13th May – there weren’t 3 starter questions this week so I got straight into the task wiring up the sensor to the Arduino which equaled the first mistake.
fist problem – I initially made the mistake of wiring wrong thinking the Gnd and Vcc were next to each other but I noticed on my double check of the circuit when we were discussing the wiring on Teams.
problem1: wrong wiring
once done I continued and like the tasks before I downloaded and used the Arduino Sketch then uploaded it Arduino to see if it worked. It did but didn’t…
Problem 2 – after uploading to the Arduino the system had feedback on the serial monitor but it was just a continuous amount of ones -1 witch meant the sensor was hitting its maximum distance or there wasn’t data feeding back.
problem2:
I knew it wasn’t hitting the max distance as when I waved my hand at different distances nothing changed. This meant something else was wrong so I asked why this is happening in teams, the response was there’s something wrong wit the wires so I connected the senior straight to the Arduino and change the pins in the code. This worked and other numbers we’re starting to come through.
15th May – As were drawing closer to the deadline i’m just gonna go through the website and se if i can neaten it up a bit and see if i can improve upon somethings on the website. i also tried to connect the LCD with the Range finder and Arduino but it seems to no longer what to comply with the libraries.
issue at hand
