2.4.5 ZX-03 : Infrared reflector sensor (only for Standard 2) Circuit and layout of the ZX-03 sensor are shown in Figure 2-9. It is used to detect the reflected infrared light. It includes a infrared LED and photo-transistor in the same chassis.

The heart of this sensor is TCRT5000. It is designed for close proximity infrared (IR) detection. There’s an infrared diode behind its transparent blue window and an infrared transistor behind its black window. When the infrared emitted by the diode reflects off a surface and returns to the black window, it strikes the infrared transistor’s base, causing it to conduct current.

The more infrared incident on the transistor’s base, the more current it conducts.

When used as an analog sensor, the ZX-03 can detect shades of gray on paper and distances over a short range if the light in the room remains constant.

The suitable distance from sensor to line or floor is during 3 to 8mm. The output voltage is during 0.1 to 4.8V and digital value from10-bit A/D converter is 20 to 1,000. Thus, ZX-03 will suitable to apply to line tracking sensor.

So to use the IPST-SE board must be connected to the analog inputs (A0 to A6) of the IPST-SE board. Then, using knowledge from reading the analog signal to read values from this sensor for applying to make the Line tracking robot.

Activity 1-3 Fun with size and rotation text on GLCD Font size displayed on the GLCD screen of the IPST-SE board when it starts is the smallest.

The number of dots per character is 6 x 10 dots (the actual font size is 5 x 7 dots). To adjust the font size, use setTextSize() function. The value size in () is time of the default size. For example : setTextSize(2) is set text size to 2 times of the default size. The number of dots per character is 12 x 20 dots. setTextSize(3) is set text size to 3 times of the default size. The number of dots per character is 18 x 30 dots.

When adjusting the font size is larger. Number of characters per line was reduced from 21 characters 16 lines. Afdter set the text size 2 times, it will display 10 characters 8 lines. This is important factor that all programmers have to concentrate.

In addition to setting the font size, programmer can rotate the displaying by using the function glcdMode (). The default mode is 0 (glcdMode (0)) is displayed vertically. For another 3 modes 1, 2 and 3, rotate the displaying 90 degrees each. That is from 0 to 90 degrees (mode 1), 90 to 180 degress (mode 2) and 180 to 270 degrees (mode 3).

#include <ipst.h> int x,m; void setup() { //glcdSetColorWordRGB(); setTextColor(GLCD_RED); } void loop() { for (x=1;x<6;x++) { setTextSize(x); for(m=0;m<4;m++) { glcdClear(); glcdMode(m); glcd(0,0,"%dX",x); glcd(1,0,"M=%d",m); sleep(500); } } }

Chapter 7

LED controller The simplest application of automatic controller is LED controller. Because LED is very simple output device, low cost, easy to use and very flexible for applying to make so many applications, projects and inventions This chapter describes about how to control the LED by using IPST-SE controller board with C/C++ programming by Wiring IDE.

7.1 Introduction to LED A light emitting diode (LED) emits light when current passes through it. The color of the LED usually just tells you what color it will glow when current passes through it. The important markings on an LED are contained in its shape. Since an LED is a one-way current valve, you have to make sure to connect it the right way, or it won’t work as intended.

The symbol and structure of LED are shown in the figure 7-1 LED has 2 terminals. One is called the anode, and the other is called the cathode. On the schematic symbol, the cathode is the line across the point of the triangle and part drawing.

For the part drawing, note that the LED’s leads are different lengths. The longer lead is connected to the LED’s anode, and the shorter lead is connected to its cathode.

The suitable current that the modern LED need is 5 to 20mA. The simple circuit is shown in the figure 7-2.

Limit-current resistor (RS)can assgin by formula below :

Vcc  VF IF Vcc is Supply voltage, VF is forward bias voltage cross LED and IF is forward bias current RS 

If apply the reverse bias, LED will not work and damage. Because LED can hold the reverse bias voltage in range 3 to 10V only.

Chapter 8

Muti-channels LED controller In the previous chapter, presents how to control LED with programming for only one channel. This chapter presents how to control more LEDs up to 8-ch. in same time by still using only one digital port of IPST-SE controller board.

The output device for this practical is LED8 board. It consists of 8 LEDs and serial controller circuit. The data that used to control LED displaying is generated by basic mathematics in binary number plus simple data structure in bit and byte.

Instructor can be use the pracicals in this chapter to teach about number system and basic logic according to STEM education.

8.1 Binary number In the binary number system is the only 2 number that is "0" and "1". They can be used instead of the low - high, off -on and open-close. If the binary number greater than 1 this was considered for example, 2. there is 4 status occured. They could be represent off-off, off-on, onoff and on-on.

Summary of mathematical equation relate with digit of binary number are as follows : Number of data = 2 digit If there are 2 digits, the data number are 22 = 4 If there are 3 digits, the data number are 23 = 8 If there are 4 digits, the data number are 24 = 16

8.1.1 Binary number counting Because binary number are only 0 and 1, when count up it must be added more digits.

To see a significant changing, the decimal number will be used to compare as follows : Binary

8.1.2 Bit variables The binary is used more and more from 1 digit to 2, 3, ... and 8 digits cause the following new variables.

(1) bit. It is binary digit. Includes 0 and 1 only.

(2) byte. It is 8 bits binary number. It is important unit of binary number because in the computer system will use at least 8-bit data for processing.

(3) LSB : Least Significant Bit. It is last right digit of binary number. The digit weight If “1” is last right digit, it is equal to 1 x 20 = 1 x 1 = 1. But it is “0”, the value is changed is to 0 x 20 = 0 x 1= 0 2 0.

(4) Digit defination. Last right digit is called bit 0 (b0) or LSB. Next digit is bit1 (b1) scroll to the last left. Final are b7, b6, b5, b4, b3, b2, b1 and b0.

(5) MSB : Most Significant Bit. It is last left digit of binary number. For 8-bit data, the MSB is bit7. The digit weight is 27 or 128. For the less than digit, the digit power is lower one step such as for 6-bit MSB digit weight is 25, for 5-bit it is 24 for example.

8.1.3 Digit power In decimal number, the digit weight is calculated from power of 10. For 1’s digit is 100 or 1, 10’s digit is 101 or 10, 100’s digit is 102 or 100 and so on.

Similar the decimal number, the digit weight of binary number also calculate from power of 2. The last right bit or LSB has digit weight as 20 or equal is 1. Next digit is bit 1, digit weight is 21 or 2. Bit 2 digit weight is 22 or 4. Consider to 8-bit, the digit weight of each bit is summarized as follows : Binary bit

(2) multiply the digit weight by binary number at each bit. After that, add all multiplication together.

Decimal

= (1x23) + (0x22) + (1x21) + (1x20) = (1x8) + (0x4) + (1x2) + (1x1) = 8+0+2+1 = 11

8.2.2 Decimal to Binary conversion The suggession method is Repeated Division by 2. Any decimal number divided by 2 will leave a remainder of 0 or 1. Repeated division by 2 will leave a string of 0s and 1s that become the binary equivalent of the decimal number.

Example 8-2

Convert the decimal number 13 to binary (1) Divide the decimal number by 2 and note a remainder 13/2 = 6 + remainder 1 (LSB) The remainder is the least significant bit of the binary equivalent of 13.

(2) Divide the quotient from the previous division and note the remainder. The remainder is the second LSB. 6/2 = 3 + remainder 0 (3) Continue this process until the quotient is 0. The last remainder is the most significant bit of the binary number.

3/2 = 1 + remainder 1 1/2 = 0 + remainder 1 (MSB) (4) To write the binary equivalent of the decimal number, read the remainders from the bottom up.

1310 = 11012

8.3 Signed of Binary number Binary number can assign to Positive and Negative value by assignment at MSB bit. If MSB is "0", that binary number is positive. In the other hand, if MSB is "1" that binary number is negative.

These informations below present the unsigned and signed binary number compare with decimal number to make the understanding clearly.

Binary 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111

Decimal Signed number 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1

Unsigned number 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

In signed binary number to decimal conversion can use similar technique.

For examaple, 1000 binary number the MSB is "1". The digit weight is 23 or 8. This signed binary number is equal -8. In conversion the remain 3 bit is positive value. Thus, the conversion is -8 + 0 = -8.

Next example, convert 1101 signed number to decimal. At MSB is -8 and 3 last right bit is positive as +5 [101 = (22 x 0) + (21 x 0) + (20 x 1)]. The conversion is -8 + 5 = -3

Chapter 9

Reading switch This chapter is an introduction to using the switch input board with microcontroller of IPST-SE board. Learn about how to read the input signal to process and control the output devices following the setting condition.

About practicals are presented in this chapter, experimenters can use the knowledge to make a simple control system project that detects input from the switch. Then set the program is designed to respond to something. For example, when the switch is pressed the system responds with turn on or off the lights, drives the motor, send temperature information to display on a computer that is connected.

9.1 Introduction of switch The most familiar form of switch is a manually operated electromechanical device with one or more sets of electrical contacts, which are connected to external circuits. Each set of contacts can be in one of two states: either "closed" meaning the contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them, or "open", meaning the contacts are separated and the switch is nonconducting. The mechanism actuating the transition between these two states (open or closed) can be either a "toggle" (flip switch for continuous "on" or "off") or "momentary" (push-for "on" or push-for "off") type. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch)

9.1.1 Push-button switch/Tactile switch Push-button switch or Tactile switches are commonly used in many consumer electronic devices. They have a small footprint and come in many sizes and gram forces. A push-button switch has only two states ON and OFF. Push-button switch have many package with solder tag type, PCB type, panel mounted type, etc. Some type includes the built-in LED. Normally, the push-button or tactile switch has at least 2 pins for connection. In micrcocontroller applications, this switch is used to generate the digital input signal. Almost connect one pin with the pull-up resistor to set the logic state as “HIGH” or “1” when open circuit and connect this point to microcontroller input port.

Microcontroller will read the status from this point. Other pin of switch normally connect to ground. When the switch is pressed, the connection point is connected to ground. The logic is changed to “0”. Microcontroller detects it and activate following the condition that defined in the opertion program.

Figure 9-1 shows some technical information about push-button switch or tactile switch that used in microcontroller applications.

9.1.2 How to connect switch to use in digital circuit One of the most common means of entering information into a digital system is the use of switches or a keyboard. Examples might be the switches on a digital clock, the keys on a calculator, or the large keyboard on a microcomputer. This section will detail several methods of using a switch to enter data into either TTL or CMOS digital circuits.

There is 3 simple switch interface circuits are depicted in figure 9-2 to 9-4. Pressing the push-button switch in figure 9-2 will drop the input of the TTL inverter to ground level or LOW. Releasing the push-button switch to opens the switch. The input to the TTL inverter now is allowed to “float.” In TTL, inputs usually float at a HIGH logic level.

Figure 9-3 : Simple active-low switch Figure 9-4 : Simple active-high switch interface using pull-up resistor. The idle interface using pull-down resistor. The state is logic “1” idle state is logic “0” Floating inputs for digital port of microcontroller are not dependable. Figure 9-3 is a slight refinement of the switch input circuit in Figure 9-2. The 10k resistor has been added to make sure the microcontroller input pin goes HIGH when the switch is open. The10k resistor is called a pull-up resistor. Its purpose is to pull the input voltage up to +5 V. Both circuits in Figure 9-2 and 9-3 illustrate active LOW switches. They are called active LOW switches because the inputs go LOW only when the switch is activated.

An active HIGH input switch is sketched in Figure 9-4. When the input switch is activated, the +5 V is connected directly to the digital input of microcontroller. When the switch is released (opened) the input is pulled LOW by the pull-down resistor.

9.1.3 Contact bounce of switches Contact bounce (also called chatter) is a common problem with mechanical switches. Switch contacts are usually made of springy metals that are forced into contact by an actuator. When the contacts strike together, their momentum and elasticity act together to cause bounce. The result is a rapidly pulsed electrical current instead of a clean transition from zero to full current. +5V

Glitch from switch pressing

Figure 9-5 : The switch bouncing in digital circuit

Glitch from switch releasing

136IPST-MicroBOX [SE] Lab manual

The digital logic circuits are particularly vulnerable to contact bounce. The voltage waveform produced by switch bounce usually violates the amplitude and timing specifications of the logic circuit. The result is that the circuit may fail, due to problems such as metastability, race conditions, runt pulses and glitches. Figure 9-5 shows the switch's bouncing in digital circuit.

The switch interface circuits in figure 9-2 to 9-4 work well for some applications.

However, none of the switches in all figures were debounced. The lack of a debouncing circuit can be demonstrated by operating the counter. Each press of the input switch should cause the decade (0-9) counter to increase by 1. However, in practice each press of the switch increases the count by 1, 2, 3, or sometimes more. This means that several pulses are being fed into the clock (CLK) input of the counter each time the switch is pressed. This is caused by switch bounce.

9.1.4 Debounce switch with Timing based Timing based techniques rely on adding sufficient delays to prevent bounce being detected. Their big advantage is they do not require any special design on the switch side and so are generally cheaper. However for good performance they must be designed to suit the switch (too much delay and the response will be needlessly sluggish, too little and bounce will not be eliminated).

There are 2 methods for solving the bounced switch or call “Debouncing”. One is hardware method by using RC circuit and solve by software technic.

Figure 9-6 is one example RC integrator circuit that co-working with inverter gate. If an on/off switch is used with a pull up (or pull down) resistor and a single capacitor is placed over the switch (you can also place it across the resistor but this can cause nasty spikes of current on the power supply lines) then when the switch is closed (generally pressed) the

RC integrator Figure 9-6 : Add RC integrator circuit to debouce the switch.

capacitor will almost instantly discharge through the switch. But when the switch is opened (generally released) the capacitor takes some time to recharge. Therefore contact bounce will have negligible effect on the output. The slow edges can be cleaned up with a schmitt trigger if necessary. This method has the advantage of fast response to the initial press but the current surges through the switch may be undesirable. Other RC based systems are also possible with various responses and such systems are probably the easiest method when constructing with simple logic gates and discrete components.

The second method is software technic. There are summarized procedure as follows : (1) Read the first pressing of switch.

(2) Delay 0.1 to 1 second (3) Read the switch status again If status or data is same, it means the switch is pressed If not, it means data that read may be noise from switch bouncing.

Chapter 10

Analog sensor Electrical signal has 2 kinds; analog and digital signal. Analog signal is correlated with the time and amplitude change. Digital signal is changed only two states; high and low. Usually has a voltage of + 5V for logic high or "1" and 0V for logic low or "0". However the logic “1” voltage level for modern digital devices is down to + 3.3V or 1.8V depending on the digital device technology . For basic learning still desbribes the logic “1” voltrage as + 5V level.

Figure 10-1 shows the difference between analog and digital signals.

This chapter presents the basic knowledge about analog signal, how to use microcontroller with analog signal, introduce the analog sensor and some practical of analog sensor intrerfacing with IPST-SE controller board.

10.1 Analog signal There is 3 types : DC signals, time-domain and frequency-domain DC signal : This is the measure of the level of the signal. This signal is changing not so fast. Example of this signal are temperature, level, flow, pressure, flow rate, weight, etc. The analog-to-digital (ADC: Analog to Digital Converter) low speed is minimum requirement to convert the voltage signal to digital data.

Time-domain signal : It is signal that measure of what happened to a parameter of the system versus time. Voltage or current is expressed as a function of time. Most people are relatively comfortable with time domain representations of signals. Signals measured on an oscilloscope are displayed in the time domain and digital information is often conveyed by a voltage as a function of time. For example is ECG signal (Electrocardiogram). It is the electrical activity of the heart in exquisite detail. This signal type necessary to use the analog to digital signal converter with high speed sampling rate.

Frequency-domain signal : This signal type can also be represented by a magnitude and phase as a function of frequency. Signals that repeat periodically in time are represented by a power spectrum. Signals that are time limited. Example of this signal is the radio frequency (RF) signal, audio signal, etc. Requires some special hardware to analysis such as the digital signal processing board (DSP) works with the high speed analog to digital convewrter circiuit.

10.2 Why does microcontroller read analog signal ?

The main reason for the microcontroller to interface and read with analog signal is read the physical quantities in the form of electrical signals to process and control the system.

In figure 10-2 shows the basic operation diagram of microcontroller’s analog reading. It consists of 4 parts as follows : 1. Sensor unit 2. Signal conditioning circuit 3. Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)

4. Microcontroller 10.2.1 Sensor unit Sensor is devices that convert the physical quantities to electrical signal. There are many kinds of sensor in the world such as thermocouple, thermistor, flow sensor, light sensor, distance sensor, etc.

10.1.2 Signal condition circuit The main function of the signal condition circuit is improve the quality of the electrical signals from any sensors before send to microcontroller. It may be necessary to adjust the scale, amplitude, converts tolinear, filters and splits the signal ground (common-mode rejection).

The m ain function of the signal condition ciurcuit is amplification. Because the sensor’ s normally is very low in millivolts (mV) or 1 / 1000V unit and often with noise from the power supply. The signal condition circuit will amplify and reject noise to as good as signal befroe send to the analog bto digital converter circuit.

10.1.3 Analog to digital converter circuit (ADC) An analog-to-digital converter (abbreviated ADC, A/D or A to D) is an electronic integrated circuit, which converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers.

Typically, an ADC is an electronic device that converts an input analog voltage (or current) to a digital number. The digital output may be using different coding schemes, such as binary, Gray code or two’s complement binary. Analog signal is converted to digital valuse by sampling method.

150ď&#x20AC; ď Źď&#x20AC; IPST-MicroBOX [SE] Lab manual

The main feature of ADC ciurcuit is the resolution of conversion. Most ADC circuit for microcontroller and instrument application has the resolution at least 8-bit. It gives data 256 values; 0 to 255. The higher the resolution is better. It will provide a more accurate conversion. But there will be a higher cost of the system as well.

10.1.4 Microcontroller Microcontroller is a digital device. To read the analog signal directly, it need an analog to digital converter circuit. The old style microcontroller are no converter module within the chip. Must use the external ADC integrated circuit. The resolution of ADC ICs starts at 8, 10, 12, 16-bit or higher.

The modern microcontroller incorporates an ADC module inside the chip. To reduce the size of the overall system. The signal processing is faster and the total cost of the system down with it.

Digital data derived from analog-to-digital converter will be sent to the data bus to be processed and used to make decisions to control the operation of the system.

For the IPST-MicroBOX [SE] uses the ATmega644P a microcontroller with integrated 8ch. ADC moducle and 10-bit resolution. It helps to read any analog sensor easier and fast.

10.2 Analog to digital conversion To convert analog signal to digital. Signal will be converted into digital by sampling as shown in Figure 10-3, if the analog-to-digital converter has 8-bit resolution. The conversion data are 28 or 256 values. If 10-bit resolution, the result of binary data values as high as 210 or 1,024.

Sampling period

Figure 10-3 : Sampling the analog singal for assigning the digital data

IPST-MicroBOX [SE] Lab manual151

The resolution of the analog-to-digital converter is proportional to the number of bits output. For ADC 10-bit resolution, the converted data is up to 1,024 values which represents as a binary code of 0000000000 to 1111111111. if the input from 0 to +5 V, so the resolution is :

5  0.005 V 1024 If binary data 0000000001 (1 bit) represents 0.005V. Thus, voltage 3V will be equal :

3  600 10 0 . 005 Convert to binary is equal 10010110002.

10.3 Analog function of C/C++ programming for reading analog sensor of IPST-MicroBOX (SE) To helps all experiments and learners who use the IPST-MicroBOX [SE] in analog sensor interfacing, in main library provides two functions for reading the analog signal. They are analog(); and knob(); Reading with analog(); and knob(); function get the result 0 to 1,023 in decimal or 0x0000 to 0x03FF in hexadecimal. Because the resolution of conversion is 10-bit.

10.3.1 analog This gets digital data from the analog to digital converter module of any analog port; A0 to A6 of the IPST-SE board.

6.3.3 Use hand or diffuse paper sheet block or filter the light that shine to the LDR sensor on ZX- LDR module. See the operation at IPST-SE board and ZX-LED module.

If ZX-LDR detects more light density, the raw data is more than 100. The displayed number is blue color. It is assumed this situation as day time. No need to turn on light. LED at pin 17 is off.

Until ZX-LDR detectd less light density, raw data is equal or lower than 100. The operation is changed. Displayed number is changed to white. It is night time. Turn on LED at pin 17 immediately.

From the operation above, could be called this operation as Twilight Switch or Automatic night switch.
