Week 10.1 - A3 - Servo Sensor?

SERVO OR NO?

The below video is my attempt at trying to figure out how I could potentially use the servo in my assessment. My aim is to try and use the servo to maybe twist or rotate my device that I attach to the bathroom, the toilet? My concept is at its very early stages and is quite hard to narrow down.


I feel I might need more than one servo or look at the use of other sensors, such as a water pump, a gear motor that was suggested to me last week. I find its quite hard to figure out the sensors that will be needed in order for my concept to progress.

Ultrasonic not PIR

Ultrasonic for the Win  To detect motion in order to set off the warning 'growls', I have looked at using a PIR sensor.  While I can use it, I have been advised by the world's best tutor, i.e. James (See James I am a nice person!) that it's not the best sensor to use and would basically be a massive pain trying to code and deal with its delicate sensibilities. To instead use an ultrasonic sensor to detect motion etc. They are easier to code and will get the job just as good. Basically, the moral of the post, is to avoid PIR and always listen to your Tutors, they know what's best!

Arduino Coding - Tech W5

 In class, I wanted to explore the tilt switch sensor as I want to use it in my design, but not sure how to work it.  I used the project 8 example, from DFRobot, the Vibration sensor, to introduce myself to how it works. The video demonstrated a good way to use the tilt switch and the LED light to show its been turned on or off. The code needs working on to make it easier for me. I need to find more examples of the tilt switch sensor being used.

Arduino Coding - Ultrasonic Experiment x2

My second experiment with the ultrasonic sensor went a lot better than I thought it would. This tutorial came from the Arduino website:  Arduino Distance Detector With a Buzzer and LED's In the below video, we can actually see an interaction where the closer you are to the sensor the higher you here the buzz, with different warning sounds as well as the lights that show three warnings!
