Week 8 Input Devices

✅ group assignment: probe an input device's analog levels and digital signals

Different digital and analog signals with the Saleae logic analizer, magnetometer, and the oscilloscope.

✅ individual assignment: measure something: add a sensor to a microcontroller board that you have designed and read it

For week 8 I programed a infrared sensor, potentially using it as a limit switch for machines

	// Define a variable for the pin number
	int sensorPin = D3;
	
	void setup() {
	  Serial.begin(9600);          // Start serial communication at 9600 baud
	  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT_PULLUP);
	  // Using INPUT_PULLUP so that the internal pull-up resistor is enabled.
	  // If the pin is connected to a button that goes to ground, it will read LOW when pressed.
	}
	
	void loop() {
	  int sensorValue = digitalRead(sensorPin); // Read the value from the pin
	  Serial.print("Pin ");
	  Serial.print(sensorPin);
	  Serial.print(" state: ");
	  Serial.println(sensorValue);              // Print the pin state (0 or 1)
	
	  delay(100); // Wait half a second for readability
	}

I made a joy stick to control the microscope stage of the Raman spectrometer, Marcello was a big help during this part.
