Construcción de módulos con bluetooth, motores y sensores utilizando Arduino MEGA para el Laboratorio de Microprocesadores de la ESFOT

Abstract

This project, aims to design and construct didactic modules based on Arduino MEGA. The modules will be used in order to improve the Microprocessor’s Laboratory and help to the academic training to the ESFOT’s students. In order to select the necessary elements that are part of the module, research was accomplished and past laboratory practices were considered. Also, a mobile structure was part of the design, considering that some robotic applications could be implemented as a result of combining sensors and other electronic elements. The modules, were designed to allow power supply from a computer using a USB cable, in this case a USB type B. This type of power supply will be helpful in applications that don’t require high consume of current. Also, an extern supply was part of the design specially for the wireless application that needs high-power supply. The modules contain engines, drivers, LED diodes, buzzer, terminals, temperature and humidity sensor, distance sensor, Bluetooth module, and header terminals. All these elements will be used to deploy the lab practices proposed in this project. Finally, some functional proves were carried out using the written practices that showed up the correct functionality of the modules.
