Act 4

The document describes a project to build a traffic light that indicates ambient noise levels. It will measure surrounding noise using a sound sensor. If the noise is very high, it will light the red light. If noise is moderate, it will light the yellow light. If noise is low, it will light the green light. The document provides details on materials needed, initial checks of the components, calibrating the sound sensor, creating and testing the traffic light, and final programming to integrate the sound sensor readings and traffic light responses.

The idea is this practice is to make a traffic light that indicates ambient noise level.

You have to measure the surrounding noise. If it is very high you should light the red light, if it is
moderated the yellow and if it is low the green one.

1.- Contextualization.

What is the noise pollution?


Causes of the pollution.
Impact of noise pollution
How noise pollution can be reduced?

2.- Programming.

Materials. For doing this practice, you will need:

• Motherboard + blue wire.


• Sound sensor
• red, yellow and green LEDs
• small wires for connecting the components

Initical checks

• Check that the computer recognizes the motherboard and the serial port (blue
wire).
Sound sensor

• Is it analog or digital?
• Read its values through the serial port (using Arduino code if necessary). .
• Values when it's very noisy:
• Values when it is noisy:
• Vales when it is silent:

Traffic light
• Before join the sound sensor and the LEDs, create the traffic light and test its functioning.

Final programming
• Now you know how the components work and what you want to do in each range of
values, you are ready to program.
