- 29. The PING exercise •Use the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor to dim an LED depending on its distance from a wall. Print the distance in the Serial Monitor. • Applying HIGH signal to “Trig” for 10μs produces an ultrasonic pulse • Then, “Echo” is turned HIGH for the same duration it took the pulse to travel back and forth • Help: • Sound travels in a speed of 0.0343cm/μs • pulseIn(pin, HIGH/LOW) blocks until pin turns HIGH/LOW, waits until it switches to the other state, returns the microseconds it stayed HIGH/LOW • delayMicroseconds(int micros) is used for precision delay • ECHO needs to be normalized to LOW for 2μs before PINGing
- 30. The Servo Exercise •Use a potentiometer to control the rotation of a Servo motor • Help: • Connect the potentiometer like we did on the Analog example • A Servo motor uses 3 wires, 2 for power and a signal • Use the Servo library, find examples inside the IDE and documentation on arduino.cc (It is a native library)
- 31. One step further •Connecting to the Internet (IoT) • WiFi library -> TCP and UDP protocols • Acting as a webserver / Online communication • Connecting to Bluetooth • ArduinoBLE library • Advanced Lighting • WS2812B LEDs • NeoPixel library / FastLED library • Programming different processors • ATtiny84/ATtiny85 • ESP8266/ESP32 • Interacting with other languages (Python/Processing)
