TOPIC 5 : SENSORS

SENSORS

 A sensor is a device that ca take any type of

specific reading and thus provide feedback to the
Arduino UNO board.
 There are two main sensor types: analog and
digital. We will see the digital ones.
example
SENSORS, use of IF
 Remembering: if w want to read a digital input in
Arduino, it is necessary to declare the input pin through
pinMode(#pin, INPUT); in void setup(), and when we
need to read the pin we use te statement digitalRead
(#pin); in the void loop ()

 Now that we have the sensor reading, it is necessary to add

a decision making statement, this is known as control
structures.
CONDITIONAL STRUCTURE: IF

 The block “if” is used to check if a certain condition is

true or not.

 If the condition is TRUE, the instructions inside block

“if” are executed

 If the condition is not met, it will skip all the instructions

inside “if”
