Basic Sensors
Basic sensors are those that typically measure only one or two environmental parameters and provide them as binary, digital, or analog values. Basic sensors do not need further computation to interpret their data.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this learning path, you will have achieved the following:
1
You will be able to connect a DHT22 Temperature and Humidity sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
2
You will be able to connect an MQ Series Gas sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
3
You will be able to connect an Ultrasonic Distance sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data, compute the distance, and display it on the serial monitor.
4
You will be able to connect an Infrared sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
5
You will be able to connect a PIR Motion sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
6
You will be able to connect a Light sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
7
You will be able to connect a Soil Moisture sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
8
You will be able to connect a Rain sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
9
You will be able to connect a Water Level sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
10
You will be able to connect a Sound sensor to a board and write the program to read the sensor data and display it on the serial monitor.
The checklist above is currently for you to manually track your completion status. We will soon be upgrading this to allow the learning objective to be checked based on the outcome of a quiz.
