Construcción de 2 módulos didácticos para medir la luz y radiación ultravioleta (UV) utilizando el entorno Simulink de Matlab y arduino.

Abstract

The project focused on designing educational modules for measuring light and ultraviolet radiation (UV), specifically targeting students of various ages and educational levels. This innovative initiative synergistically integrated physical and technological concepts, combining theoretical studies of UV indices, practical handling of tools like Matlab and Simulink, and effective communication with devices such as Arduino. In the first stage, there was a deep dive into the aforementioned theoretical fundamentals, thoroughly understanding their applications and educational potential. Additionally, time was dedicated to researching libraries and technical tools necessary to optimize the connection between peripherals and programming platforms. Subsequently, there was a comprehensive analysis of the technical characteristics of peripherals connected to Arduino, ensuring precise identification of each component in the project's general scheme. This research process was crucial for developing code in Matlab, responsible for monitoring Arduino's digital pins, interpreting sensor data, and activating actuators based on detected conditions. Finally, the ergonomic and accessible design phase of the educational modules was completed using Autodesk Inventor software. Detailed two-dimensional plans and 3D models were created to ensure both technical functionality and student comfort and safety when interacting with these educational devices. This comprehensive approach ensured a high-quality end product, adapted to the pedagogical and technological needs of today.
