As what I am planning for the previous week , this week I am going to look for all the components that have been listed after my 2nd meeting with Dr Masum .
First and foremost , I am doing the searching for those components through online . I can conclude that most of the stuff are available and common at all electronic outlet except for this specific range finder ultrasonic sensor
This is the easy-to-use MaxBotix ultrasonic range finder.I am extremely pleased with the size, quality, and ease of use of this little range finder. The serial interface is a bit odd (it's RS232 instead of standard TTL), but the PWM and Analog interfaces will allow any micro to listen easily enough. The sensor provides very accurate readings of 0 to 255 inches (0 to 6.45m) in 1 inch increments with little or no dead zone!
Features:
- 42kHz Ultrasonic sensor
- Operates from 2.5-5.5V
- Low 2mA supply current
- 20Hz reading rate
- RS232 Serial Output - 9600bps
- Analog Output - 10mV/inch
- PWM Output - 147uS/inch
- Small, light weight module
- Specific model: MD1010
As this sensor is quite rare and odd , I decided to buy it online through Cytron Marketplace Online Website . I have ordered it on Thursday 8 february 2018 . The sensor is still in shipping process . Maybe it will arrive in these Tuesday 13 February .It costs RM128 included shipping fee .
For arduino nano , I went to JALAN PASAR on Thursday ,8th February by car right after my class at 2PM . I went there for looking on the microcontroller . Fortunately , there is soldered arduino nano included with the usb mini . I bought 2 for this set since I am preparing for a backup . I did also bought the common ultrasonic sensor for do the testing on the arduino
As the software part , I have bought the android studio from the market and I download by myself the arduino installer . I am downlloading it by referring to the specific website that taught me how to download .
For this upcoming week , I am going to construct a simple application in order for me to get use to this android studio. I do also looked on how to test the Arduino and the Ultrasonic sensor on youtube .I am going to test it later after the ultrasonic sensor arrive.
Thats all update for the 3rd week . Thank you :)
