Project 10

LION FAN SITTING

Make a funny fun with the DC motor module and stay cool!!

BEFORE TO START

• DIFFICULTY LEVEL: Intermediate
• DURATION OF THE ACTIVITY: 45 min.

MATERIALS:

1 - Build&Code 4in1 board
1 - DC Motor with propeller
1 - Temperature sensor

1 - Switch button module
1 - Rotary Potentiometer module
Battery holder, USB cable and wires.

10 - DC Motor and Temperature sensor

The DC Motor is the way to make things spin fast. We can define rotation direction according polarity, but not position as servos. There are many different types and powers, but always will be less strong than a servo, you should use a reduction gearbox to get it strong, and slower. Is the more common part to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy.

There are a lot of applications were we need to know temperature. The temperature sensor is the way to go! In most cases it's a resitance that varies with temperature. So it must be read as the potentiometer. We have to know the curve, or relation between resistance values and temperature. According materials used on the sensor, they can have better accuracy in some particular range. Ebotics sensor have these specs:

Precision: ±2°C
Linear degree：±0.5°C
Operating voltage：+2.7 V to +5.5 V DC

Measuring range: -40°C to +125°C.
Correlation coefficient: +10 mV/°C

10. Lion fan sitting - Circuit

DC motors requires more current than a LED, so we cannot use digital output as source directly. The module includes a transistor, so digital port gives signal, and power pins supply current.

Connect wires from 4in1 board to components:
- DIO4 to Button
- DIO6 to DC Motor
- A1 to Potentiometer

10.1 DC Motor

First of all, we are going to run our fan pressing the button. It wil go faster if we maintain pressed the button!

Block Coding

Arduino Coding

//Lets fun
void setup() {
  pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(4, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
 if(digitalRead(4)){
    for (int x = 0; x < 255; x=x + 10)
    {
      analogWrite(6, x );
      delay (250);
    }
  }else{
    analogWrite(6, 0 );  }
}

10.2 Vary speed with the potentiometer

To be able to change speed, we use also PWM output signal. According duty cycle, the transistor in the module lets pass more or less current, as if it were a tap

Block coding

Arduino code

int cd_motor = 6;
int potenciometro = 1;

int valorpot;
int valor;
int valor1;

void setup() {
  pinMode(cd_motor, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  valorpot = analogRead(potenciometro);
  valor = map(valorpot, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
  valor1 = map(valorpot, 0, 1023, 255, 0);
 
  analogWrite(cd_motor, valor);
  analogWrite(cd_motor, valor1);
  
}

How do you do to start or stop the fan depending on the ambient light? Try it!! When light appears, the fan automatically runs!!

Final project - Lion fan sitting

Now you are ready to make a nicer fan! Try to build our lion fan sitting with the cardboard template You can to use the temperature sensor module so it will move air automatically when it's too hot!!

Block coding

Arduino code

int PPot = 5; // Analog pin for potentiometer
int ValuePot; // variable for potentiometer measure
int PMotor = 9; // Digital pin for motor fan
int SpeedMotor; // Variable for motor fan speed

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
  Serial.begin (9600);
  pinMode(PMotor, OUTPUT); // motor configuration as an output signal
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
  Speed(); // call the engine speed function
  analogWrite(PMotor,SpeedMotor); // Motor fan = ON and speed = potentiometer
}

void Speed() // Function to calculate engine speed
{
  ValuePot = analogRead(PPot); // measure potentiometer reading
  SpeedMotor = map (ValuePot, 0, 1023, 0, 200); // scale potentiometer measurements
}

}

FINISHED!
