Sensor Characterization
• Sensor- Device that provides a
usable output in response to a
specified measurement.

Light Sensor
Digital Sensor
Sonar Sensor
Analog Sensor
Problem Statement
• Determine through sensor detection
the lengths of certain distances from
any given object using three
separate sensors.
• Create a program that utilizes these
sensors to gain a better
understanding of sensor
programming.
Robot Project
• Objective: Create a robot and code
that smoothy, accurately, and
quickly navigates through a maze.
• Enable the robot to find its own path
out of the maze and to adjust the
robot to make a perfect 90 degree
turn in reference to a black line on
the ground.
Steps
• What sensors should we use?
• Build the robot
• Testing- Does it turn left/right?
• Speed- Too fast!
Elevator Project
• Objective
– Build an elevator that is designed for
two floors
– Create a program in IC that will control
the elevator.
Oscilloscope Lab
• Oscilloscope- device used to read
and represent voltage.
• Two sample functions:
MATLAB
• Used to show superiortiy in
programming of vectorized
operations that focused on
numberical integration, as well as
ability to solve systems of equations.
• Trapezoidal Rule
PSPICE Lab
• The objective of this lab was to be
able to construct a simulation of a
circuit using the program PSPICE
and to also be able to use PSPICE to
solve for voltage and current.
• Although the circuits were not real,
they still provided a great deal of
information and practice in circuit
theory.
PSPICE Circuit
PSPICE cont.
• The main problem for this lab was
learning to use the program. Building
the circuit was fairly straight forward,
but finding the right parts and
functions was difficult.
• The other problem was the
placement of the various parts.
Lining everything up on the grid was
sometimes tricky.
Circuits Lab
• In this lab, the goal was to learn
to work with actual circuits and
to be able to find the values of
unknown resistors, voltage drops
across resistors, and current
running through a part of the
circuit.
• The group learned and became
familiar with the multi-meter and
breadboard.
Circuits cont.
• The only problem that occurred
during this lab was getting used to
using the breadboard and the
components. The tiny wires were
difficult to manipulate and connect
accurately.
Conclusion
• Great hands on experience
• Key concepts
