But where, you ask, is the Onion Arduino dock? For some reason mine has stopped accepting a flash so I substituted a China Clone Nano instead. The Onion library still works as if it were on the Uno and I was able to complete the demo!
The point of the demo is to provide an example of each interface function in operation. In thinking about how to do this I came up with the above:
- Range finder to illustrate pwmPulseHigh
- Buzzer that sounds when a distance threshold has been breached to illustrate pwmWrite (though I am not taking advantage of different volumes that are possible with PWM)
- Potentiometer, or variable resistor, as part of a voltage divider illustrating the reading of voltage using an analog pin. The voltage reading is used to adjust the sensitivity of threshold where the alarm sounds
- Servo to illustrate the servo control capability of the interface. It moves to show the position of the above variable resistor.
- Push button to illustrate the internal pull-up capability of the Arduino as well as a digitalRead. Pushing the button ends our demo script.
And finally, a video clip of the demo in operation!
