Servo Motor and Ultrasonic Sensor in Action - Toll Gate Project


Arduino Code:

#include <Servo.h>

int redLed = 13;
int triggerPin = 3;
int echoPin = 4;
int servoPin1 = 7;
int servoPin2 = 10;
int yellowLed = 2;
Servo myServo1;
Servo myServo2;


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(redLed, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(yellowLed, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(triggerPin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
  myServo1.attach(servoPin1);
  myServo2.attach(servoPin2);
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  long duration, distance;
  digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  digitalWrite(triggerPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(10);
  digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);
  
  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
  distance = (duration/2) / 29.1;
  Serial.print("Distance: ");
  Serial.println(distance);
  if (distance < 20) {
    digitalWrite(redLed,LOW);
    digitalWrite(yellowLed, HIGH);
    myServo1.write(90);
    myServo2.write(90);
   } 
  else {
    digitalWrite(redLed,HIGH);
    digitalWrite(yellowLed, LOW);
    myServo1.write(0);
    myServo2.write(180);
  }

Robotics & Electronics Awareness Bootcamp

Date / Time / Venue

January 21, 2017 - 12.15pm-1.45pm

Ashburn Library
Hay Road, Ashburn, VA

RSVP at: https://goo.gl/forms/dt2aIBHt9suxaBhA2




Vision:

Create awareness and bring an avenue where kids can learn the basics of electronics in order to build robotic and Internet of Things (IoT) gadgets.

Mission:

Make the state of the art (science and technology) available and accessible for the kids with proper education curriculum that is focused on fundamentals. The establishment of a very strong academics, practical lab experience along with awareness will motivate the kids to bring their dreams to reality.

Overview:


  • Use Arduino and Raspberry Pi Microcontrollers
  • Programming Techniques (Sketch, Python, Java etc,.)
  • Introduction to electronics using simulation software
  • Materials

Core Benefits:

  • Enrich STEAM (Science, Tech, Engg, Art and Math)
  • Help to achieve good grades for Tech Ed (Tech Eduction)
  • Opportunity to touch, feel, use and build IoT
  • Build Robotics Projects (use of motors, sensors etc.,) 
  • Enrich analytical, tactical and logical skills

Eligible Kids:

Listen and follow guidelines (K2 and Above)

Educator:
