At the end of the topic you should be able to:
1. Interface a sensor/s, device/s with Arduino for data acquisition and display the data.
2. Interface Actuators with Arduino to Control motion to build an application.
3. Build a mechatronic system using Arduino, sensors, actuators and modules.
10. SENSORS
What is a sensor?
“A sensor is an object whose purpose is to detect events
or changes in its environment, and then provide a
corresponding output”.
Why do we need sensor?
• A sensor is the guy who provides data to the a system
via its input.
• We need sensor to feed data to the system and tells
the controller when to take action

11. Most used sensors for Arduino
1. Temperature + Humidity Sensor
This is a temperature/humidity sensor. It
monitors the ambient temperature or
humidity.

12. 2. IR Sensor:
• This is a multipurpose infrared sensor which can
be used for color detection.The sensor provides a
digital as well as analog output. An on board LED
is used to indicate the presence of an object. This
digital output can be directly connected to an
Arduino, Raspberry Pi or any other
microcontroller to read the sensor output.

14. //IR sensor with digital input at pin no. 2
const int IR_Sensor=2;
void setup() {
// initialize the digital pin as an output.
// Pin 13 has an LED on Arduino boards:
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
//Pin 2 is connected to the output of IR_Sensor
pinMode(IR_Sensor,INPUT);
}
void loop() {
if(digitalRead(IR_Sensor)==HIGH) //Check the sensor output
{
149/28/2020
15. digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // set the LED on
}
else
{
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // set the LED off
}
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

16. Do you remember which actuator was used in
this Access gate?
Stepper Motor
169/28/2020
18. • Stepper motors are called as Digital motor
– It takes digital input to move by a step.
• Stepper motor is specified by step angle of say
200 steps per revolution
– 1.8 degree per step
189/28/2020
19. • To move a step we need to provide a digital
input sequence to windings.
• The sequence for bipolar/unipolar is
1000 // 1st step
0100 // 2nd step
0010 // 3rd step
0001 // 4th step
1000 // repeat of sequence for 5th step

20. Activity 2.1
Type : Team of 2 Duration : 30 Minutes
Write a program to run stepper motor in
clockwise direction

22. /*
Stepper Motor Control - one revolution
This program drives a unipolar or bipolar stepper motor.
The motor is attached to digital pins 8 - 11 of the Arduino.
The motor should revolve one revolution in one direction, then
one revolution in the other direction.
*/
#include <Stepper.h>
const int stepsPerRevolution = 200; // change this to fit the number of steps per
revolution
// for your motor
// initialize the stepper library on pins 8 through 11:
Stepper myStepper(stepsPerRevolution, 8, 9, 10, 11);
229/28/2020
23. Contd..
void setup() {
// set the speed at 60 rpm:
myStepper.setSpeed(60);
// initialize the serial port:
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// step one revolution in one direction:
Serial.println("clockwise");
myStepper.step(stepsPerRevolution);
delay(500);//Without delay stepper motor will rotate continuosly
}
