There are two parts to this sensor. The first is the LEDs, which get connected in parallel to a digital output pin so the Arduino can turn them on and off. The reason for this is that the Arduino will actually be taking two light reading measurements.
In order to do this, we obviously need to be able to toggle the LEDs. The second part of the sensor is the photocell which gets connected to an analog input pin. The photocell is a resistive sensor, meaning that the resistance changes depending on how much light hits it.
We are going to use the Arduino analog pin to measure a change in voltage when the sensor is in use. However, the sensor is resistive and by itself, will not change the amount of voltage reaching the pin. To do this we need to create a special arrangement of components called a voltage divider.
A voltage divider is basically two resistors in series between power and ground. The midpoint between the two resistors is a voltage that ranges between the highest voltage in the circuit 5V in our case and ground. This voltage is determined by the ratio between the two resistors.
If we replace one of the resistors with a photocell or photoresistor , the voltage at the midpoint of these two resistors will fluctuate depending on how much light is at the sensor.
If we then connect this midpoint to an Arduino analog pin, we can take a reading of the voltage present. In doing this, we have converted the fluctuations in the resistive sensor to changing voltage that an Arduino can read. When the Arduino reads the voltage, it then returns a number between 0 and These value correspond to a voltage between 5v and ground, where 0 is ground and is 5V. Anyhow, now that you understand better what is going on, build the circuit as pictured in the wiring diagram on a breadboard.
While you can probably put the LEDs just about anywhere near the photocell, you will undoubtedly get the best results if you place one on each side of the photocell.
Simply connect the corresponding pins of the LED together with wire to attach them in parallel i. Once it is working on a breadboard, the next step is to build the circuit on a PCB typically printed circuit board, but or in our case, prototype circuit board.
To do this, we are going to solder the components to the board according to the connections in the wiring diagram. Some PCBs have long metal bus traces on them similar to breadboards. However, the one we are using does not. It just has lots of individual unconnected solder pads.
As such, we're going to free form the connection on the underside of the PCB. What this means is that instead of connecting the components through metal bus lines, we are going to literally make each connection by soldering the component leads together.
If a connection is to be made, the leads must touch and be soldered. To start, insert the LEDs, bend the leads outward to hold them in place and then solder them to the circuit pads where they have been inserts.
From here, we want to bend the ground leads of the LEDs such that they intersect with one of the leads of the 10K resistor. Make sure they are not touching any other component and solder them together. Next, repeat this with the power leads of the LEDs and one of the leads of the ohm resistor. Solder these together as well. Finally, insert the photocell such that the surface of the sensor is aligned with the top of the LEDs.
Solder both of the photocell leads to their corresponding solder pads. Then, attach one of the photocell leads to remaining lead of the 10K resistor. Basically, the IR transmitter emits the Infrared rays, the rays hit the obstacle and bounces back which is received by the IR receiver.
Based on the intensity of the received signal the object distance is found. In our project when the robot detects an edge the intensity of the received IR rays will be very low so the robot will actuate accordingly by avoiding the edges. BO motor: These are used as actuators for the robot. It is basically a battery-operated miniature DC motor that gives nice torque at low rpm with the help of gears.
The robot is programmed accordingly that if it detects an edge it will automatically actuate the motors to avoid the edges. Want to develop practical skills on Robotics?
