2. Environmental Monitoring with Arduino Uno
Aim:
To measure air quality using Arduino and low cost air quality sensor.
Requirements
1. Arduino Uno microcontroller board

2. Grove- Air Quality Sensor v1.0
3. Jumper Wires
Background information
Air Quality sensor v1.0 is designed for indoor air quality testing. The main gases detected are,
CO, alcohol, acetone, formaldehyde and other slightly toxic gases. In this demo, we define four
stages for reference. They are:
A. Air fresh -- indicating a good air condition
B. Low pollution -- indicating a rather low concentration of target gases exist.
C. High pollution-indicating high pollution level.
D. Very High pollution- Instant measures should be taken to improve the air quality.
The air quality sensor can be easily interfaced to Arduino and responsive to a wide scope
of target gases and cost efficient and it is durable.
Connecting the sensor:
There are four pins available on the sensor and they are connected as follows:
1. Sensor Ground (black colour wire) to the GND pin of Arduino

2. Sensor VCC (red colour wire) to the 5V pin of Arduino
3. Sensor signal (yellow colour wire) to the analog pin A0 of Arduino
4. The pin between the Vcc and the signal pin is to be left without any connection
Circuit diagram:
Procedure:
1. Copy the “Air quality sensor” file into library files of the Arduino (i.e) “your
path/arduino/library”
2. Open the Arduino IDE and select the board and COM port
3. Under examples select the Air quality example and upload.
4. After the upload is complete click on serial monitor
5. The serial monitor will now display “sys_starting”
6. Wait for sensor initialization confirmation
7. After successful initialization, the serial monitor will display the air quality as one of four
different values.
Coding
#include"AirQuality.h"
#include"Arduino.h"

int current_quality =-1;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600);
airqualitysensor.init(14);
}
void loop()
{

if (current_quality >= 0)// if a valid data returned.
{
if (current_quality==0)
Serial.println("High pollution! Force signal
active");
else if (current_quality==1)
Serial.println("High pollution!");
else if (current_quality==2)
Serial.println("Low pollution!");
else if (current_quality ==3)
Serial.println("Fresh air");
}
}
ISR(TIMER2_OVF_vect)
{
if(airqualitysensor.counter==122)//set 2 seconds as a
detected duty
{
airqualitysensor.last_vol=airqualitysensor.first_vol;
airqualitysensor.first_vol=analogRead(A0);
airqualitysensor.counter=0;
airqualitysensor.timer_index=1;
}

The normal function of traffic lights requires complicated control and coordination to
ensure that traffic moves as smoothly and safely as possible and that pedestrians are protected
when they cross the roads. A variety of different control systems are used to accomplish this,
ranging from simple clockwork mechanisms to sophisticated computerized control and
coordination systems that self-adjust to minimize delay to people using the road. In this
experiment LEDs can be used with Arduino to control traffic light system. We can do many
things by connecting Arduino with LED lights not only the traffic light signals. We can also do
the n x n cube with different colors. We can also do smart lighting using LED.

Components Required:
1. Arduino
2. USB cable
3. LED – 27 Nos.
4. Soldering iron
5. PCB board
6. Connecting wires
Arduino is an open-source electronics prototyping platform based on flexible,
easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone
interactive objects or can be connected to software on our computer. We can control any
circuit with the help of Arduino and Arduino software. The very simple circuit to control
by Arduino is that, controlling a Light Emitting Diode (LED). The construction of
Arduino LED Cube 3x3x3 is the next step to show how these multiple LEDs are
controlled using Arduino. It can be extended by LED lighting to music, control the color
of LEDs, etc.
Construction of LED cube:
Procedure:
1. For the construction of 3x3x3 LED cube, first three 3x3 matrices will be constructed.
2. First take 9 LEDs, bend the shorter pins of LED to 900.
Figure 1 Model of one LED 3x3 matrix

3. Solder the shorter pins of LEDs and then we get a one 3x3 LED matrix. Likewise, the
steps are repeated for two more 3x3 matrices.
4. Finally, we are going to stack up the three 3x3 LED matrices one above the other and
solder the longer pins of LEDs.
5. We have completed the 3x3x3 LED cube.
6. Mount the cube on the PCB board and solder it.
7. Connect the longer pins of LEDs to digital pins 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 of Arduino
and shorter pins to GND of Arduino.
8. The connection part is over and we have to upload the code to Arduino. The LED cube
glows as per the code pattern.

Results and Discussions:
1. Use temperature sensor with Arduino in LED cube, so that the lighting changes according
to the sensor values.
(Hint: Use RGB LED and control the colors according to sensor values. For e.g.: For high
temperature, red color LED glows; for low temperature, orange light glows; for medium
temperature, green light glows.)

Web Based control a Motor Speed Using Arduino

Objective:
To Control a DC Motor remotely using Arduino Uno via web browser.
Requirements:
Hardware Requirements:
1. Arduino Uno.
2. L293D motor drive.
3. 5V DC motor.
4. USB Cable (Interface).
Software Requirements:
1. Python IDE.
2. PySerial (exe for interface).
3. Macromedia Dream viewer.
4. Arduino IDE
Background information:
Python is an easy to learn, powerful programming language. It has efficient high-
level data structures and a simple but effective approach to object-oriented programming.
Python’s elegant syntax and dynamic typing, together with its interpreted nature, make it
an ideal language for scripting and rapid application development in many areas on most
platforms.
The Python interpreter is easily extended with new functions and data types
implemented in C or C++ (or other languages callable from C). Python is also suitable as
an extension language for customizable applications.
PySerial module encapsulates the access for the serial port. It provides backends
for Python running on Windows, Linux, BSD (possibly any POSIX compliant system),
Jython and IronPython (.NET and Mono). The module named “serial” automatically
selects the appropriate backend.
 It is released under a free software license, see LICENSE for more details.
 Same class based interface on all supported platforms.
 Access to the port settings through Python properties.
Circuit Diagram:
We need to configure to correctly wire the motor and the motor driver IC. You
need to plug the L293D motor driver first, in the middle of your breadboard. You can
start by connecting the power for this integrated circuit: connect pins 8 and 9 to the 5V of
the Arduino board, and the pin 5 to the ground pin of the Arduino board. Then, there are
3 inputs pin we need to connect, and 2 output pins. The output part is easy: you just need
to connect the two output pins to the terminal of the DC motor. The output pins we want
to use are pins 3 and 6. The first input pin to connect is pin number 1, which is called the
Enable pin. This is the pin we will use to set the motor on and off, and to change the
speed of the motor. Connect this pin to the pin number 6 of the Arduino board. Finally,
we want to connect pins number 2 and 7 of the L293D to pins number 4 and 5 of the
Arduino board. These pins will be used to change the direction of the motor.

LCD Interface with Arduino
Objective:
The main objective of this experiment is to demonstrate how you can display sensor
readings from an Arduino.
Liquid Crystal Display (LCD):

An LCD is a small low-cost display. It is easy to interface with a microcontroller
because of an embedded controller (the black blob on the back of the board). This
controller is standard across many displays (HD 44780) which means many micro-
controllers (including the Arduino) have libraries that make displaying messages as easy
as a single line of code.
Requirements:
10 k potentiometer
Wires
Breadboard
Arduino
Connection cable for Arduino
Testing
Testing your LCD with an Arduino is really simple. Wire up your display using the
Schematic or breadboard layout sheet. Then open the Arduino IDE and open the
Example program.
File > Sketchbook > Examples > Library-LiquidCrystal > IT VCET
Upload to your board and watch as "hello, world!" is shown on your display. If
no message is displayed the contrast may need to be adjusted. To do this turn
the potentiometer.
Library Summary
(here's a summary of the LCD library for a full reference visit
Liquid Crystal (rs, rw, enable, d4, d5, d6, d7) - create a new
Liquid Crystal object using a 4 bit data bus
Liquid Crystal (rs, rw, enable, d0, d1, d2, d3, d4, d5, d6, d7) - create
a new Liquid Crystal object using an 8 bit data bus
Clear () - Clears the display and moves the cursor to upper left corner
Home () - Moves the cursor to the upper left corner
Set Cursor (col, row) - moves the cursor to column col and row row
Write (data) - writes the char data to the display
Print (data) - prints a string to the display
The16 pin LCD display that can show a total of 32 characters.(16 Columns and 2 rows).
Next, you wire up your LCD to a breadboard and to your Arduino.All of these parallel
LCD modules have the same pin-out and can be wired in one of two modes: 4 pin or8 pin
mode. These pins for enabling the display, setting the display to command mode or
character mode, and for setting it to read/write mode.
The pin connections are:

1. The contrast adjustment pin changes how dark the displays are. It connects to the center
pin of a potentiometer.
2. The register selection pin sets the LCD to command or character mode, so it knows how
to interpret the next set of data that is transmitted via the data lines, Based on the state of
this pin, data sent to the LCD is either interpreted as a command.
3. The RW pin is always tied to ground in this implementation, meaning that you are only
writing to the display and never reading from it
4. The En pin is used to tell the LCD when data is ready,
5. Data pins 4-7 are used for actually transmitting data and data pins 0-3 are left
unconnected.
6. You can illuminate the backlight by connections the anode pin to 5v and the cathode pin
to ground if you are using an LCD with a built resistor for the backlight. If you are not,
you must put a current limiting resistor in line with the anode or cathode pin,. The
datasheet for your device will generally tell you if you need to do this.
Circuit Diagram:
Fig-(i)
Connections (Arduino and LCD):
Fig-(ii)
Coding:
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);
void setup() {
// set up the LCD's number of columns and rows:
lcd.begin(16, 2);
// Print a message to the LCD.
lcd.print("IT, VCET");
}
void loop() {
// set the cursor to column 0, line 1
// (note: line 1 is the second row, since counting begins with 0):
lcd.setCursor(0, 1);
// print the number of seconds since reset:
lcd.print(millis()/1000);
}
1.Write the function of LiquidCrystal - display() and noDisplay()
The Liquid Crystal Library allows you to control LCD displays that are compatible with
the Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there, and you can usually tell
them by the 16-pin interface.
This example sketch shows how to use the display () and no Display () methods to turn
on and off the display. The text to be displayed will still be preserved when you use no
Display () so it's a quick way to blank the display without losing everything on it.
