Yuhui (Alexander) Li Lab 3

Page history last edited by xinyi xie 9 years, 8 months ago

Part A

a. How would you change the code to make the song play twice as fast?

int noteDuration = 1000/noteDurations[thisNote] <- this line determines how fast the standard note is playing. To change the duration, divide this value by a factor, in this case, 2.

b. What song is playing? ;-)

STAR WAR THEME!


Part B

a. What voltage level do you need to power your display?

4.5 V

b. What was one mistake you made when wiring up the display? How did you fix it?

Everything worked the first time~ :)

c. What line of code do you need to change to make it flash your name instead of "Hello World"?

lcd.print("Yuhui Li");

Part C

a1.

int sensorPin = A0;    // select the input pin for the potentiometer

int ledPin = 13;      // select the pin for the LED

int sensorValue = 0;  // variable to store the value coming from the sensor

 

void setup() {

  // declare the ledPin as an OUTPUT:

  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

 

void loop() {

  // read the value from the sensor:

  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);    

  analogWrite(ledPin,sensorValue/2.64); // 0-673 to 0-255

}

2a. What resistance do you see with a Multimeter when the sensor is flat? When it is bent?

~11 kOhm when the sensor is flat. When its bent, depends on which way, the value either go up to ~30 kOhm and ~9 Kohm.

2b. What kind of voltages should we expect for the Arduino analog pin based on the sensor resistance?

The analogRead from the flex sensor is from 350-500. So since Arduino change analogue 0-5V to 0-1023, the voltages are between ~1.7V to ~2.4V.

2c. How does the range of the LED's brightness change compared to the potentiometer?

The range from the potentiometer is between 0-673, which is greater.

2d. Include a copy of your Lowly Multimeter code in your lab write-up.

 

int sensorPin = A0;    // select the input pin for the potentiometer

int ledPin = 13;      // select the pin for the LED

int sensorValue = 0;  // variable to store the value coming from the sensor

 

void setup() {

  // declare the ledPin as an OUTPUT:

  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);  

  //Serial.begin(9600);

}

 

void loop() {

  // read the value from the sensor:

  sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);

  analogWrite(ledPin,(sensorValue-350)*1.7); // 350-500 to 0-255

}

3a. What resistance values do you see from your force sensor?

     0 to almost 1023

3b. What kind of relationship does the resistance have as a function of force applied? (e.g., linear?)

     It's a curve, at the beginning the resistance decreases quickly and as more and more pressure applied, the rate slows down

3c. Include a copy of your FSR thumb wrestling code in your lab write-up.

// include the library code:

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

 

// initialize the library with the numbers of the interface pins

LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

 

 

int ps1Pin = A0;

int ps2Pin = A1;

 

int i1 = 0;

int i2 = 0;

 

// the setup routine runs once when you press reset:

void setup() {      

  lcd.begin(16, 2);

  // Print a message to the LCD.

  lcd.print("hello, world!");

 

  pinMode(ps1Pin,INPUT);

  pinMode(ps2Pin,INPUT);  

  Serial.begin(9600);

}

 

// the loop routine runs over and over again forever:

void loop() {

  i1 = analogRead(ps1Pin);

  i2 = analogRead(ps2Pin);

  Serial.println(i1);

  Serial.println(i2);

  Serial.println(" ");

 

  lcd.clear();

  if (i1==i2){

    lcd.print("Even");

  }

  else if (i1<i2){

    lcd.print("Orange winning");

  }

  else  {

    lcd.print("Green winning"); //my wires are colour coded so green is for one of the buttons and orange is for another

  }

  delay(100);

}

Great job!
