Microprocessor Systems Engineering Assignment

Lab A: Using Sensors with an Arduino

Procedure:

• Watch the following youtube videos Tutorial:

o "Tutorial 03 for Arduino: Electrical Engineering Basics"
o "Tutorial 04 for Arduino: Analog Inputs"
o "TechBits 13 - Analog and Digital Signals"

• Construct the breadboard circuit and implement the program presented in the video to create an adaptable night light and detailed in Chapter 2 (pp.35-39) of your textbook.

Lab B:

Procedure:

This lab will simulate the coffee maker heater functionality we saw. The difference in our program and the actual coffee maker is that instead of turning on a heating element, our program will blink an LED.

• Design a circuit and Arduino program that expands the concepts explained in Chapter 3 ( pp. 52- 59) of your textbook and accomplishes the following:

o Blinks an LED when the temperature of a temperature sensor is at or below room temperature for more than 5 seconds
o If the temperature exceeds room temperature for more than 5 seconds, the LED will turn off.

• Include a video of your circuit in operation and any computer screenshots during its operation. Please include your Grantham ID number in the video to show your work.

• Send your code file (.ino) of the lab completed and operational as well for credit.

Analysis/Discussion:

• Explain the process you used in this lab to arrive at the final design of both the hardware portion and the software portion to achieve the design objectives.

• Investigate how a temperature sensor such as the TMP36 used in this lab works. In other words, describe the relationship between the values read from this device and how it correlates to temperature.

• Why is this device also referred to as a "transducer"? What are some other common types of transducers that you are familiar with?

• Measure the output voltage of the TMP36 at the point at which the program turns the LED off with a digital multi-meter. Take a picture of the digital multi-meter to verify that proper measurement has been made.

• How does the previous measurement compare to the information found in the following plot of output voltage versus temperature?

• Answer these questions and submit with code and screenshots of your circuit and program.
