38.58 cm away from the sonar sensor. Determine the number of LEDs that are turned ON. If we want the
system will display a message for any distance that how many LEDs are turned ON/OFF (for example,
“Two LEDs are turned ON and One LED is turned OFF”) then write the necessary changes that are
required to be included in the following program. Draw the relevant circuit diagram using Proteus and show
its simulation results including the serial monitor’s outputs.

Answer to The Question No 1

a) Travel Time Calculation:

Given,
Distance = 38.58 cm
Speed of sound = 340m/s = 34000cm/s

2
Now,

× 106
Travel
×38,58
Time =

34000
b) Number of LEDs Turned ON:
Using the conditions in the program: = 2270 us
 distanceThreshold = 100cm
 Distance = 38.58cm

We find that:
LED 1: Distance < distanceThreshold
LED 2: distanceThreshold-30 < Distance < distanceThreshold
LED 3: distanceThreshold-50 < Distance < distanceThreshold-30

So, if
38.58 < 100: LED 1 ON
38.58 < 70: LED 2 ON
38.58 < 50: LED 3 ON

Result: All three LEDs will be ON.

c) Modified code to include message for how many LEDs are turned ON or OFF:
const int trigPin = 8;
const int echoPin = 9;
long duration;
float distance, distanceinches, distanceThreshold;

void setup() {
Serial.begin(57400);
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{ digitalWrite(trigPin,
LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

distance = (duration / 2) * 1e-6 * 340 * 100;
distanceinches = (distance / 2.54);

Serial.print("Distance = ");
Serial.print(distance);
Serial.print(" cm; ");
Serial.print("Distance = ");
Serial.print(distanceinches);
Serial.println(" inches");

int ledCount = 0; // Counter for LEDs ON

distanceThreshold = 100;

if (distance > distanceThreshold)

{ digitalWrite(2, LOW);
digitalWrite(3, LOW);
digitalWrite(4, LOW);
ledCount = 0; // All LEDs OFF
} else if (distance < distanceThreshold && distance > distanceThreshold - 30)
{ digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(3, LOW);
digitalWrite(4, LOW);
ledCount = 1; // 1 LED ON
} else if (distance < distanceThreshold - 30 && distance > distanceThreshold - 50)
{ digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(4, LOW);
ledCount = 2; // 2 LEDs ON
} else if (distance < distanceThreshold - 50 && distance > distanceThreshold - 70)
{ digitalWrite(2, HIGH);
digitalWrite(3, HIGH);
digitalWrite(4, HIGH);
ledCount = 3; // 3 LEDs ON
}

Serial.print(ledCount);
Serial.print(" LED(s) are turned ON and ");
Serial.print(3 - ledCount); // Remaining LEDs
Serial.println(" LED(s) are turned OFF.");

Duty Cycle (%)=
Here,
OCR0B = 150+4+5 = 159

Now,

Duty Cycle (%) =

= 62.35%

Figure 1: Waveform obtained in Port D

b) Mode of Operation:
 The mode is configured WGM01 and WGM00 set in TCCR0A indicating Fast PWM Mode (Mode
3)
 The output compare match for Channel B (OBR0B) is set with COM0B1 enabling the PWM output
on pin PD5 (digital pin on Arduino)

Now, Operation Frequency of that mode based on the program segment:

Here,
Fclk = 21 Mhz
N = 1024 (Pre-scalar value)
256 is the resolution of 8-bit timer.

So,

c) Timer identification:
The code configures TCCR0A and TCCR0B, which are the registers for Timer 0 on the Arduino. Timer 0 is

Now,

Answer to the Question No 4

Here,
fOSC = 49 Mhz
UBBRRn = 010110101110 = 1454

Baud Rate Calculation:

BaudDouble-Speed = 2 49×10 = 16837.46 b
b) Normal Mode: ×(1454+1)

c) Synchronous Mode:

BaudSynchronous = 4209.89 b
×(1454+1)

Baud Error Calculation:

 Double Speed Mode:
Nearest standard baud rate = 19200bps

× 100 = −12.31%
16837.46−19200
Error(%) = 1920
0
 Normal Mode:
Nearest standard baud rate = 2400bps

× 100 = −12.29%
2104.95−2400
Error(%) = 240
 Synchronous Mode: 0
Nearest standard baud rate = 4800bps

× 100 = −12.27%
4209.89−4800
Error(%) = 480
0
For reliable UART communication, the baud error should typically be within ±2% for asynchronous modes and tighter
for synchronous modes.
Observations:
 All modes result in a significant baud error (approximately -12%)
 This large error exceeds the permissible limit, leading to potential communication errors

a) Output:
The transmitted string is:
Hello, Bangladeshi Engineers!\r

The serial monitor will display:

Hello, Bangladeshi Engineers!

The carriage return “\r” is typically not visible.

c) Slave state:
 Active State: The slave is active (listening) when the SS pin is LOW.
 Inactive State: The slave becomes inactive (ignoring data) when the SS pin is HIGH.

At the end of the program:

 The SS pin is set HIGH after the transmission ends.
 Therefore, the slave will be in an inactive state.
