PROCEDURES AND TESTING

Using Fritzing, draw the breadboard lay-out of the desired circuit so that you can use it as a
guide in implementing the actual circuit.

Figure 1. Breadboard Layout

Still with the use of Fritzing, draw the schematic diagram of the project.

Figure 2.Schematic Diagram

To start the actual experiment, the equipment’s to be used must be gathered first:

TOOLS and EQUIPMENTS USED:

1. Laptop pre-installed with the latest

Arduino Software.

2. Arduino UNO R3 Microcontroller

3. A Solderless Breadboard

4. 5.9 V DC Motor
 5. Ultrasonic Sensor

6. USB Fan blade

7. A to B USB Cable

8. Male-to-male connecting wires and

regular solid wires for ground
connections

SOFTWARE USED:
1. Arduino Software Environment
 After gathering the equipment’s to be used, the actual implementation can now be started
while referring to the Fritzing lay-outs previously made.
Step 1. Build the circuit on the solder less breadboard.
Steps in building the circuit:
(a.) Determine the positive and negative terminal of the DC motor. Otherwise, the motor will
rotate on the opposite direction.
(b.) Pattern the wiring of the circuit from the fritzing lay-out previously provided and c
connect the ultrasonic sensor to the dc motor.
(c.) Remove the black, plastic cover at the top of the 5.9 Volt DC Motor.
(d.) Attach the USB fan blade to the motor.
Step 2. Mount the DC Motor with the USB fan blade on the plastic container seen in Figure 3 of
step number four.
Step 3. After building the circuit, set it aside and work on the Arduino codes. The codes will be
provided in the Codes portion which is found in (E.) Codes and Final Design Output.
.
Step 4. Connect the USB Cable of the Arduino to your Laptop or Personal Computer.

Step 5. Verify your codes and upload it to the Arduino Board.

Step 6. View the serial monitor. If the reading is
Above the pre-set value, the fan will
Not rotate. If the reading is less than the pre-set
Value, the fan will rotate.
