Fifth Project for the course of robotics and iot
In this Project the kids will understand the working of
sensors, relay module and motors.
sensors
The sensor convert stimuli as light, heat, sound , pressure, motion into electrical signals. These signals are converted into the binary code.
Now writing a program this binary signal in the form of one or zero is used for doing different tasks .
In robotics almost every sensor has four connections. Two connections are inputs for supply plus and minus voltage and the other two are digital and analog output.
Now with our programming depending upon the output, we receive from the sensors, we switch on/off the required items
There are different sensors some of them are
IR Sensor
It gives binary code by variation of infrared rays
Temperature sensor
It gives Digital/Analog signal with temperature variation
Light Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of light
Pressure Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of pressure
Force sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of Force
Ultrasonic sensor
Works by sending a sound wave, time of sending and returning the wave is known, distance of the object can be found.
Smoke sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of Force
Gas Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of Force
Alcohol Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of amount of alcohol.
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of amount of humidity
Motion Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of motion.
Tilt Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of angle movement.
Color sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of RGB colours.
Touch sensor
Give Digital signal with touch.
Proximity sensor
Give Digital signal by detecting presence of an object.
level sensor
Give Digital signal within a specified range and determine the exact amount of substance
Acelerometer Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with of acccelration.
Vision and imaging sensor Give Digital/Analog Signal with the variation of electrons of the image received
Radiation Sensor
Give Digital/Analog Signal with the variation of amount of radiation
Position sensor
Transmitted light gives the Digital/Analog signal in according to received light
Photo Electric Sensor
Give Digital/Analog signal with variation of light.
In this touch less trolley one relay module is used
How the Relay Module Works Relay module has three connections. Two connections are for power supply , one for positive and other for the ground.
The third connection gets zero or one according to the output received from the sensor. This relay will work as a switch for the motors of the trolley. If some object comes in front of the trolley, the digital signal received from the sensor will be zero, this will switch of the motor of the trolley. Hence the trolley will stop.
