Project Overview: The objective of this project is to create a radar-like system using an Arduino

Uno, an ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04), and a servo motor. This radar will detect nearby objects
and display their presence and approximate distance on a visual interface using Processing.
Additionally, it will control AC loads or home appliances through relay modules based on
detected proximity.

Components Required:

1. Arduino Uno
2. HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor
3. SG90 Servo Motor
4. 5V Power Adapter
5. Jumper wires (male to female)
6. Relay modules (for AC load control)
7. AC appliances (e.g., lamps, fans)
8. Laptop/PC with Arduino IDE and Processing IDE installed
9. Arduino app (for Android/iOS)
10. Processing app (for visualization)

Task Book:

Task 1: Initial Setup and Sensor Integration

1. Install Arduino IDE:


o Download and install the Arduino IDE from arduino.cc.
o Open the IDE and ensure it detects your Arduino Uno board.
2. Wire the Ultrasonic Sensor:
o Connect VCC of the HC-SR04 sensor to the 5V power adapter.
o Connect GND of the sensor to the GND of the power adapter.
o Connect Trig pin of the sensor to Arduino digital pin 7 (D7).
o Connect Echo pin of the sensor to Arduino digital pin 6 (D6).
3. Verify Sensor Readings:
o Write a simple Arduino sketch to read distance measurements from the ultrasonic
sensor.
o Upload the sketch to your Arduino Uno.
o Open Serial Monitor (Tools -> Serial Monitor) in Arduino IDE and set baud rate
to 9600.
o Verify that distance readings are displayed correctly as objects move near and
away from the sensor.

Task 2: Servo Motor Integration

1. Wire the Servo Motor:


o Connect VCC of the servo motor to the 5V power adapter.
o Connect GND of the servo motor to the GND of the power adapter.
o Connect the signal (control) wire of the servo motor to Arduino PWM-enabled
digital pin 9 (D9).
2. Test Servo Motor Movement:
o Upload a basic servo control example sketch from Arduino IDE (File ->
Examples -> Servo -> Sweep).
o Verify that the servo motor sweeps smoothly between 0 to 180 degrees.

Task 3: Controlling AC Loads/Home Appliances

1. Wire Relay Modules:


o Connect VCC of the relay module to Arduino 5V.
o Connect GND of the relay module to Arduino GND.
o Connect the control input (IN) of the relay module to Arduino digital pin (e.g.,
D8).
2. Test AC Load Control:
o Connect AC appliances to the relay module.
o Modify the Arduino sketch to control the relay module based on sensor readings.
o Ensure safety precautions when dealing with AC voltages.

Task 4: Processing App for Visualization

1. Install Processing IDE:


o Download and install the Processing IDE from processing.org.
o Open Processing and ensure it runs correctly on your laptop/PC.
2. Write Visualization Code:
o Write a Processing sketch to receive distance data from Arduino via serial
communication.
o Visualize detected objects and their distances on a graphical interface (e.g., radar-
like display).
o Display servo motor position to indicate direction of detection.

Task 5: Integration and Testing

1. Integrate Arduino and Processing:


o Ensure Arduino and Processing communicate correctly via serial communication.
o Test the radar system by moving objects within the sensor's range and observe the
visualization on Processing.
2. Calibration and Optimization:
o Calibrate the sensor and servo motor to improve accuracy and responsiveness.
o Optimize the code for better performance and reliability.

Task 6: Advanced Features (Optional)

1. Enhance Radar Functionality:


o Implement additional features such as multiple object detection, sound alarms, or
data logging.
2. Mobile Control with Arduino App:
o Develop an Arduino app (using Arduino IDE or third-party app development
tools) to remotely control and monitor the radar system.

Task 7: Documentation and Finalization

1. Document the Project:


o Create a detailed project report including:
 Circuit diagrams.
 Arduino and Processing code explanations with comments.
 Testing results and observations.
 Challenges encountered and their solutions.
2. Prepare for Presentation:
o Organize the documentation neatly for presentation or submission.
o Include any additional findings or insights gained during the project.

Task 8: Review and Feedback

1. Review by Supervisor:
o Present the project report and demonstration to your supervisor or instructor.
o Incorporate feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Task 9: Final Implementation

1. Finalize the Setup:

o Conduct a final test to verify the functionality and stability of the radar system.

Task 10: Project Conclusion

1. Reflect on the Project:


o Evaluate the overall success of the project in meeting its objectives.
o Discuss potential future enhancements or applications based on the project
outcomes.
