Week 6 # - Journal

Step 1 :

I assemble all the components using Tinkercad to make sure of the connection method and I know the correct wire connection methods

step 2 :

We use IF-condition for programming based on "CODE BLOCKS"

int var = 0;

int if2 = 0;

long readUltrasonicDistance(int triggerPin, int echoPin)

{

pinMode(triggerPin, OUTPUT); // Clear the trigger

digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);

delayMicroseconds(2);

// Sets the trigger pin to HIGH state for 10 microseconds

digitalWrite(triggerPin, HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(10);

digitalWrite(triggerPin, LOW);

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

// Reads the echo pin, and returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds

return pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

}

void setup()

{

pinMode(A2, INPUT);

Serial.begin(9600);

pinMode(8, OUTPUT);

pinMode(10, OUTPUT);

pinMode(9, OUTPUT);

pinMode(A0, OUTPUT);

pinMode(A1, OUTPUT);

}

void loop()

{

if (analogRead(A2) == HIGH) {

var = 0.01723 * readUltrasonicDistance(11, 12);

Serial.println(var);

if (var <= 20) {

digitalWrite(8, LOW);

digitalWrite(10, HIGH);

analogWrite(9, 90);

digitalWrite(A0, LOW);

digitalWrite(A1, LOW);

} else {

digitalWrite(9, HIGH);

digitalWrite(8, HIGH);

digitalWrite(10, LOW);

analogWrite(9, 90);

digitalWrite(A0, HIGH);

digitalWrite(A1, LOW);

}

} else {

digitalWrite(8, HIGH);

digitalWrite(10, HIGH);

analogWrite(9, 90);

digitalWrite(A0, LOW);

digitalWrite(A1, HIGH);

}

delay(10); // Delay a little bit to improve simulation performance

}

Also some of my teammates face problems and I try to help them solving their issue.

problem with on & off switch didn't disconnect the circuit because i didn't write it in the code so i decided to move this step to the next week and it's code is very easy

void setup() {

pinMode(8, INPUT_PULLUP);

void loop() {

// put your main code here, to run repeatedly:

if (digitalRead (3) == HIGH) {

do the condition which i mention }

else { do nothing }

}
