Week 5 and 6: Sensors and Actuators

Week 5 and 6: Sensors and Actuators.

Date: 21 November.

In week 5 and 6 lab, we used different sensors to detect environmental changes like variation in temperature and light.

First we were introduced with servo motors. we connected it to the microcontroller kit and the power source. The connections were bit complicated for which I have used and taken help from internet sources to fix the connection and properly in servo pin 9.

Secondly, we used an ultrasonic sensor which is a device that uses sound waves to measure distance. In an Arduino Uno setup, an ultrasonic sensor typically includes a transmitter that sends out ultrasonic pulses and a receiver that listens for the echoes when those pulses bounce back from an object.
