COURSE OVERVIEW
1. Arduino (Microcontroller Board)
A simple, beginner-friendly platform to write and upload code to control electronics.
Students learn how to program Arduino using C/C++ to interact with LEDs, sensors,
motors, and more.
2. Sensors
Students will explore various sensors to detect environmental conditions and trigger
responses:
Ultrasonic Sensor – Measures distance.
Temperature & Humidity Sensor (DHT11/DHT22) – For climate-based projects.
PIR Motion Sensor – Detects human movement.
Sound Sensor / Microphone – Used for clap switches or sound-reactive lights.
Color Sensor (TCS34725) – Detects color for sorting/color-sensitive lamps.
Gas/Smoke Sensor – For fire detection systems.
Pulse/Heart Rate Sensor – For health monitoring.
Soil Moisture Sensor – Used in agriculture-related projects.
pH & Turbidity Sensors – For water quality testing.
UV Sensor – For sun exposure awareness.
& many more
3. Actuators & Outputs
Students will use components that respond to sensor inputs:
LEDs – Light up in patterns, chase sequences, or based on conditions.
Buzzers – For alerts and alarms.
Servo Motors – For moving parts like doors or gates.
Relays – Control high-voltage appliances safely.
4. User Interfaces & Communication
Keypads – For entering secure codes.
Bluetooth Modules (HC-05) – For wireless control via mobile apps.
Displays (LCD/OLED) – To show sensor data or system feedback.
Gesture Sensors / Voice Inputs / Cameras – For advanced interaction in smart
systems.
Project Building Skills
Students will also gain experience in:
Circuit design and connections
Logical thinking and programming
Debugging and testing
Problem-solving through automation
Creative design of smart systems
