Introduction

A load cell is a transducer used to convert a physical quantity (force) to electrical quantity (voltage). A strain gage is one of the commonest types of load cells. In these types of load cells, gages are connected to a structure that bends on the application of a force. A Wheatstone bridge circuit is a four type strain traducer that gives a maximum sensitivity as well as temperature compensation (Westwood 38). A quarter or half bridge are used to perform the same purpose. In the Wheatstone bridge device, two gages are under tension while the other two are in ...

Sensors detect an input event and control an output event. The output often requires different timing than that of the input event. Sometimes several inputs must jointly produce an output event. In other words, logic alters the raw sensor signal so that it is directly useful for controlling local action in response to sensed events (Ouzounov et al., 2006). A sensor is an interactive application; it expresses interest in an event by defining a sensitive ‘region' and an event type. For example, if a sensor wishes to receive events directed to a geographical object, it can define its region ...

This chapter consists of project testing and results as well as the problems faced during the project completion.

I2C Communication between Raspberry Pi and Arduino After connecting the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino through I2C, the environment on the Raspberry Pi is set up. The Raspberry Pi identifies Arduino Uno by detecting the slave address sent by Arduino Uno. The slave address is set through the uploaded program code on the Arduino. The following test was conducted for testing the I2C bus between the Raspberry Pi and the Arduino. The address was set to 00×04. Below is the result when i2cdetect –y 1 is typed allowing the Raspberry Pi to detect the connected slaves through I2C. ...

Introduction

It is important for every mobile robot to possess the ability to navigate in target environment. Navigation can be described here as the robotic system’s ability to identify its own position in an unknown area with respect to some reference point and then move to its target position. In order to navigate in its environment and reach target position correctly, an efficient control system should be designed. The aim of this project is to design and implement a mobile robot localisation and control.The mobile robot is developed with the ability of:

Localisation System

For a positioning system, it is required ...

Hardware After the completion of the research process, we worked on listing the required components and ordering them. We also drew a circuit diagram of the project hardware. After receiving the required components for outline of the project, we started working on it by connecting the Arduino UNO. In the beginning, we had to link the Arduino UNO with LED and LCD screens based on the breadboard and wire jumper. We performed the test to verify the validity of the connection between Arduino and various other components.

Later, we linked the Arduino to keypads and a buzzer and tested and checked them out.

Next, we made another Arduino with the same equipment ...

In the first week, we set out to make preparations for our project. Our first step was to search the Internet for resources to help us in the group project. Also, we researched about the useful components that could turn out useful for our idea. During the second week, we received two Arduino boards and one LCD screen. We ordered two HC-05 Bluetooth shields and more LCD screens. We researched different types of keyboards/keypads that could be used for the project. In addition, we also looked for different ways to connect the Arduinos via Bluetooth and ...

Final Weekly Report

Introduction In the efforts of trying to familiarize ourselves with microcontrollers through the Arduino prototyping board, we came up with a simple design project that we executed in a span of five weeks. The design project was about controlling an Arduino board through Bluetooth using the HC-05 Bluetooth module. The project included the Arduino Uno prototyping board, HC-05 Bluetooth module, 16x2 LCD screen and the 4x4 keypad. In this report, a detailed step by step description of what took place in the five weeks has been clearly stated under each week. In the first week, we did thorough preparations ...

Abstract

The objective of this project is to create a pair of devices that are capable of cummunicating with each other through the Bluetooth module. Each device would have to send a text, tone and ping to the other and be able to receive the same in return. The Arduino uno Board is the microcontroller that is generally used to control any hardware project. It is very flexible and quite easy to use, which makes it possible for many different tasks to be carried out. For our project, we chose Arduino uno as our starting point because it has 14 ...

Introduction

Numerous electrical applications require an inverter, which converts Direct Current (DC) to Alternating Current (AC) power. Some of these applications require the stepping down of voltage levels when realizing this conversion, which signifies that the input DC power is greater than the AC power. Conversely, certain applications require the opposite: to step up voltage when performing the power conversion, which means that the input DC power is lower than the AC power. These requirements can be met through the use of Voltage Source Inverters and Current Source Inverters, respectively. However, some particular applications require to step down voltage for ...

Introduction

The Raspberry Pi is a cheap, compact computer about the size of a credit card, intended to drive teaching and learning of computers in schools, which has found numerous related and diverse applications. It can support word processing, spreadsheets, which can play high definition videos and games. The tiny computer can support a complete operating system as other personal computers, which gives it the ability and functionality that is more powerful compared to phones and portable computing devices of the same size (Brodkin, 2013). This is the reason why more research is continuing in order to increase the power and application of ...

Simply stating, Arduino is a tool designed to guide in the teaching of electronics. It is basically made up of ATTinyxx or ATMega microchips on a board with USB connectivity to make it easy for the transfer of sketches to the microchip without prior programming knowledge by the user. The USB can function as a power cable although it has an alternate 5V power supply system such as that of a mobile phone. Arduino has only plug in headers for connection with other devices. It lacks an operating system but the microchip is build with a boot loader that allows the reading of C# ...
