Activity: Arduino Programming Assessment
Submitted by: Sanjae Whyte
1. Part 1: Predict the result of an Arduino program.
• The given Arduino code will print numbers from 1 to 10 on the serial monitor,
each on a separate line.
2. Part 2: Predict the result of an Arduino program.
• This code will control a motor connected to pins 11 and 10 of the Arduino
based on the distance measured by the HC-SR04 sensor. If the distance is
greater than 10 inches, the motor will rotate in one direction (assumed
forward). If the distance is less than 2 inches, the motor will rotate in the
opposite direction. Otherwise, the motor will stop.
3. Part 3: Arduino program from a given flowchart.
int greenLedPin = 7; // Pin for green LED
int redLedPin = 8; // Pin for red LED
int buttonPin = 9; // Pin for button input
void setup() {
// Set pin modes
pinMode(greenLedPin, OUTPUT); // Green LED pin as output
pinMode(redLedPin, OUTPUT); // Red LED pin as output
pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); // Button pin as input
// Begin serial communication
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
// Read voltage at pin 9
int buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin);
// Check if button is pressed
if (buttonState == HIGH) {
// Button is pressed
Serial.println("Button is pressed");
// Turn on green LED and turn off red LED
digitalWrite(greenLedPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(redLedPin, LOW);
} else {
// Button is not pressed
// Turn on red LED and turn off green LED
digitalWrite(redLedPin, HIGH);
digitalWrite(greenLedPin, LOW);
}
// Delay to avoid reading the button state too quickly
delay(100);
}
4. Part 4: Flowchart for a given algorithm.
