Sensor systems

Midterm project assignment

Project task:
The goal of this project is to build a system that is managed with the help of Arduino
microcontrollers. The microcontroller should be able to communicate using Bluetooth, commands
to the controller will be given by text messages via the application on the mobile phone.
To realize this project it is necessary to use android application for Bluetooth communication:

The hardware for this project should include temperature sensor LM35, photoresistor and
ultrasonic module. Also, hardware has two buttons to control the frequency of sending messages.
Arduino controller needs to measure distance, illumination and temperature on each 0.5 seconds.
Arduino controller should send periodic message via Bluetooth, by starting the program, the
frequency of sending the message should be 5 seconds. Each time you press the first button, the
frequency decreases by 1 second, and pressing the second button increases the frequency by 1
second. The frequency of sending the message always remains in the range of 1 to 10s. Each
message should contain average measurements since the last message was sent. The message
should look like:
“Distance: 2.0 cm,
Temperature: 20 C,
Illumination: 20 lux”

Project report:

Students need to prepare and submit a report explaining the solution to this project assignment.
The report should include a circuit wiring diagram to accomplish this task (you can use the free
software http://fritzing.org/home/ to draw the schemes). The report should also include a
description of the conceptual design (eg. a diagram illustrating the basic idea of the program
implementation) and a brief explanation of the conceptual design. This report should also include
the implementation code with appropriate comments and accompanying text explaining the logic
of the implemented solution to the student.
The complete report should be sent to the teaching professor by e-mail
mtanaskovic@singidunum.ac.rs Thursday 14.11.2019 at 12:00 (noon). Reports that are not
submitted by this deadline will not be considered.

Project defense:

In order to pass, students must defend a completed project. Part of the defense is a practical
presentation that should show that their solution really works.
The project assignment will be organized on Friday 15.11.2019 at 10:00. The defense will be
organized in the ER Laboratory. Students who do not come to the defense of the project without
valid reasoning will not be able to get points.

Students will receive points based on the correctness of the solution, the quality of the report and
the demonstrated knowledge on defense. The maximum number of points that can be earned
through this project assignment is 10.
