motor turns reverse, the robot will turn right. If the right motor turns forward but left motor turns reverse, the robot will turn left. <br>  
As for the speed control of motor, it involves the PWM mode. So what is PWM? Actually PWM is the short for     Pulse Width Modulation. PWM is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a square wave (a signal switched between on and off) to control the analog output. The output voltage of Arduino Digital port only has LOW and HIGH level, corresponding to the output voltage of 0 Volts and 5 Volts. <br>

Like the graphic shown below, the green lines represent a regular time period. This duration or period is the inverse of the PWM frequency.
In other words, with Arduino's PWM frequency at about 500Hz, the green lines would measure 2 milliseconds each.  <br>
A call to analogWrite() is on a scale of 0-255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time) for example. <br>

For example, we have marked the PWM pins that can be used for analog output on the UNO board. <br>
 
The PWM pins are D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, and D11.
For example, as for the UNO board below, we have marked the PWM pins that can be used for analog output. You can see the PWM pins on UNO board are D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, and D11.

The function called by the PWM is: '''analogWrite(pin, value)'''. <br>
Note that the value is between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on). The speed of the motor is controlled actually by this value. The bigger the value is, the faster the speed is. Rather, the smaller the value is, the slower the speed it is until it stops. <br>


The function called by the PWM is: '''analogWrite(pin, value)'''. <br>

'''Project Overview:'''<br>
[[File:Ks0364 - line track .jpg|500px|thumb|right]]
In the previous sections, you have learned the principles and applications of both tracking module and the motor drive module. After master that knowledge, let’s combine these two modules to make a smart car with line tracking function. Sound great? Well, let’s do it right now.<br>
So first what does line tracking mean? You should figure it out. It refers to following the line trajectory. For instance, the smart car will always follow or track the black line.
The principle is using the tracking sensor to detect the black track on the pavement, and detection signal will feed back to ARDUINOmain control board. Then main control board will analyze and judge the collected signals to control and drive the motor in time, thus can adjust the turning direction of smart car. That is why the smart car can automatically follow the black track, achieving the automatic line tracking function.<br>
This technology has been applied to many areas such as driverless vehicles, unmanned factories, warehouses, and service robots.<br>


'''Project Principle:'''<br>
'''Project Overview:''' <br>
Using the characteristic that black has low reflectivity to light. When flat surface is not black, the infrared light transmitted by the sensor will be reflected back mostly, so the sensor outputs low level 0.When the flat surface has a black line and the sensor is above the black line, the reflected infrared light is very less due to the weak reflectivity of black, so it does not reach theaction level and sensor outputs high level 1.<br>
In the previous sections, you have learned the principles and applications of both tracking module and the motor drive shield. After master that knowledge, let’s combine these two modules to make the turtle with line tracking function. <br>
Use the main control board to determine whether the output end of sensor is 0 or 1, finally detect the black line.The main control board will control the turning direction of motoraccording to the received signal, so finally can  control the movement of smart car. This is a simple line tracking smart car.<br>

'''Description:''' <br>
There is an animal called bat in nature. The batscan fly at night, not depend on its eyes, but on its ears and vocal organs. When the bat flies, it will emit a scream, an ultrasonic signal that humans cannot hear because of its high audio frequency. If these ultrasonic signals hit other objects on the flight path, they will be reflected back immediately. After receive the returned information, the bats complete the whole process of listening, seeing, calculating and bypassing obstacles during the flutter.<br>

After receive the returned information, the bats complete the whole process of listening, seeing, calculating and bypassing obstacles during the flutter. <br>
The principle of the ultrasonic rangefinder module is as the same as the above principle. The ultrasonic module will emit the ultrasonic waves after trigger signal. When the ultrasonic waves encounter the object and are reflected back, the module outputs an echo signal, so it can determine the distance of object from the time difference between trigger signal and echo signal. <br>
<br>
Ultrasonic sensor has a wide range of sensitivity, no blind area, and no interference with obstacles. This technology has been used in business and security area for more than 25 years and has been proven to be the most effective method for detecting the movement of small objects.<br>
The principle of the ultrasonic rangefinder module is as the same as the above principle. <br>
As the following picture shown, it is our keyestudio ultrasonic module. You can see it has two somethings like eyes. One is transmitting end, the other is receiving end.

'''Working principle:''' <br>
The receiver or MCU outputs a signal to the servomotor. The motor has a built-in reference circuit that gives out reference signal, cycle of 20ms and width of 1.5ms. The motor compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.  
The receiver or MCU outputs a signal to the servo motor. The motor has a built-in reference circuit that gives out reference signal, cycle of 20ms and width of 1.5ms. The motor compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.
The IC on the circuit board will decide the rotate direction accordingly and drive the core-less motor. The gear then pass the force to the shaft. The sensor will determine if it has reached the commanded position according to the feedback signal.
<br>
Servo motors are used in control systems that requires to have and maintain different angles. When the motor speed is definite, the gear will cause the potentiometer to rotate. When the voltage difference reduces to zero, the motor stops. Normally, the rotation angle range is among 0-180 degrees. <br>
Servo motors come with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange color (different brand may have different color). Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal. <br>

<br>[[File:ks0194-2.png|600px|frameless|thumb]]<br>


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). <br>
When you send the right signal through the signal wire, the servo will move to a specific angle and stay there. Common servos rotate over a range of about 0° to 180°. The signal that is sent is a PWM signal.  
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°. <br>
But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotation angle. <br>

===Project 4: Infrared Remote Control Robot ===
 
==== 1) Principle and Application of Infrared Receiver====
 
'''Principle of IR Remote Control:''' <br>
[[File:KS0364 - 图片8.png|300px|thumb|right ]]
 
There is no doubt that infrared remote control is commonly seen in our daily life. It's hard to imagine our world without it.  <br>
In reality, an infrared remote control can be used to control a wide range of home appliances such as television, audio, video recorders and satellite signal receivers. It is so practical. Well, in the following let’s get a better understanding of the infrared remote control.
<br>
Infrared remote control is composed of infrared transmitting and infrared receiving systems. That is, consist of an infrared remote control, an infrared receiver module and a microcontroller that can decode. You can refer to the figure below. <br>
<br>[[File:KS0313 4-1-1.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>   
The 38K infrared carrier signal transmitted by an infrared remote controller is encoded by an encoding chip inside the remote controller. It is composed of a pilot code, user code, data code, and data inversion code.  <br>
The time interval between pulses is used to distinguish whether it is a signal 0 or 1. (when the ratio of high level to low level is about 1:1, considered as signal 0.) And the encoding is just well composed of signal 0 and 1. <br>
<br>
The user code of the same button on remote controller is unchanged. Using difference data distinguish the key pressed on the remote control. <br>
When press down a button on the remote control, it will send out an infrared carrier signal. And when infrared receiver receives that signal, its program will decode the carrier signal, and through different data codes, thus can judge which key is pressed. <br>
The microcontroller is decoded by an received signal 0 or 1 to determine which key is pressed by the remote control.
 
<br>
As for an infrared receiver module, it is mainly composed of an infrared receiving head. This device integrates with reception, amplification and demodulation. Its internal IC has been demodulated, able to complete all the work from infrared reception to output TTL level signal compatible. It outputs Digital signal. Suitable for IR remote control and infrared data transmission. <br>
The infrared receiver module has only three pins (Signal line, VCC, GND), very convenient to communicate with Arduino and other microcontrollers.
<br>[[File:KS0364 图片9.png|500px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
 
<br>
'''Parameters of IR Receiver:'''<br>
* 1)Operating Voltage: 3.3-5V(DC) <br>
* 2)Interface: 3PIN  <br>
* 3)Output Signal: Digital signal <br>
* 4)Receiving Angle: 90 degrees <br>
* 5)Frequency: 38khz <br>
* 6)Receiving Distance: 18m <br>
 
<br>
'''Decoding and Control of IR Remote Control:''' <br>
First of all, let’s figure out the decoding. You can refer to the steps as follows: <br>
'''Step 1:''' Connect the infrared receiver module to the P3 connector on the shield using the connector wire. <br>
<br>[[File:Ks0364 - connection 10.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
'''Step 2:''' Download the libraries of infrared remote control inside the Arduino Libraries directory.
<br>[[File:KS0364 图片10.png|700px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
The infrared remote control libraries include transmitting and receiving functions of remote control, so that you just need to call the internal functions to control the remote control.
You can download the libraries from here: [https://drive.google.com/open?id=13woTmKIIsAEvqb9y31b42JM3H7NTVPw8] [[File:KS0313 4-1-4.png|800px|frameless|thumb]] IRremote.zip <br>
 
<br>
'''Step 3:''' Open the Arduino IDE, upload the code to read the value of remote control. <br>
<br>[[File:IR Code.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
'''Code 12:''' <br>
<pre>
#include <IRremote.h> // library file
int RECV_PIN = 15;  //receiver module is connected to A1,namely Digital 15
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600); // set the baud rate
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}
void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {  // if receive the code
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);  // print the value of remote control
    irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
  }
}
</pre>
<span style="color: red">''' Code to Note:''' </span ><br>
Before verify the above code in ArduinoIDE, do remember to add IRremote folder into \Arduino\compiler libraries directory, or it will fail to compile it. <br>
 
<br>
'''Step 4:''' Upload well the above code to ARDUINO controller, then open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600. Aimed at the IR receiver sensor, press down the button of remote control, you will see the corresponding encode of button is displayed on the monitor. If you press the button too long, it will easily appear a messy code like FFFFFF shown as below.
<br>[[File:KS0313 4-1-6.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
 
Below we have listed out each button value of keyestudio remote control. You can keep it for reference.
<br>[[File:KS0313 4-1-7.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
Next, let’s use the remote control to make a small experiment. Use the remote control to make 8*8 dot matrix display different images. <br>
 
<br>

'''What you will see?'''  <br>
Upload the above code to the board, and turn on the POWER button on the shield. Aligned with the IR receiver, use remote control to control the turtle robot run, showing the running states on the dot matrix display.

==== 2) Infrared Control Turtle Robot ====
 
'''Overview:'''  <br>
In the previous section, we have introduced how to use an IR remote control to control a 8*8 dot matrix. So think that how to control the smart robot with an IR remote control.  <br>
It is very simple. Use ARDUINO board to analyze and judge the collected infrared signal so as to drive the motor forward,backward and turn.
You can apply the decoding value of remote control mentioned before to the code that used to control the robot with IR remote control.
It also adds a 8*8 dot matrix to display the running state of turtle robot.  <br>
 
<br>
'''Wiring Diagram:''' <br>
<br>[[File:Ks0364 - connection 12.png|700px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
Next let’s look back to the decoding value of IR remote control.
<br>[[File:KS0313 4-1-7.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
<br>
You can get the details:  <br>
* Forward button: 0x00FF629D 
* Backward button: 0x00FFA857
* Stop button: 0x00FF02FD
* Left button: 0x00FF22DD
* Right Button: 0x00FFC23D
You can apply those data to the code of infrared controlled robot.

===Project 5: Bluetooth Controlled Robot ===
 
<br>
====1) Principle and Application of Bluetooth Remote Control====
<br>
Bluetooth, as the name implies, blue teeth, and he is not used to bite people, but a wireless data transmission method. Bluetooth technology is a wireless standard technology that enables short-range data exchange among fixed devices, mobile devices, and personal area networks of buildings (UHF radio waves in the ISM band of 2.4 to 2.485 GHz).  <br>
There are two kinds of commonly used Bluetooth module on the market, HC-05 and HC-06 models. The difference between them is that the HC-05 is a master-slave one.  <br>
It can not only make small reports to its own “master”, but also can receive the command given to it. The HC-06 can only work in slave mode, which can only accept the superior command. For instance, in many cases you may want to be an overbearing man, letting the subordinates obey the order without any nonsense. So in such situation, it is enough to use the HC-06 module shown as below.

'''Wiring Diagram:'''<br>
Next, we are going to do a small experiment. When Bluetooth module receives a signal sent by phone, finally control an LED on and off.
<br>[[File:Ks0364 - connection 13.png|800px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
 
<br>
'''Test Code 15:'''<br>
<pre>
int val; 
int led=11;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(11,OUTPUT);
}
void loop()
{ val=Serial.read();
if(val=='U')
{
digitalWrite(11, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
}
if(val=='D')
{
digitalWrite(11, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
}
}
</pre>
 
<br>
After wiring, upload the above code to the board, and connect the Bluetooth module. Pay more attention to the connecting direction. Plug it correctly and you should see an LED on the module flash. 
<br>[[File:KS0313 5-1-3.png|600px|frameless|thumb]]<br>
 
<br>
<span style="color: red">''' Pay special attention to:'''  <br>
You must first upload the code to the board and then plug in the Bluetooth module, otherwise the program fails to compile. Because the data transmits of Bluetooth module will occupy the microcontroller’s TX and RX pins that are also used for the code upload of microcontroller, it exists a conflict. </span > <br>
After uploading the code, you have to do another thing, that is, install an application of Bluetooth serial assistant on the phone. <br>
[[File:KS0313 5-1-4.png|400px|thumb|right]]
You can click the link below to download the Bluetooth serial assistant: <br>
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D16V4HZ5H6k7p1-NMCqb0JRy_dl5tvuC
 
<br>
The Bluetooth we used here is Bluetooth 2.0. Currently, it only supports the Android devices. Do not support Apple devices. Please pay attention to this when using it.
<br>
After the serial assistant is installed, must first connect the device, open the mobile Bluetooth, search for a Bluetooth device. If find a Bluetooth device named HC-06, pair and enter 1234, finally you should see the paired device shown as below.
<br>[[File:KS0313 5-1-5.png|600px|frameless|thumb]] [[File:Ks0364 bluetooth (2).jpg|250px|frameless|thumb]] [[File:Ks0364 U.jpg|250px|frameless|thumb]]  <br>
 
<br>
Then open the Bluetooth serial communication APP, namely BT Client, and connect well the Bluetooth just paired.  <br>
Done connecting, an LED on the Bluetooth module is always on. If enter the letter '''U''' in the Bluetooth APP, the LED connected on the pin 11is on; if enter the letter '''D''', the LED is off.

====2) Bluetooth Controlled Turtle Robot ====
 
In the previous section, you have learned the principles of Bluetooth and how to use Bluetooth to control a small light. Okay, based on that, could we use Bluetooth to send a command to control the robot run?  <br>
Absolutely yeah. In the previous section, we can use a mobile APP to send a character. Use a Bluetooth module to receive the Bluetooth signal from the mobile phone, and feed it back to the main control board. Then main control board will analyze and judge the collected signals. If correct, it will control the robot run. <br>
Here we don't need a Bluetooth serial assistant as mentioned above. Just use an Android APP developed by our keyestudio team to control the robot. <br>
[[File:KS0313 5-2-1.png|800px|thumb|right]]
You can click the link to download the APP: <br>
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1g-bwP1SyJVfQseywRORQ6rOJOVd3JU5i
 
<br>
The interface of this APP is very simple, as shown below.
<br>[[File:KS0313 5-2-2.png|800px|frameless|thumb]] <br>
 
<br>
Connected the Bluetooth, let’s make use of a little program that can read the serial data, to check what character the five buttons send. Then apply them to the example code for Bluetooth robot in the following projects.<br>
<br>
'''Test Code 16:'''
 
<pre>
char val; // define the variable val
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);// set the baud rate as 9600, the same as software setting. When connecting the particular device like Bluetooth, it should be consistent with the baud rate of other devices. 
}
void loop()
{
val=Serial.read();//read the data received from serial port, and assign it to val
Serial.println(val);// print val data
delay(300);//delay 0.3S
}
</pre>
 
<br>
Through the above program, we can get that five buttons are Upward (“U”), Downward (“D”), Left (“L”), Right (“R”), and Stop (“S”). The principle is very simple.  <br>
When Bluetooth module receives these characters sent by the mobile phone, and then it will send them to ARDUINO. ARDUINO will control the rotation direction of motor according to the preset value in the code. <br>
When receive the information "U", smart robot will move forward. When receive "D", it goes backward. If receive "L", turn left. If receive "R", turn right. The smart car will stop when receive the "S". <br>
 
<br>

===Project 6: 4 in 1 Complete Robot ===
 
'''Overview:''' <br>
In the above projects, we have introduced four functions for the turtle robot, that is, line following, avoiding obstacles, IR control and Bluetooth remote control. <br>
Now, let’s combine those functions together to make a complete robot. You can use the IR module to switch the functions. <br>
'''Function switching methods:'''  <br>
Powered on and aligned with the IR receiver, press the number 1 on the IR remote control, the turtle robot will enter the line tracking function. Then press the key OK, it will exist the tracking function. <br>
* If press the number 2, enter the obstacle avoidance function, and press OK to end that function. <br>
* If press the number 3, enter the S line forward, and press OK to end the function.
* If press the number 4, the robot will turn around the wheel on the left, and press OK to end the function.
* If press the number 5, the robot will turn a circle to the left, and press OK to end the function.
* If press the number 6, the robot will turn a circle to the right, and press OK to end the function. <br>
When exist the function modes, be able to control the car through infrared control or Phone-Bluetooth control. <br>

Project Details for Turtle Robot

Project 1: Getting Started with ARDUINO

1)UNO Control Board

When it comes to using the UNO R3 as core of our robot, the UNO is the best board to get started with electronics and coding. If this is your first experience tinkering with the platform, the UNO is the most robust board you can start playing with.

UNO R3--.png


Well, let's at first have a look at this UNO R3 board.
UNO.png

KS0313 5.1-1.png USB Connection

Arduino board can be powered via USB connector. Or you can program the board via the USB port.

KS0313 5.1-2.png DC Power Jack

Arduino board can be supplied with power from the DC power jack

KS0313 5.1-3.png Voltage Regulator

To control the voltage provided to the Arduino board, as well as to stabilize the DC voltage used by the processor and other components.

KS0313 5.1-4.png Crystal Oscillator

How does Arduino calculate time? by using a crystal oscillator. The number printed on the top of the Arduino crystal is 16.000H9H. It tells us that the frequency is 16,000,000 Hertz or 16MHz.

KS0313 5.1-5.png Arduino RESET

You can reset your Arduino board, for example, start the program from the very beginning. Firstly, use the RESET button(17). Or you can connect an external reset button to Arduino pin 5 labeled RESET

KS0313 5.1-6.png Pin Header(3.3V,5V,GND,Vin

KS0313 5.1-7.png3.3V - provides 3.3V output voltage
KS0313 5.1-8.png5V - provides 5V output voltage
Using 3.3 volts and 5 volts, most components can normally operate with Arduino board together.
KS0313 5.1-9.pngGND(Ground pins)- two GND headers on Arduino, each of which can be used for circuit ground.
KS0313 5.1-10.pngVin - You can supply an external power (like AC power supply) through this pin to Arduino board.

KS0313 5.1-11.png Analog Pins

Arduino UNO board has 6 analog inputs, labeled A0 through A5. These pins can read the signal from analog sensors (such as humidity sensor or temperature sensor), and convert it into the digital value that can read by microcontrollers)

KS0313 5.1-12.png Microcontroller

Each Arduino board has its own microcontroller. You can regard it as the brain of your board.
The main IC (integrated circuit) on the Arduino is slightly different from the panel pair. Microcontrollers are usually from ATMEL. Before you load a new program from the Arduino IDE, you must know what IC is on your board. This information can be checked at the top of IC.

KS0313 5.1-13.png ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programming) Header

In most case, ICSP is the AVR, an Arduino micro-header consisting of MOSI, MISO, SCK, RESET, VCC, and GND.It is often called the SPI (serial peripheral interface) and can be considered an "extension" of the output.In fact, slave the output devices under the SPI bus host.

KS0313 5.1-14.png Power LED Indicator

Powering the Arduino, LED on means that your circuit board is correctly powered on. If LED is off, connection is wrong.

KS0313 5.1-15.png TX and RX LED

Onboard you can find two labels: RX(receive ) and TX (transmit)
First appear on digital pin 0 and 1 for serial communication;
Besides, the RX LED on the board will flash in different speed when serial data is being transmitted. The flash speed depends on the baud rate set by board. And RX LED will also flash during the receiving process.

KS0313 5.1-16.png Digital I/O

Arduino UNO has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs). These pins can be configured as digital input pin to read the logic value (0 or 1). Or used as digital output pin to drive different modules like LED, relay, etc. The pin labeled “〜” can be used to generate PWM.

3) Light up an LED

Overview:
In the above section, you have learned how to use the development software. So want to try it out with an example project? Get started with one more basic program, bringing you enter the wonderful programming world of ARDUINO. Great, follow the project sections below to have your first awesome try!
LED experiment is one of the more basic experiments in learning ARDUINO. Here we will use our keyestudio LED module. On the module, you will see a light emitting diode (LED), which has two states of on and off. Since our module itself has done well the circuit, you can use it in a simple way. Just need to connect its pins.
There are three lead-out pins on the module, respectively negative pin(marked -), positive pin(marked +) and signal pin(marked S). Note that the modules from different manufactures may have different pin labels.

Next, connect the three pins of LED module to keyestudio UNO R3 shield using three dupont jumper wires. Connect negative pin to the ground, positive pin to 5V, and signal pin to Digital 11. Shown as below.
Connect It Up:
Ks0364 - connection 1.png


Test Code 1:

int ledpin=11; // define the LED pin as Digital 11
void setup() 
{  pinMode(11, OUTPUT); // initialize digital pin 11 as an output.
}
void loop()
 {
  digitalWrite(11, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(11, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
}


Note: In the code pay attention to Single line comment (//),so that your can know how your program works.
Comments are lines in the program that are used to inform yourself or others about the way the program works. They are ignored by the compiler, and not exported to the processor, so they don’t take up any space in the microcontroller’s flash memory. Comments' only purpose is to help you understand (or remember), or to inform others about how your program works.


What you should see?
Done wiring, compile the code and then click on the 'Upload' button. The second button from the left on the toolbar of Arduino IDE. When upload well the code to the board, you will see the status at the bottom of window will change to “Done uploading”.
KS0364 - 图片1.png

Eventually, you will see the LED light up for one second, then off one second. Congrats! Your first programming is done successfully.

4) PWM Controlled Brightness

Overview:
In the previous project, you have learned how to turn on or off an LED. So you may be interested in changing the brightness of an LED light, just making it like the bedside lamp in your bedroom.
It is indeed important for you to master the knowledge of PWM. Right, PWM is short for Pulse Width Modulation. How can it be understood in a simple way? We all know that the voltage output of Arduino Digital port only has two states, LOW and HIGH, corresponding to the voltage output of 0V and 5V.
If merely make use of LOW and HIGH state, it cannot control the brightness of an LED light. However, if convert the voltage output of 0 Volts and 5 Volts into the value within 0-255, this way you can change the value within 0-255 to control the brightness of light. It is much more feasible, isn’t it ?
Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM, is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a square wave of different duty cycle, a signal switched between on and off. This on-off pattern can simulate voltages in between full on (5 Volts) and off (0 Volts) by changing the portion of the time the signal spends on versus the time that the signal spends off. 
  The Arduino controller has totally 6 PWM outputs, which are Digital 3, 5, 6, 9, 10 and 11. Shown as follows.

KS0313(4).png

These pins can be used as Digital output or Analog output. If used as Analog output, it needs to call the analogWrite() function of ARDUINO, and this analogWrite() function can be controlled in the range of 0-255.

In the graphic below, the green lines represent a regular time period. This duration or period is the inverse of the PWM frequency. In other words, with Arduino's PWM frequency at about 500Hz, the green lines would measure 2 milliseconds each. A call to analogWrite() is on a scale of 0-255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time) for example.

KS0313(4)-1.png

In fact, PWM can be applied to dimming lamps, motor speed, sound production, etc.
In the following, we are going to control the brightness of the LED.

Hookup Guide:
On the aspect of hardware, we still utilize the LED connected to D11 mentioned above. You can refer to the wiring diagram as follows:

Ks0364 - connection 2.png


Sample Code 2:

int LED= 11;//define the LED pin 
int i = 0;//define a variable i,
void setup(){
pinMode(LED,OUTPUT); //set LED pin as OUTPUT
}
void loop(){
for(i = 0;i < 255;i++){ //variable is changed from 0 to 254(fade in)
analogWrite(LED, i);//set LED brightness
delay(10);//delay 10ms, analogWrite function will be finished in a short time. 
//speed is too fast to observe                             
}
for(i =255;i > 0; i--){ //variable is changed from 255 to 1(fade out)
analogWrite(LED, i);//set LED brightness
delay(10); //delay 10ms
}
}


Code Explanation: analogWrite(LED, i);
Writes an analog value (PWM wave) to a pin. Can be used to light a LED at varying brightnesses or drive a motor at various speeds. After a call to analogWrite(), the pin will generate a steady square wave of the specified duty cycle until the next call to analogWrite() (or a call to digitalRead() or digitalWrite()) on the same pin. The frequency of the PWM signal on most pins is approximately 490 Hz.

Syntax: analogWrite(pin,value)
It has two parameters:

  • pin: the pin to write to. Allowed data types: int.
  • value: the duty cycle: between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on). Allowed data types: int


Example Result:
Upload the above code to the board, you could change the LED brightness in the code.
KS0313(4)-2.png

Furthermore, in the motor driving project below, it also involves the concept PWM.



5) Light up LED Matrix

Overview:
In the previous project, we have simply tested the LED. Now we have added a new 8*8 Dot Matrix module to the turtle to show the robot states. Amazing display!
Do you know how is the cool advertising display made? It is exactly composed of these small LED matrix. If you want to make a similar display, this keyestudio 8*8 Dot Matrix module will meet you need.
This tiny display has 64 LEDs packed into a 8*8 dot matrix. It integrated HT16K33as driver chip, so with this LED matrix module, you can control it through connecting the I2C communication interfaces ( A4-SDA ; A5-SCL).
It is great for displaying image/text or creating bizarre patterns, and is highly portable and convenient to use. Of course you can program it via IDE or via Mixly block. With just a few steps, you are ready to impress others!

KS0364 - 图片2.png


Hookup Guide:
Connect the LED matrix module to the pin header on the motor drive shield. Connect the SCL pin to pin A5, SDA pin to pin A4; Connect VCC pin to 5V, GND to ground.
thumb


Sample Code 3:

#include <Wire.h>
#include "Adafruit_LEDBackpack.h"
#include "Adafruit_GFX.h"
Adafruit_LEDBackpack matrix = Adafruit_LEDBackpack();
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  Serial.println("HT16K33 test");
  
  matrix.begin(0x70);  // pass in the address
}

void loop() 
{
  /////////smile face///////////////
    matrix.displaybuffer[0] = B00000011;
    matrix.displaybuffer[1] = B10000000;
    matrix.displaybuffer[2] = B00010011;
    matrix.displaybuffer[3] = B00100000;
    matrix.displaybuffer[4] = B00100000;
    matrix.displaybuffer[5] = B00010011;
    matrix.displaybuffer[6] = B10000000;
    matrix.displaybuffer[7] = B00000011;
    matrix.writeDisplay();
}


Code To Note:
In the code, it needs to call three libraries, that is Wire.h; Adafruit_LEDBackpack.h and Adafruit_GFX.h
Wire.h is a built-in library of Arduino IDE, so not need to add it, but you should place the libraries folder Adafruit_LEDBackpack.h and Adafruit_GFX.h inside the libraries directory of IDE.
thumb

Note: place well the libraries folder, need to reopen the Arduino IDE again, and the libraries should be effective.
You can download the libraries from the link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=16ii-ZQTNK_Fn8KG81rhBw7JX1zQQ6nG6

Place the LED matrix as the right picture shown.

点阵.png

In the experiment, you can control the LED dot matrix display through the code matrix.displaybuffer[0] = B00000011
Note: the number 0 in the matrix.displaybuffer[0] represents the columns of LED. The number 0 is the first column, and the number 1 represents the second column. The rest can be done in the same manner.
B00000011 represents the on and off state of 8 LEDs in the cols. The number 0 represents off, while the number 1 represents on.
So matrix.displaybuffer[0] = B00000011 means that the first column, the LEDs in the row 1, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 are set to off, the LEDs in the row 3 and 2 are on.


What you should see?
Hookup well and upload the code to the board, you should see the keyestudio 8*8 Dot matrix show a smile face.

Project 2: Line Tracking Turtle

1) Principle and Application of Line Tracking Sensor

Overview:
The tracking sensor is actually an infrared sensor. The component used here is the TCRT5000 infrared tube.
Its working principle is to use the different reflectivity of infrared light to the color, then convert the strength of the reflected signal into a current signal.
During the process of detection, black is active at HIGH level, but white is active at LOW level. And detection height is 0-3 cm.

The following figure is our keyestudio 3-channel line tracking module. We have integrated 3 sets of TCRT5000 infrared tube on a single board, which is more convenient for wiring and control.
By rotating the adjustable potentiometer on the sensor, it can adjust the detection sensitivity of the sensor.
thumb


TECH SPECS:

  • Operating Voltage: 3.3-5V (DC)
  • Interface: 5PIN
  • Output Signal: Digital signal
  • Detection Height: 0-3 cm


Wiring Diagram:
Okay, next let’s do a simple test for this tracking module.
Connect the line tracking module to the shield using connector wire. Then connect the LED module to the pin11 header on the shield. The connection diagram is shown as below.
thumb

Wire it up well as the above diagram, then you can type the following test code.

Test Code 4:

int sensor1 = 6; // define the pin of left sensor as pin D6
int ledPin =11; //define LEDpin as Digital 11
void setup() 
{
    pinMode(sensor1, INPUT); //define the sensor as INPUT
    pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); //define LED as OUTPUT
}

void loop() 
{
  if( digitalRead(sensor1)==LOW)  // read the state of sensor, if detect the white paper, it is at LOW level.
    {digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // light an LED
  }
   else // or else
   {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn off an LED
  }
}


So how do you think about that? It is really simple. For another two-channel, you can refer to the above code to finish the testing.

Test Code 5:

int sensor2 = 7; // define the pin of middle sensor as pin D7
int ledPin =11; // define LEDpin as Digital 11
void setup() 
{
    pinMode(sensor2, INPUT); // define the sensor as INPUT
    pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); // define LED as OUTPUT
}
void loop() 
{
   if( digitalRead(sensor2)==LOW)  // read the state of sensor, if detect the white paper, it is at LOW level.
    {digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // light an LED
  }
   else //or else
   {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn off an LED
  }
}


Test Code 6:

int sensor3 = 8; //  define the pin of right sensor as pin D8
int ledPin =11; // define LEDpin as Digital 11
void setup() 
{
    pinMode(sensor3, INPUT); // define the sensor as INPUT
    pinMode(ledPin,OUTPUT); // define LED as OUTPUT
}

void loop() 
{
if( digitalRead(sensor3)==LOW)  //read the state of sensor, if detect the white paper, it is at LOW level.
    {digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);  // light an LED
  }
   else // or else
   {
      digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn off an LED
  }
}


Upload well the code to the board, you should see that if the tracking sensor detects a white object, the LED module will light up.

In the section below, we are about to match the digital sensors with other modules to make interactive works.


2) Motor Driving and Speed Control


thumb

Overview:
There are many ways to drive the motor. Our robot uses the most commonly used L298P solution.
L298P is an excellent high-power motor driver IC produced by STMicroelectronics. It can directly drive DC motors, two-phase and four-phase stepping motors.
The driving current up to 2A, and output terminal of motor adopts eight high-speed Schottky diodes as protection. We have designed the motor driver shield based on the L298P circuit.
The stackable design can make it be plugged directly into the Arduino, reducing the technical difficulty of using and driving the motor.
thumb
When stack the driver shield onto UNO R3 board, after the BAT is powered on, press the POWER button lightly. The external power will be supplied to both the driver shield and UNO R3 board at the same time.
In order to facilitate wiring, the driver shield comes with an anti-reverse interface. When connecting the motor, power supplyand sensor modules, you just need to plug incorrectly.
The Bluetooth interface on the driver shield is fully compatible with keyestudio HC-06 Bluetooth module. When connecting, you just need to plug HC-06 Bluetooth module into the corresponding interface.
At the same time, thedrive shield solders 2.54mm pin headers tolead outsome unused digital ports and analog ports, so that you can continue to add other sensors for experiments extension.


Specifications:

  • 1. Logic part input voltage: 5V
  • 2. Driving part input voltage: DC 7-12V
  • 3. Logic part working current: <36mA
  • 4.Driving part working current: <2A
  • 5. Maximum powerdissipation: 25W (T=75℃)
  • 6. Control signal input level:
High level: 2.3V<Vin<5V    
Low level: -0.3V<Vin<1.5V
  • 7. Working temperature: -25℃~+130℃


Pinout Instructions:
As the diagram shown below, you can get the detailed information of connectors on the motor drive shield.

thumb


Driving DC Motor:
In the previous section, we have shown you the basic principle and parameters of L298P motor drive module. You can get the details of all interfaces on the board. So in the following, we will formally introduce how to drive the motor? First, you should connect well two motors to the shield, i.e. motor A and motor B shown as below.
thumb


Well, next let’s create the sketch.
The code logic of the robot is nothing more than 5 kinds of movement modes, namely go forward, go backward, turn left, turn right and stop. So think about it. How could it implement those functions?
Simply, for example, both left and right motor of robot turn forward, so it is able to go forward. If both the left and right motor turn reverse, the robot will go backward. 
Besides, if the left motor turns forward but right motor turns reverse, the robot will turn right. If the right motor turns forward but left motor turns reverse, the robot will turn left.
So how to control the forward and backward of motor? Actually, you can easily achieve that by controlling the microcontroller pin for motor direction to be HIGH or LOW level.

It is much more easier to understand the motor turning, however, it would be a little bit complicated to work out the speed control of motor. As for the speed control of motor, it involves the PWM mode mentioned in the previous section. So what is PWM?
PWM is the short for Pulse Width Modulation. PWM is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a square wave (a signal switched between on and off) to control the analog output. The output voltage of Arduino Digital port only has LOW and HIGH level, corresponding to the output voltage of 0 Volts and 5 Volts.
Like the graphic shown below, the green lines represent a regular time period. This duration or period is the inverse of the PWM frequency. In other words, with Arduino's PWM frequency at about 500Hz, the green lines would measure 2 milliseconds each.
A call to analogWrite() is on a scale of 0-255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time) for example.

KS0313(4)-1.png


For example, we have marked the PWM pins that can be used for analog output on the UNO board.
The PWM pins are D3, D5, D6, D9, D10, and D11.
KS0313(4).png

The function called by the PWM is: analogWrite(pin, value).
Note that the value is between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on). The speed of the motor is controlled actually by this value. The bigger the value is, the faster the speed is. Rather, the smaller the value is, the slower the speed it is until it stops.

In the following figure, look at the language logic for motor states: go forward, backward, turn left, turn right and stop.
M1 and M2 represent the motor’s direction control, that is, forward and backward rotation.
E1 and E2 represent the speed control, and speed is set to 150.

E1 M1 E2 M2
Forward 150 HIGH Motor A goes forward 150 HIGH Motor B goes forward
Backward 150 LOW Motor A goes backward 150 LOW Motor B goes backward
Left 150 LOW Motor A goes forward 150 HIGH Motor B goes backward
Right 150 HIGH Motor A goes backward 150 LOW Motor B goes forward
Stop 0 LOW Motor A stops 0 LOW Motor B stops



Example Code 7:
Okay, next we will start to write the example code. The part of Single line comment (//) is the explanation for the code. Based on that, you can understand it better.

int E1 = 9; //  set the speed pin of motor A as D9
int E2 = 5; //  set the speed pin of motor B as D5
int M1 = 2; // set the direction pin of motor A as D2
int M2 = 4; // set the direction pin of motor B as D4
        
void setup(void)
{
  pinMode(M1,OUTPUT); // set M1 as OUTPUT mode
  pinMode(M2,OUTPUT); // set M2 as OUTPUT mode
  pinMode(E1,OUTPUT); //  set E1 as OUTPUT mode
  pinMode(E2,OUTPUT); //  set E2 as OUTPUT mode
}
void advance(void)        // set the forward motion
{
  digitalWrite(M1,HIGH);  // motor A turns forward, the wheel will go forward.
  digitalWrite(M2,HIGH);  // motor B turns forward, the wheel will go forward. 
  analogWrite(E1,150);    // speed of motor A(can be adjusted according to the actual speed of motor. Turn up the value to accelerate, lower the value to decelerate.) 
  analogWrite(E2,150);    // speed of motor B(can be adjusted according to the actual speed of motor. Turn up the value to accelerate, lower the value to decelerate.) 
}  
void back(void)        // set the backward motion
{
 digitalWrite(M1,LOW);   // motor A turns reverse and the wheel will go backward
 digitalWrite(M2, LOW);   //  motor B turns reverse and the wheel will go backward
 analogWrite(E1,150);     //  speed of motor A
 analogWrite(E2, 150);    //  speed of motor B
}  

void turnL(void)     // set the left turn 
{
   digitalWrite(M1,LOW);    // motor A turns reverse and the wheel will go backward 
   digitalWrite(M2, HIGH);  // motor B turns forward and the wheel goes forward, the smart car will turn left.
   analogWrite(E1,150);  // speed of motor A
   analogWrite(E2, 150);  // speed of motor B
}

void turnR(void)            //  set the right turn 
{
   digitalWrite(M1,HIGH);   // motor A turns forward and the wheel will go forward 
   digitalWrite(M2,LOW);    // motor B turns reverse and the wheel goes backward, the smart car will turn right.
   analogWrite(E1,150);     // speed of motor A
   analogWrite(E2, 150);    // speed of motor B
}

void stopp(void)   // set the STOP
{
   digitalWrite(M1,LOW);  // motor A turns reverse
   digitalWrite(M2, LOW);  //  motor B turns reverse
   analogWrite(E1, 0);      //  speed of motor A, speed as zero, means stop
   analogWrite(E2, 0);      // speed of motor B, speed as zero, means stop
}

{

}


Test Result:
Stack well the drive shield onto UNO R3 board, and upload the above code to the board, then press down the POWER button, you should see the motor go forward for one second, backward one second, then turn left for one second, turn right for one second and stop one second, alternately repeating.

3) Line Tracking Turtle

Ks0364 - line track .jpg

Project Overview:
In the previous sections, you have learned the principles and applications of both tracking module and the motor drive shield. After master that knowledge, let’s combine these two modules to make the turtle with line tracking function.
So first what does line tracking mean? It refers to following the line trajectory. For instance, the smart robot will always follow or track the black line.
The principle is using the tracking sensor to detect the black track on the pavement, and detection signal will feed back to ARDUINO main control board. Then main control board will analyze and judge the collected signals to control and drive the motor in time, thus can adjust the turning direction of turtle robot.
That is why the turtle robot can automatically follow the black track, achieving the automatic line tracking function.
This technology has been applied to many areas such as driverless vehicles, unmanned factories, warehouses, and service robots.


Project Principle:
Using the characteristic that black has low reflectivity to light.
When flat surface is not black, the infrared light transmitted by the sensor will be reflected back mostly, so the sensor outputs low level 0.
When the flat surface has a black line and the sensor is above the black line, the reflected infrared light is very less due to the weak reflectivity of black, so it does not reach the action level and sensor outputs high level 1.
Use the main control board to determine whether the output end of sensor is 0 or 1, finally detect the black line. The main control board will control the turning direction of motor according to the received signal, so finally can control the movement of smart car. This is a simple line tracking robot.


Wiring Diagram:
Connect the tracking sensor, two motors and battery pack to the motor drive shield as follows.
thumb


Example Code 8:
Wire it up well as the above diagram. Okay, let’s move on to write the test code. Think about the code logic.
There are two kinds of tracking sensor’s states as follows:
1.The middle tracking sensor detects a black line, if the sensor on the left side detects a white line, while the sensor on the right side detects a black line, the smart car will turn right.
On the contrary, if the sensor on the right detects a white line, but the left one detects a black line, the smart car will turn left. If both sides detect a white line or a black line, it will go forward.

2.The middle tracking sensor does not detect a black line, if the sensor on the left side detects a white line, while the sensor on the right side detects a black line, the smart car will turn right.
On the contrary, if the sensor on the right detects a white line, but the left one detects a black line, the smart car will turn left. If three sensors all detect a white line, it will stop.

Well, figure out the logic, then combine the example code of motor driving mentioned in the above section, you can have a try to write out the logic of line tracking.

#define INT_A 2 // define the left motor direction pin D2
#define INT_B 4 // define the right motor direction pin D4
#define left_A 9 // define the left motor speed(PWM)pin D9
#define right_B 5 // define the right motor speed(PWM)D5

const int S1 = 8;  // S1 right tracking sensor control pin to D8
const int S2 = 7;  // S2 middle tracking sensor control pin to D7
const int S3 = 6;  // S3 left tracking sensor control pin to D6
int s1,s2,s3;   //define three variables, separately receive the digital value read by 3-channel tracking sensor (0 or 1)


void setup() 
{  
  Serial.begin(9600);    //set the monitor baud rate to 9600
  delay(100);       //delay 100ms

}

void loop() 
{
    s1 = digitalRead(S1); //assign the digital value read from pin S1,S2,S3 to s1,s2,s3
    s2 = digitalRead(S2);
    s3 = digitalRead(S3);
    
    if(s2==1)  //if s2 pin detects a black line
    {
      if(s3==1 && s1==0)  //if s3 pin detects a black line but s1 doesn’t 
      {
        left();     // turn left
      }
      else if(s3==0 && s1==1)  //if s3 does not detect a black line, but s1 detects it.
      {
        right();   //turn right 
      }
      else      //other situations
      {
        front();   // go forward
      }
    }
  
    else  //s2 does not detect a black line 
    {
      if(s3==1&&s1==0)  //if s3 detects a black line 
      {
        left();     //turn left
      }
      else if(s3==0&&s1==1)  //s1 detects a black line
      {
        right();    // turn right
      }
      else  // none detect black line
      {
        Stop();      // stop
      }
    }
    
}

{
  digitalWrite(INT_A,LOW);    // control the left motor turn forward
  digitalWrite(INT_B,LOW);   // control the right motor turn forward
  analogWrite(left_A,200);   // set the motor speed(PWM=200)
  analogWrite(right_B,200); 
}
//backward
void back()  
{
  digitalWrite(INT_A,HIGH);   // control the left motor turn backward 
  digitalWrite(INT_B,HIGH);    // control the right motor turn backward
  analogWrite(left_A,200);   
  analogWrite(right_B,200);
}
//turn left
void left()
{
  digitalWrite(INT_A,HIGH);    // control the left motor turn backward
  digitalWrite(INT_B,LOW);    // control the right motor turn forward
  analogWrite(left_A,100);    // motors speed(PWM为100)
  analogWrite(right_B,100);
}
// turn right 
void right()
{
  digitalWrite(INT_A,LOW);     // control the left motor turn forward
  digitalWrite(INT_B,HIGH);     // control the right motor turn backward 
  analogWrite(left_A,100);
  analogWrite(right_B,100);
}
// stop
void Stop()
{
  digitalWrite(INT_A,LOW);  
  digitalWrite(INT_B,LOW);
  analogWrite(left_A,0);    // both side PWM is 0
  analogWrite(right_B,0);
}

Project 3: Turtle Robot Avoiding Obstacles


1) Principle and Application of Ultrasonic Module

KS0313 3-2-1.png

Description:
There is an animal called bat in nature. The bats can fly at night, not depend on its eyes, but on its ears and vocal organs. When the bat flies, it will emit a scream, an ultrasonic signal that humans cannot hear because of its high audio frequency. If these ultrasonic signals hit other objects on the flight path, they will be reflected back immediately. After receive the returned information, the bats complete the whole process of listening, seeing, calculating and bypassing obstacles during the flutter.

The principle of the ultrasonic rangefinder module is as the same as the above principle.
The ultrasonic module will emit the ultrasonic waves after trigger signal. When the ultrasonic waves encounter the object and are reflected back, the module outputs an echo signal, so it can determine the distance of object from the time difference between trigger signal and echo signal.
Ultrasonic sensor has a wide range of sensitivity, no blind area, and no interference with obstacles.


As the following picture shown, it is our keyestudio ultrasonic module. You can see it has two somethings like eyes. One is transmitting end, the other is receiving end.

thumb thumb


TECH SPECS:

  • Operating Voltage: 5V(DC)
  • Operating Current: 15mA
  • Operating Frequency: 40khz
  • Maximum Detection Distance: 3-5m
  • Minimum Detection Distance: 3-4cm
  • Sensing Angle: less than 15 degrees


Hookup Guide:
Connect the ultrasonic module to the shield. Shown as below.
thumb


【Notice:】
1.Must first connect the ultrasonic module and then power up. Or connect the ground first.
2.Measurement period is better at more than 60ms. To prevent the impact of the transmitted signal to the echo signal.

When using it:
(1) Use IO trigger ranging, at least 10us HIGH level signal; that is, first pull the Trip Low, then give a HIGH level signal of 10us.
(2) The module automatically sends eight square waves of 40khz to automatically detect whether there is a signal return back;
(3) There is a signal return, through the IO output a High level, and the duration period of High level is the time of Ultrasonic wave from emission to return.
Test distance = (High level time * speed of sound (340M/S))/2
Then you can get the formula: detection distance = (High level time/58)(cm)


Example Code 9:

int pinTrip=12;// connect the SR04 Trip , give more than 10us High level
int pinEcho=13;// connect the Echo pin , the time to receive the High level
float distance=0;// save the distance
void setup() {
// put your setup code here, to run once:
pinMode(pinTrip,OUTPUT);
pinMode(pinEcho,INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
digitalWrite(pinTrip,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2); // pull down Level
digitalWrite(pinTrip,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(12);// give 12us High level
digitalWrite(pinTrip,LOW);// pull down Level
distance=pulseIn(pinEcho,HIGH);// check the High level time
delay(10);
distance=distance/58; // get the distance
Serial.print("distance=");
Serial.print(distance);
Serial.println("cm");
delay(500);
}


Test Result:
Stack well the shield on UNO R3 board, and upload well the above code, then open the serial monitor of Arduino IDE, set the baud rate to 9600. When ultrasonic sensor detects an obstacle ahead, on the monitor you should see the distance measured between obstacle and sensor. Shown below.

2) Micro Servo Control


thumb
Description:
Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor.
  Included with your servo motor you will find a variety of white motor mounts that connect to the shaft of your servo. You may choose to attach any mount you wish for the circuit. It will serve as a visual aid, making it easier to see the servo spin.

Working principle:
The receiver or MCU outputs a signal to the servo motor. The motor has a built-in reference circuit that gives out reference signal, cycle of 20ms and width of 1.5ms. The motor compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.
Servo motors come with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange color (different brand may have different color). Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal.

thumb

When you send the right signal through the signal wire, the servo will move to a specific angle and stay there. Common servos rotate over a range of about 0° to 180°. The signal that is sent is a PWM signal.
thumb

The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM(Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of the 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°.


Parameters:

  • Operating voltage: DC 4.8V〜6V
  • Angle range: about 180°(in 500→2500μsec)
  • Pulsewidth range: 500→2500μsec
  • 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)
  • Stop 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)
  • Operation temperature: -10℃〜50℃
  • Save temperature: -20℃〜60℃
  • Motor wire length: 250 ± 5 mm
  • Dimensions: 22.9mm*12.2mm*30mm
  • Weight: 9± 1 g (without servo mounts)


Hookup Guide:
Ready to start hooking everything up? Check out the connection diagram below. Connect the black servo to the shield. Brown wire is for GND, red one for 5V pin, orange one for signal pin.
thumb


You can check out the test code for the servo below.

Code 10:

int servopin=3;// define the digital 9 is connected to servo signal line 
int myangle;// define the angle variable
int pulsewidth;// define the pulsewidth variable
int val;
void setup()
{
pinMode(servopin,OUTPUT);// set the servo interface as OUTPUT
Serial.begin(9600);// connect to serial port, baud rate to 9600
Serial.println("servo=o_seral_simple ready" );
servopulse(servopin,90);// call the pulse function, make the servo rotate to 90degree
} 
void loop()
{
  servopulse(servopin,90);// call the pulse function, make the servo rotate to 90degree
}
void servopulse(int servopin,int myangle)// define a pulse function 
{
pulsewidth=(myangle*11)+500;// convert the angle into pulse width of 500-2480 
digitalWrite(servopin,HIGH);// set the servo pin to HIGH 
delayMicroseconds(pulsewidth);// delay the microseconds of pulsewidth
digitalWrite(servopin,LOW);// set the servo pin to LOW
delay(20-pulsewidth/1000);
}


Test Result:
Wire it up and upload well the code, press down the reset button on the shield, micro servo will rotate to the angle of 90 degrees.

3) Turtle Robot Avoiding Obstacles

Description:
It is rather not suitable for human to work in some relatively harsh environments. At this moment, if we have a robot that can shuttle freely in such environments, then how good should it be!
Based on this original intention, our team develop the robot that be able to automatically avoid an obstacle when running on complicated terrain.

Ks0364 avoid.jpg

This project is a simple and automatic obstacle avoidance system based on Arduino control board.
The smart robot with UNO R3 as the controlling core, makes use of ultrasonic module and micro servo of 180 degrees to detect the obstacles, and the detection signal will feed back to the control board.
Arduino main board will then analyze and judge the collected signals to control the motordriving in time. Finally control the smart car automatically avoid an obstacle ahead to run forward smoothly.


Project Principle:

  • 1. Use the ultrasonic module to detect the distance between the robot and obstacle ahead.
  • 2. When the measured distance between ultrasonic sensor and obstacle ahead is less than 15cm, smart robot will stop for 100ms. The ultrasonic will make use of servo to turn left in 90 degrees, and stop for 100ms to detect the obstacle distance on the left. Then use the servo to turn right in 180 degrees, stop to detect the obstacle distance on the right.
  • 3. If the distance measured at the left side is greater than that of the right side, ultrasonic sensor will first turn to the front, turtle robot turns left in 90 degrees and then goes forward.
  • Otherwise, turtle robot will turn right in 90 degrees and then go forward.
  • 4. Arduino control board will control the motor’s rotating direction and servo angle according to the distance value measured by ultrasonic sensor between robot and obstacle.

Project 4: Infrared Remote Control Robot

1) Principle and Application of Infrared Receiver

Principle of IR Remote Control:

KS0364 - 图片8.png

There is no doubt that infrared remote control is commonly seen in our daily life. It's hard to imagine our world without it.
In reality, an infrared remote control can be used to control a wide range of home appliances such as television, audio, video recorders and satellite signal receivers. It is so practical. Well, in the following let’s get a better understanding of the infrared remote control.
Infrared remote control is composed of infrared transmitting and infrared receiving systems. That is, consist of an infrared remote control, an infrared receiver module and a microcontroller that can decode. You can refer to the figure below.

thumb

The 38K infrared carrier signal transmitted by an infrared remote controller is encoded by an encoding chip inside the remote controller. It is composed of a pilot code, user code, data code, and data inversion code.
The time interval between pulses is used to distinguish whether it is a signal 0 or 1. (when the ratio of high level to low level is about 1:1, considered as signal 0.) And the encoding is just well composed of signal 0 and 1.

The user code of the same button on remote controller is unchanged. Using difference data distinguish the key pressed on the remote control.
When press down a button on the remote control, it will send out an infrared carrier signal. And when infrared receiver receives that signal, its program will decode the carrier signal, and through different data codes, thus can judge which key is pressed.
The microcontroller is decoded by an received signal 0 or 1 to determine which key is pressed by the remote control.


As for an infrared receiver module, it is mainly composed of an infrared receiving head. This device integrates with reception, amplification and demodulation. Its internal IC has been demodulated, able to complete all the work from infrared reception to output TTL level signal compatible. It outputs Digital signal. Suitable for IR remote control and infrared data transmission.
The infrared receiver module has only three pins (Signal line, VCC, GND), very convenient to communicate with Arduino and other microcontrollers.
thumb


Parameters of IR Receiver:

  • 1)Operating Voltage: 3.3-5V(DC)
  • 2)Interface: 3PIN
  • 3)Output Signal: Digital signal
  • 4)Receiving Angle: 90 degrees
  • 5)Frequency: 38khz
  • 6)Receiving Distance: 18m


Decoding and Control of IR Remote Control:
First of all, let’s figure out the decoding. You can refer to the steps as follows:
Step 1: Connect the infrared receiver module to the P3 connector on the shield using the connector wire.

thumb

Step 2: Download the libraries of infrared remote control inside the Arduino Libraries directory.
thumb

The infrared remote control libraries include transmitting and receiving functions of remote control, so that you just need to call the internal functions to control the remote control. You can download the libraries from here: [1] thumb IRremote.zip


Step 3: Open the Arduino IDE, upload the code to read the value of remote control.

thumb

Code 12:

#include <IRremote.h> // library file
int RECV_PIN = 15;  //receiver module is connected to A1,namely Digital 15
IRrecv irrecv(RECV_PIN);
decode_results results;
void setup()
{
  Serial.begin(9600); // set the baud rate
  irrecv.enableIRIn(); // Start the receiver
}
void loop() {
  if (irrecv.decode(&results)) {  // if receive the code
    Serial.println(results.value, HEX);  // print the value of remote control
    irrecv.resume(); // Receive the next value
  }
}

Code to Note:
Before verify the above code in ArduinoIDE, do remember to add IRremote folder into \Arduino\compiler libraries directory, or it will fail to compile it.


Step 4: Upload well the above code to ARDUINO controller, then open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600. Aimed at the IR receiver sensor, press down the button of remote control, you will see the corresponding encode of button is displayed on the monitor. If you press the button too long, it will easily appear a messy code like FFFFFF shown as below.
thumb

Below we have listed out each button value of keyestudio remote control. You can keep it for reference.
thumb

Next, let’s use the remote control to make a small experiment. Use the remote control to make 8*8 dot matrix display different images.


Hookup Guide:
Connect the IR receiver and dot matrix to the shield as the figure shown below:
thumb


Below is an example code.
Code 13:
Note: Before test the code, should add the dot matrix and IR receiver libraries to the Arduino libraries directory. If you have added them before, directly compile and upload the code below to Arduino software.

What you will see?
Upload the above code to the board, and turn on the POWER button on the shield. Aligned with the IR receiver, use remote control to control the turtle robot run, showing the running states on the dot matrix display.

2) Infrared Control Turtle Robot

Overview:
In the previous section, we have introduced how to use an IR remote control to control a 8*8 dot matrix. So think that how to control the smart robot with an IR remote control.
It is very simple. Use ARDUINO board to analyze and judge the collected infrared signal so as to drive the motor forward,backward and turn. You can apply the decoding value of remote control mentioned before to the code that used to control the robot with IR remote control. It also adds a 8*8 dot matrix to display the running state of turtle robot.


Wiring Diagram:

Next let’s look back to the decoding value of IR remote control.

You can get the details:

  • Forward button: 0x00FF629D
  • Backward button: 0x00FFA857
  • Stop button: 0x00FF02FD
  • Left button: 0x00FF22DD
  • Right Button: 0x00FFC23D

You can apply those data to the code of infrared controlled robot.

Project 5: Bluetooth Controlled Robot


1) Principle and Application of Bluetooth Remote Control


Bluetooth, as the name implies, blue teeth, and he is not used to bite people, but a wireless data transmission method. Bluetooth technology is a wireless standard technology that enables short-range data exchange among fixed devices, mobile devices, and personal area networks of buildings (UHF radio waves in the ISM band of 2.4 to 2.485 GHz).
There are two kinds of commonly used Bluetooth module on the market, HC-05 and HC-06 models. The difference between them is that the HC-05 is a master-slave one.
It can not only make small reports to its own “master”, but also can receive the command given to it. The HC-06 can only work in slave mode, which can only accept the superior command. For instance, in many cases you may want to be an overbearing man, letting the subordinates obey the order without any nonsense. So in such situation, it is enough to use the HC-06 module shown as below.

Test Code 15:

int val;  
int led=11;
void setup() 
{ 
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(11,OUTPUT);
}
 void loop()
{ val=Serial.read(); 
if(val=='U')
 { 
 digitalWrite(11, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
 }
if(val=='D')
 { 
 digitalWrite(11, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
 }
 }


After wiring, upload the above code to the board, and connect the Bluetooth module. Pay more attention to the connecting direction. Plug it correctly and you should see an LED on the module flash.

Pay special attention to:
You must first upload the code to the board and then plug in the Bluetooth module, otherwise the program fails to compile. Because the data transmits of Bluetooth module will occupy the microcontroller’s TX and RX pins that are also used for the code upload of microcontroller, it exists a conflict.

After uploading the code, you have to do another thing, that is, install an application of Bluetooth serial assistant on the phone.

You can click the link below to download the Bluetooth serial assistant:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D16V4HZ5H6k7p1-NMCqb0JRy_dl5tvuC


The Bluetooth we used here is Bluetooth 2.0. Currently, it only supports the Android devices. Do not support Apple devices. Please pay attention to this when using it.
After the serial assistant is installed, must first connect the device, open the mobile Bluetooth, search for a Bluetooth device. If find a Bluetooth device named HC-06, pair and enter 1234, finally you should see the paired device shown as below.
thumb thumb thumb


Then open the Bluetooth serial communication APP, namely BT Client, and connect well the Bluetooth just paired.
Done connecting, an LED on the Bluetooth module is always on. If enter the letter U in the Bluetooth APP, the LED connected on the pin 11is on; if enter the letter D, the LED is off.

2) Bluetooth Controlled Turtle Robot

In the previous section, you have learned the principles of Bluetooth and how to use Bluetooth to control a small light. Okay, based on that, could we use Bluetooth to send a command to control the robot run?
Absolutely yeah. In the previous section, we can use a mobile APP to send a character. Use a Bluetooth module to receive the Bluetooth signal from the mobile phone, and feed it back to the main control board. Then main control board will analyze and judge the collected signals. If correct, it will control the robot run.
Here we don't need a Bluetooth serial assistant as mentioned above. Just use an Android APP developed by our keyestudio team to control the robot.

KS0313 5-2-1.png

You can click the link to download the APP:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1g-bwP1SyJVfQseywRORQ6rOJOVd3JU5i


The interface of this APP is very simple, as shown below.
thumb


Connected the Bluetooth, let’s make use of a little program that can read the serial data, to check what character the five buttons send. Then apply them to the example code for Bluetooth robot in the following projects.

Test Code 16:

char val; // define the variable val
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);// set the baud rate as 9600, the same as software setting. When connecting the particular device like Bluetooth, it should be consistent with the baud rate of other devices.  
}
void loop()
{
val=Serial.read();//read the data received from serial port, and assign it to val
Serial.println(val);// print val data
delay(300);//delay 0.3S
}


Through the above program, we can get that five buttons are Upward (“U”), Downward (“D”), Left (“L”), Right (“R”), and Stop (“S”). The principle is very simple.
When Bluetooth module receives these characters sent by the mobile phone, and then it will send them to ARDUINO. ARDUINO will control the rotation direction of motor according to the preset value in the code.
When receive the information "U", smart robot will move forward. When receive "D", it goes backward. If receive "L", turn left. If receive "R", turn right. The smart car will stop when receive the "S".


Hookup Guide:
Note: Bluetooth module is directly plugged into the shield.

Project 6: 4 in 1 Complete Robot

Overview:
In the above projects, we have introduced four functions for the turtle robot, that is, line following, avoiding obstacles, IR control and Bluetooth remote control.
Now, let’s combine those functions together to make a complete robot. You can use the IR module to switch the functions.
Function switching methods:
Powered on and aligned with the IR receiver, press the number 1 on the IR remote control, the turtle robot will enter the line tracking function. Then press the key OK, it will exist the tracking function.

  • If press the number 2, enter the obstacle avoidance function, and press OK to end that function.
  • If press the number 3, enter the S line forward, and press OK to end the function.
  • If press the number 4, the robot will turn around the wheel on the left, and press OK to end the function.
  • If press the number 5, the robot will turn a circle to the left, and press OK to end the function.
  • If press the number 6, the robot will turn a circle to the right, and press OK to end the function.

When exist the function modes, be able to control the car through infrared control or Phone-Bluetooth control.

Example Result:
Done uploading the above code to control board, turn on the POWER button on the shield, then open APP, connect to Bluetooth, you should see the LED on the Bluetooth module is normally on.
Then use an IR remote control to select the function modes to make the robot run freely, showing the state image on the dot matrix display.
