Laboratory Experiment 4

The document describes several laboratory experiments using inputs like push buttons, potentiometers, and light dependent resistors (LDR) with outputs like LEDs and speakers to demonstrate how Arduino can control components. It provides instructions and sample code for building circuits to change an LED blink rate using a potentiometer and button or control the pitch of a speaker using an LDR. Students are tasked with modifying the code and circuits to meet specific objectives and including comments to explain their programs.

INPUTS

Push Buttons

Potentiometers

Light Dependent Resistors (LDR)


Potentiometers
A potentiometer is a resistor whose value changes smoothly as the
KNOB is turned. With three legs, the middle leg should be connected
to ANALOG IN 0 on the Arduino. The other two should be connected
to +5V and the other to GND respectively (ground).

ANALOG IN vs DIGITAL IN
Exercise 1: Potentiometer-Button-Led Circuit 1
 The purpose of the Potentiometer-Button-Led Circuit 1 is to demo
how Arduino will be controlling an LED via pushbutton
potentiometer and pushbutton.
Exercise 1: Potentiometer-Button-Led Circuit 1
Write the sketch below and verify the result.

This function re-maps a number from


one range to the other since the
analogRead returns a value in the range
of 0-1023 but analogWrite can only take
a value from 0-255
Exercise 2: Potentiometer-Button-Led Circuit 1
Write the sketch below and verify the result.
Exercise 3: LDR-LED Circuit 2
 The purpose of the LDR-LED Circuit 2 is to demo how Arduino can
change the blink rate of the LED using light dependent resistor
(LDR).
Exercise 2: LDR-LED Circuit 2
Write the sketch below and verify the result.
Activity
1. Change the speed at which the LED blinks based on the value of the
pot ONLY when the button is pressed. (In other words, you can adjust
the potentiometer, but it has no effect until you press the “ON”
button)

2. Use the LDR to control the pitch of a sound produced by a speaker.
