Arduino – Lecture
Arduino Light Meter
Lab Overview In this circuit, a 5v Arduino pro-micro is programmed with a short internal arm timer after completion of the timer. The Arduino then reads the ambient light utilizing the LDR. As light conditions vary, the respective voltage drop across R8 is read through one of the Arduino’s Analog Pins (AO). Internally the pro-micro […]
Odessa Device
Lab Overview This circuit is designed to be used in a Category A Scenario for Hand Entry training. U1 acts as the device’s brain, while U3 is an accelerometer on a ‘breakout board’ taking inertial measurements and feeding them back to U1. The circuit operates as an anti-disturbance device. That can be used in a […]
Arduino DTMF
Lab Overview The Dual Tone Multi-Frequency (DTMF) requires four digits to operate, one number to arm the device, and three numbers sequentially (they have to happen in order) to fire. The numbers selected are hard coded but can be changed by making edits to the code. There is no safe-to-arm switch, no internal timer. The […]
328P NCNO
Lab Overview After a coded arm timer, The microcontroller reads the state of the NC/NO open input and writes it to memory. The microcontroller then checks the voltage on the pin periodically until it detects a change of state. If the pin changes from low to high or high to low the device fires. The […]
ATTINY 85 Light Meter
Lab Overview Similar to the Arduino Light meter, this circuit fires when light reaches a selected level. A shift register was used to drive the LEDs since the ATTINY85 does not have enough digital pins to drive 7 LEDs. Tools / Parts / Test Equipment Soldering Iron Helping Hands Solder Multimeter
