Definition of Sensor
 Sensor is a device that detects or measures a physical property and records, indicates, or
otherwise responds to it.
 A sensor is a device that measures physical input from its environment and converts it into
data that can be interpreted by either a human or a machine.
 Normally, the sensors are input devices and there are two types of sensors.

MQ-02/05 Gas Sensor – Working principle
 When any flammable gas passes through the coil of the sensor, the coil burns and internal
resistance decreases.
 This results in an increased voltage across it. Hence we get variable voltage at A0 pin of MQ-05
gas sensor.
 If gas present -> voltage is high.
 If gas is not present -> voltage is low.

20   cm = (duration/2) / 29.1;  
21   inches = (duration/2) / 74; But, Time of pulse we receive is in µs
22 Serial.print(inches); and distance we want to find is in cm.
23   Serial.print("in, "); Distance(cm) = Speed (cm/µs) x Time
24   Serial.print(cm);

ARM Register Organization - SFRs
1. Stack Pointer (SP/r13)
 The stack pointer holds the address of the top of the stack.
 It is used for accessing the stack memory.
2. Link Register (LR/r14)
 This register stores the address of next instruction to be executed when the interrupt is generated and the
processor will jump to execute the service routine or subroutine.
 After executing the subroutine, this register will return the address from where the program was
interrupted.
3. Program Counter (PC/r15)
 The program counter is used to sequence the flow of execution of program.
 It holds the address of the next instruction to be executed.

Current Program Status Register (CPSR)
 CPSR is the status register or flag register equivalent to PSW in 8051 but
CPSR is of 32 bits.
 The format of CPSR register is shown in figure.
 Among 32 bits, 20 bits are unused or reserved for future expansion.

 Mode selection bits
 ARM can operate in seven different modes. Total 5 bit 0 to 4 are assigned for mode
selection.
 T – Thumb mode selection
 If this bit is set to 1, ARM works in Thumb mode else ARM works in normal mode.
 F – FIQ Interrupt Mask
 This bit is set to zero to enable FIQ interrupts.
 I – IRQ Interrupt Mask
 This bit is set to zero to enable IRQ or normal interrupts.

Current Program Status Register (CPSR)
 V – Overflow Flag
 When result of a signed operation results in an overflow, this flag is set to 1.
 C – Carry Flag
 This flag is set to 1 if the result of an ALU operation generates carry.
 Z – Zero Flag
 This flag is set to 1 if the result of an ALU operation is zero.
 N – Negative Flag
 This flag is set to 1 if the result of an ALU operation is negative.

Comparison of Flash, SRAM and EEPROM
 Flash memory is also known as program memory where the program for any microcontroller or
IC is stored.
 SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) is where the program creates and manipulates
variables and stores temporary data.
 EEPROM(Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is the space where
programmer need to store long term information.
