Keyestudio PLUS Control Board

Description

Keyestudio PLUS control board is fully compatible with Arduino IDE development environment. It contains all the functions of the Arduino UNO board. Moreover, some improvements we made highly strengthen its function. It is the best choice to learn how to build circuit and write code as well. Let’s get started!

• Serial communication interface: D0 is RX, D1 is TX
• PWM interface (pulse width modulation): D3 D5 D6 D9 D10 D11
• External interrupt interface: D2 (interrupt 0) and D3 (interrupt 1)
• SPI communication interface: D10 is SS, D11 is MOSI, D12 is MISO, D13 is SCK
• IIC communication port: A4 is SDA, A5 is SCL

Installing driver

Let’s install the driver of keyestudio PLUS control board. The USB-TTL chip on PLUS board adopts CP2102 serial chip. The driver program of this chip is included in Arduino 1.8 version and above, which is convenient. Plug on USB port of board, the computer can recognize the hardware and automatically install the driver of CP2102.

If install unsuccessfully, or you intend to install manually, open the device manager of computer. Right click Computer—— Properties—— Device Manager.

There is a yellow exclamation mark on the page, which implies installing the driver of CP2102 unsuccessfully. Then we double click the hardware and update the driver.

Click “OK” to enter the following page, click “browse my computer for updated driver software”, find out the installed or downloaded ARDUINO software. As shown below:

There is a DRIVERS folder in Arduino software installed package（）, open driver folder and you can see the driver of CP210X series chips.

We click “Browse”, then find out the driver folder, or you could enter “driver” to search in rectangular box, then click “next”, the driver will be installed successfully. (I place Arduino software folder on the desktop, you could follow my way)

Arduino IDE Setting

Then select the correct COM port (you can see the corresponding COM port after the driver is successfully installed)

Before uploading the program to the board, let’s demonstrate the function of each symbol in the Arduino IDE toolbar.

A- Used to verify whether there is any compiling mistakes or not.
B- Used to upload the sketch to your Arduino board.
C- Used to create shortcut window of a new sketch.
D- Used to directly open an example sketch.

F- Used to send the serial data received from board to the serial monitor.

Start your first program

Open the file to select Example, choose BLINK from BASIC, as shown below:

Set board and COM port, the corresponding board and COM port are shown on the lower right of IDE.

Click to start compiling the program, check errors.

Click to upload the program, upload successfully.

Upload the program successfully, the onboard LED lights on for 1s, lights off for 1s. Congratulation, you finish the first program.

How to Add a Library?

What are Libraries ?
Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect to a sensor,display, module, etc.
For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library helps talk to LCD displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for download.
The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the reference.

Here we will introduce the most simple way for you to add libraries.

Step 1：After downloading well the Arduino IDE, you can right-click the icon of Arduino IDE.

Find the option «Open file location» shown as below:

Step 2: Enter it to find out libraries folder which is the library file of Arduino.

Step 3：Next to find out the“libraries”of smart home(seen in the link: https://fs.keyestudio.com/KS0085), as shown below:

You just need to replicate and paste into the libraries folder of Arduino IDE.

Projects

Alright, let’s get straight to our projects. In this kit, there are 14 sensors and modules included. We will start with the simple sensor to make you know the smart home deeply.
However, if you are an enthusiast with Arduino knowledge. You could skip theses steps, assemble the smart home kit directly(there is assembly video in the folder)

Note: In this course, the interface of each sensor / module marked with (G,-, GND) indicates the negative pole, G is connected to G or — or GND of sensor shield or control board; “V” implies positive pole which is linked with V or VCC or 5V.

Project 1: LED Blink

Description：

In previous lesson, we installed the driver of keystudio V4.0 development board, we start from simple projects. For this lesson we will perform “Arduion blinks LED”, which is the basic practice for starter.
We provide a test code to control LED to perform blinking effect. In the code, you could set distinct flashing scene by changing the time of lighting on and off. Power on GND and VCC, the LED will light on when signal end S is high level, on the contrary, LED will turn off when signal end S is low level.

Specifications：

• Control interface: digital port
• Working voltage: DC 3.3-5V
• Pin pitch: 2.54mm
• LED display color: white
• Size: 30 * 20mm
• Weight: 3g

Sensor shield

We usually combine Arduino control board with other sensors, modules and multiple sensors, which is difficult to wire. Conversely, this sensor shield cover this problem, you just need to stack on keyestudio PLUS control board when you use it.

This shield can be directly inserted into 3PIN sensors, it breaks out the common used communication ports as well, such as serial communication, IIC communication, SPI communication. What’s more, the shield comes with a reset button and 2 signal lights.

Connection Diagram：

Test Code：

/*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 1
Blink
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
}//

Test Result：

Upload test code successfully, white LED starts blinking, lights on for 1000ms, lights off for 1000ms, alternately.

Code Explanation

So the code contains the many vital information, such as the author, the issued agreement, etc.

Most people omit comments, starter should develop a good habit of looking through code. Firstly, check comments. They contain the provided information and do help you understand test code quickly. Secondly, form the habit of writing comments

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

According to comments, we will find that author define the D13 pin mode as digital output in setup() function. Setup() is the basic function of Arduino. It will execute once in the running of program, usually as definition pin, define and ensure the variables.

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
}

Loop() is the necessary function of Arduino, it can run and loop all the time after “setup()” executes once
In the loop()function, author uses
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)

digitalWrite(): set the output voltage of pin to high or low level. We make D13 output high level, then the LED lights on.
delay(1000); // wait for a second
Delay function is used for delaying time, 1000ms is 1s, unit is ms

digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
Similarly, we make D13 output low level, LED will turn off.
delay(1000); // wait for a second

Delay for 1s, light on LED—keep on 1s—light off LED—stay on 1s, iterate the process. LED flashes with 1-second interval. What if you want to make LED flash rapidly? You only need to modify the value of delay block. Reducing the delay value implies that the time you wait is shorter, that is, flashing rapidly. Conversely, you could make LED flash slowly.

Project 2: Breathing Light

Description

In the previous lesson, we control LED on and off and make it blink.
In this project, we will control LED brightness through PWM to simulate breathing effect. Similarly, you can change the step length and delay time in the code so as to demonstrate different breathing effect.

PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.In general, the input voltage of port are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or what if switch among 1V, 3V and 3.5V? We can’t change resistor constantly. For this situation, we need to control by PWM.

For the Arduino digital port voltage output, there are only LOW and HIGH, which correspond to the voltage output of 0V and 5V. You can define LOW as 0 and HIGH as 1, and let the Arduino output five hundred 0 or 1 signals within 1 second.
If output five hundred 1, that is 5V; if all of which is 1, that is 0V. If output 010101010101 in this way then the output port is 2.5V, which is like showing movie. The movie we watch are not completely continuous. It actually outputs 25 pictures per second. In this case, the human can’t tell it, neither does PWM. If want different voltage, need to control the ratio of 0 and 1. The more 0,1 signals output per unit time, the more accurately control.

Equipment：

Connection Diagram：

Note: on sensor shield, the G, V and S pins of yellow LED module are linked with G, V and 5.

Test Code：

 /*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 2
PWM
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
int ledPin = 5; // Define the LED pin at D5
void setup () {
      pinMode (ledPin, OUTPUT); // initialize ledpin as an output.
}
void loop () {
for (int value = 0; value<255; value = value + 1) {
     analogWrite (ledPin, value); // LED lights gradually light up
     delay (5); // delay 5MS
   }
   for (int value = 255; value>0; value = value-1) {
     analogWrite (ledPin, value); // LED gradually goes out
     delay (5); // delay 5MS
   }}
//

Test Result：

Upload test code successfully, LED gradually becomes brighter then darker, like human breath, rather than light on and off immediately

Code analysis

When we need to repeat some statements, we have to use “for” statement
For statement format as follows:

for (int value = 0; value < 255; value=value+1){
        ...
}
for (int value = 255; value >0; value=value-1){
       ...
}

The two “for”statement make value increase from 0 to 255, then reduce from 255 to 0, then increase to 255,….infinite loop
There is a new function in “for” statement —— analogWrite()

We know that digital port only has two state of 0 and 1. So how to send an analog value to a digital value? Here, we need this function, observe the Arduino board and you will find 6 pins with “~”. They are different from other pins and can output PWM signals.

Function format as follows:
analogWrite(pin,value)
analogWrite() is used to write an analog value from 0~255 for PWM port, so the value is in the range of 0~255, attention that you only write the digital pins with PWM function, such as pin 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11.

PWM is a technology to obtain analog quantity through digital method. Digital control forms a square wave, and the square wave signal only has two states of switching (that is, high or low levels of our digital pins). By controlling the ratio of the duration of on and off, a voltage varying from 0 to 5V can be simulated. The time taken(academically referred to as high level) is called pulse width, so PWM is also called pulse width modulation.
Through the following five square waves, let’s know more about PWM.

In the above figure, the green line represents a period, and value of analogWrite() corresponds to a percentage which is called Duty Cycle as well. Duty cycle implies that high-level duration is divided by low-level duration in a cycle. From top to bottom, the duty cycle of first square wave is 0% and its corresponding value is 0. The LED brightness is lowest, that is, turn off. The more time high level lasts, the brighter the LED. Therefore, the last duty cycle is 100%, which correspond to 255, LED is brightest. 25% means darker.
PWM mostly is used for adjusting the LED brightness or rotation speed of motor.

Project 3: Passive Buzzer

Description

There are prolific interactive works completed by Arduino. The most common one is sound and light display. We always use LED to make experiments. For this lesson, we design circuit to emit sound. The universal sound components are buzzer and horns. Buzzer is easier to use. And buzzer includes about active buzzer and passive buzzer. In this experiment, we adopt passive buzzer.
While using passive buzzer, we can control different sound by inputting square waves with distinct frequency. During the experiment, we control code to make buzzer sound, begin with “tick, tick” sound, then make passive buzzer emit “do re mi fa so la si do”, and play specific songs.

Connection Diagram：

Note: The G, V, and S port of the passive buzzer module are separately connected to G, V, and 3 on the shield, power up.

Test Code：

 /*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 3.1
Buzzer
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
int tonepin = 3; // Set the Pin of the buzzer to the digital D3
     void setup ()
     {
       pinMode (tonepin, OUTPUT); // Set the digital IO pin mode to output
     }
     void loop ()
     {
       unsigned char i, j;
       while (1)
       {
         for (i = 0; i <80; i ++) // output a frequency sound
         {
           digitalWrite (tonepin, HIGH); // Sound
           delay (1); // Delay 1ms
           digitalWrite (tonepin, LOW); // No sound
           delay (1); // Delay 1ms
         }
         for (i = 0; i <100; i ++) // output sound of another frequency
         {
           digitalWrite (tonepin, HIGH); // Sound
           delay (2); // delay 2ms
           digitalWrite (tonepin, LOW); // No sound
           delay (2); // delay 2ms
         }}}
//

Test Result：

From the above code, 80 and 100 decide frequency in “for” statement. Delay controls duration, like the beat in music.

We will play fabulous music if we control frequency and beats well, so let’s figure out the frequency of tones. As shown below:

After knowing the frequency of tone, next to control the time the note plays. The music will be produces when every note plays a certain amount of time. The note rhythm is divided into one beat, half beat, 1/4 beat, 1/8 beat, we stipulate the time for a note to be 1, half beat is 0.5, 1/4 beat is 0.25, 1/8 beat is 0.125….., Therefore, the music is played.
We will take example of “Ode to joy”

From notation, the music is 4/4 beat.
There are special notes we need to explain:
1.Normal note, like the first note 3, correspond to 350(frequency), occupy 1 beat
2.The note with underline means 0.5 beat
3.The note with dot(3.)means that 0.5 beat is added, that is 1+0.5 beat
4.The note with”—” represents that 1 beat is added, that is 1+1 beat.
5.The two successive notes with arc imply legato, you could slightly modify the frequency of the note behind legato(need to debug it yourself), such like reducing or increasing some values, the sound will be more smoother.

Project 4：Controlling LED by Button Module

Description：

In this project, we will control LED to light on and off via button module. When the button is pressed, the signal end outputs low level (0); when released, the signal end of sensor keeps high level(1).

Connection Diagram：

Note: The G, V, and S pins of button sensor module are separately connected to G, V, and 4 on the shield, and the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are connected to G, V, and 5 on the shield.

Test Code：

Next to design the program, we make LED on by button. Comparing with previous experiments, we add a conditional judgement statement. We use if statement. The written sentences of Arduino is based on C language, therefore, the condition judgement statement of C is suitable for Arduino, like while, swich, etc.
For this lesson, we take simple “if” statement as example to demonstrate:

If button is pressed, digital 4 is low level, then we make digital 5 output high level , then LED will be on; conversely, if the button is released, digital 4 is high level, we make digital 5 output low level, then LED will go off.
As for your reference：

if (val == LOW) // Whether the key is pressed, the light will be on when pressed
{digitalWrite (ledpin, HIGH);}
else
{digitalWrite (ledpin, LOW);}
}
//

Test Result：

This experiment is pretty simple, and widely applied to various of circuits and electrical appliances. In our life, you could find this principle on any device, such as the backlight is on when press any buttons, which is the typical appliance.

Project 5：1-channel Relay Module

Description

This module is an Arduino dedicated module, and compatible with arduino sensor expansion board. It has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop).
Commonly used in automatic control circuits, the relay module is an «automatic switch» that controls a larger current and a lower voltage with a smaller current and a lower voltage.

Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and conversion circuit in the circuit. It allows Arduino to drive loads below 3A, such as LED light strips, DC motors, miniature water pumps, solenoid valve pluggable interface.
The main internal components of the relay module are electromagnet A, armature B, spring C, moving contact D, static contact (normally open contact) E, and static contact (normally closed contact) F, (as shown in the figure ).

As long as a certain voltage is applied to both ends of the coil, a certain current will flow through the coil to generate electromagnetic effects, and the armature will attract the iron core against the pulling force of the return spring under the action of electromagnetic force attraction, thereby driving the moving contact and the static contact (normally open contact) to attract. When the coil is disconnected, the electromagnetic suction will also disappear, and the armature will return to the original position under the reaction force of the spring, releasing the moving contact and the original static contact (normally closed contact). This pulls in and releases, thus achieving the purpose of turning on and off in the circuit. The «normally open and closed» contacts of the relay can be distinguished in this way: the static contacts on disconnected state when the relay coil is powered off are called «normally open contacts»; the static contacts on connected state are called «normally closed contact». The module comes with 2 positioning holes for you to fix the module to other equipment.

Specifications：

• Working voltage: 5V (DC)
• Interface: G, V, S interface
• Input signal: digital signal (high level 1, low level 0)
• Contacts: static contacts (normally open contacts, normally closed contacts) and moving contacts
• Rated current: 10A (NO) 5A (NC)
• Maximum switching voltage: 150 V (AC) 24 V (DC)
• Electric shock current: less than 3A
• Weight: 15g
• Contact action time: 10ms

Equipment：

Connection Diagram：

Note: On the shield, the G, V, and S pins of 1-channel relay module are connected to G, V, and 12 respectively. The NO is linked with V; the G, V, and S pins of white LED are respectively connected to G, V, and the static contact of NO on relay module.

Test Code：

/*

int Relay = 12; // Define the relay pin at D12
void setup ()
{
pinMode (13, OUTPUT); // Set Pin13 as output
digitalWrite (13, HIGH); // Set Pin13 High

}
void loop ()
{
digitalWrite (Relay, HIGH); // Turn off relay
delay (2000);
digitalWrite (Relay, LOW); // Turn on relay
delay (2000);
}
//

Test Result：
Wire, power up and upload test code. The relay is connected(“NO” is on , NC is off) for 0.5s, then disconnected for 0.5s (NC is on, NO is off), and alternately. When the relay is connected, the white LED will be on, conversely, the white LED will go off.

Project 6：Photocell Sensor

Description

The photocell sensor (photoresistor) is a resistor made by the photoelectric effect of a semiconductor. It is very sensitive to ambient light, thus its resistance value vary with different light intensity.
We use its features to design a circuit and generate a photoresistor sensor module. The signal end of the module is connected to the analog port of the microcontroller. When the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases, and the voltage of the analog port rises, that is, the analog value of the microcontroller also goes up. Otherwise, when the light intensity decreases, the resistance increases, and the voltage of the analog port declines. That is, the analog value of the microcontroller becomes smaller. Therefore, we can use the photoresistor sensor module to read the corresponding analog value and sense the light intensity in the environment.
It is commonly applied to light measurement, control and conversion, light control circuit as well.

Specifications：

• Working voltage: 3.3V-5V (DC)
• Interface: 3PIN interface
• Output signal: analog signal
• Weight: 2.3g

Equipment:

Connection Diagram：

Note: On the expansion board, the G, V, and S pins of the photocell sensor module are connected to G, V, and A1; the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are linked with G, V, and 5 separately.

Test Code：

/*

*/
int LED = 5; // Set LED pin at D5
int val = 0; // Read the voltage value of the photodiode
void setup () {
       pinMode (LED, OUTPUT); // LED is output
       Serial.begin (9600); // The serial port baud rate is set to 9600
}
void loop () {
       val = analogRead (A1); // Read the voltage value of A1 Pin
       Serial.println (val); // Serial port to view the change of voltage value
       if (val <900)
       {// Less than 900, LED light is off
       digitalWrite (LED, LOW);
       } 
       else 
       {// Otherwise, the LED lights up
       digitalWrite (LED, HIGH);
       }
       delay (10); // Delay 10ms
} 
//

Test Result：

LED will be on after uploading test code, point at the photocell sensor with flashlight (or the flash from cellphone), you’ll find that LED is automatically off. However, take away the flashlight, LED will be on again.

Review
For this code string, it is simply. We read value through analog port, please attention that analog quantity doesn’t need input and output mode.Read the analog value of photocell sensor by analog port.

The analog value will gradually decreases once there is light, the value is up to 1000, this value can be chosen according to brightness you need. Select method: put the whole device in the environment where LED is off, open serial monitor to check shown value, replace 1000 with this value. Read value from serial monitor is a good way to modulate code

Project 7：Adjusting Motor Servo Angle

Description

When we make this kit, we often control doors and windows with servos. In this course, we’ll introduce its principle and how to use servo motors.
Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor. Its working principle is that the servo receives the signal sent by MCU or receiver and produces a reference signal with a period of 20ms and width of 1.5ms, then compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.

Servo motor comes with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange colors (different brand may have different color).
Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal line.

The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of PWM signal is 20ms (50Hz). Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms, but in fact, it’s between 0.5ms-2.5ms. The width corresponds the rotation angle from 0° to 180°. But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotation angle. 

There are two ways to control a servomotor with Arduino.
One is to use a common digital sensor port of Arduino to produce square wave with different duty cycle to simulate PWM signal and use that signal to control the positioning of the motor.
Another way is to directly use the Servo function of the Arduino to control the motor. In this way, the program will be easier but it can only control two-contact motor because for the servo function, only digital pin 9 and 10 can be used.
The Arduino drive capacity is limited. So if you need to control more than one motor, you will need external power.

Project 9：Steam Sensor

Description

This is a commonly used steam sensor. Its principle is to detect the amount of water by bare printed parallel lines on the circuit board. The more the water is, the more wires will be connected.

Project 11: Analog（MQ-2）Sensor

Description

This gas sensor is used for household gas leak alarms, industrial combustible gas alarms and portable gas detection instruments. And it is suitable for the detection of liquefied gas, benzene, alkane, alcohol, hydrogen, etc., and widely used in various fire alarm systems. The MQ-2 smoke sensor can be accurately a multi-gas detector, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good stability, long life, and simple drive circuit.
It can detect the concentration of flammable gas and smoke in the range of 300~10000ppm.Meanwhile, it has high sensitivity to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and other smoke, especially to alkanes smoke.
It must be heated for a period of time before using the smoke sensor, otherwise the output resistance and voltage are not accurate. However, the heating voltage should not be too high, otherwise it will cause my internal signal line to blow.

It is belongs to the tin dioxide semiconductor gas-sensitive material, and belongs to the surface ion type N-type semiconductor. At a certain temperature, tin dioxide adsorbs oxygen in the air and forms negative ion adsorption of oxygen, reducing the electron density in the semiconductor, thereby increasing its resistance value. When in contact with flammable gas in the air and smog, if the potential barrier at the grain boundary is adjusted by the smog, it will cause the surface conductivity to change. With this, information about the presence of smoke or flammable gas can be obtained. The greater the concentration of smoke or flammable gas in the air, the greater the conductivity, and the lower the output resistance, the larger the analog signal output. The sensor comes with a positioning hole, which is convenient for you to fix the sensor to other devices. In addition, the sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the potentiometer.

Specifications:

• Working voltage: 3.3-5V (DC)
• Interface: 4 pins (VCC, GND, D0, A0)
• Output signal: digital signal and analog signal
• Weight: 7.5g

Project 13: Soil Humidity Sensor

Description

This is a simple soil humidity sensor aims to detect the soil humidity.
If the soil is in lack of water, the analog value output by the sensor will decrease; otherwise, it will increase. If you use this sensor to make an automatic watering device, it can detect whether your botany is thirsty to prevent it from withering when you go out.
Using the sensor with Arduino controller makes your plant more comfortable and your garden smarter. The soil humidity sensor module is not as complicated as you might think, and if you need to detect the soil in your project, it will be your best choice. The sensor is set with two probes inserted into the soil, then with the current go through the soil, the sensor will get resistance value by reading the current changes between the two probes and convert such resistance value into moisture content. The higher moisture (less resistance), the higher conductivity the soil has. Insert it into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind of you: I need water.

Mount the yellow LED on the corresponding area of E board with 1 M3*10MM round head screw and 1 M3 nickel plated nut，then connect with a 3pin dupont line.

Step 8: Install control board, sensors and parts of H board

Prepare a servo, a passive buzzer, 4pcs M1.2*5 self-tapping screws, a white cross mount(included in servo), a M2*5 screw( included in servo), 2pcs M2*12MM round head screws, 2pcs M2 nickel plated nuts, a M3*10MM round screw, a M3 nickel plated nut, 8pcs M3*6MM round head screws, 4pcs M3*10MM dual-pass copper pillars, a Keyestudio PLUS control board，a sensor shield, a 3pinF-F Dupont line, a board E, 2 gears and 2pcs board 2.

• A.Mount 4pcs dual-pass copper pillars on the H board with 4pcs M3*6MM screws
• B.Then fix the passive buzzer on H board with 1 M3*10MM round head screw and 1 MS nut.
• C.Connect them with a 3pin female to female dupont wire

Rotate the servo to 90° before installing, the method is same as the step 6.
Fix the 4pcs M3*10MM copper pillars on the keyestudio PLUS control board with 4 M3*6MM round head screws, then fix the servo on the corresponding area of H board with 2 M2*12MM round head screws and 2 M2 nuts.

Assemble 2pcs board 2 together, then fix white cross mount on the gear with 4pcs M1.2*5 self-tapping screws

Step 9: Assemble A, B, C, D, E and H board together, then fix them with 2 “T” type bolts.

(Note: the power interface of PLUS control board is aligned with the hole ⑧ on board B, and the interface of USB cable is aligned with the hole ⑦ on board B)

Step 10: Install the sensor of F board

Prepare a steam sensor, a photocell sensor, a fan module(with fan), a board F, 2pcs 3pinF-F Dupont line, 4pcs F-F dupont lines, 3pcs M3*10MM round head screws and 3pcs M3 nickel plated nuts.

Separately fix steam sensor, photocell sensor and fan module on the F board with 3pcs M3*10MM round head screws and 3pcs M3 nuts, then connect them with 3pin and 4pin dupont lines.

Step 11: Connect sensor/module

Connect one end of 3pin dupont line to the pin of soil humidity sensor, then link all sensors to sensor shield. (fix 2 servo and make dupont wire go through the holes of board)

Insert the Bluetooth module into sensor shield, then fix the F board with 2 M3*10MM round head screws, 2 M3 nuts and 2 pcs parts with holes in the middle, mount G board well with 2 “T” type bolts.

Step 12: Assemble the kit

Fix the board I with 6 “T” bolts

Project 15：Multi-purpose Smart Home Kit

Description

In the previous projects, we introduce how to use sensors, modules and HM-10 Bluetooth module. For this lesson, we will perform all functions
We will achieve the effect as follows:

• Photocell sensor, PIR motion sensor and LED. When at night, someone passes by, LED is on; nobody is around, the LED is off.

• There are 1602LCD display, 2 buttons, 1 servo on the board. Press button1 to enter the password(you can set password in the test code), the 1602LCD will show “*”, then press button2 to “ensure”. If the password is correct, the 1602LCD will show “open”, the door will be open. However, if the password is wrong, the “error” pops up , after 2s, “error” will turn into “again” , you can enter password again.

The door will be closed when PIR motion sensor doesn’t detect people around. What’s more, press and hold button2, buzzer will sound, LCD displays “wait”.（If the password is right, the servo will rotate to 180°, otherwise，the servo don’t rotate）

Note: The correct password is ”. — — . — .” which means that short press button1, long press button1, long press button1, short press button1, long press button1, short press button1.

”- ”means long press button1, ”.”means short press button1

KS0085 Keyestudio Smart Home Kit for Arduino

1.Overview:

This Smart Home Learning Kit based on the Arduino platform is newly rolled out by Keyestudio DIY Robot Co. Ltd.

It simulates the real smart home and demonstrates the cozy and comfortable life for people.

In fact, the logic programming, an invisible hand, controls everything in smart home: it turns on the air conditioner, boots up the water heater, secures your home with an electronic lock, and sets your LED lights and smart curtains to turn on automatically when you get home. Meanwhile, the intelligent lighting system allows you to create a comfortable, tranquil atmosphere. Everything is finished by a remote control or your own cellphone.

As Bill Gates puts it, «In the near future, a house without a smart home system will be as unfashionable as a home without Internet access today.»

So, go ahead and get started; let’s build this amazing analog smart home.

3.Download Software & Install Driver

Installing Arduino IDE

When you get control board, you need to download Arduino IDE and driver firstly.

You could download Arduino IDE from the official website:

https://www.arduino.cc/, click the SOFTWARE on the browse bar to enter download page, as shown below:

There are various versions of IDE for Arduino. Just download a version compatible with your system. Here we will show you how to download and install the windows version of Arduino IDE.

You can choose between the Installer (.exe) and the Zip packages. We suggest you use the first one that installs directly everything you need to use the Arduino Software (IDE), including the drivers. With the Zip package you need to install the drivers manually. The Zip file is also useful if you want to create a portable installation.

4.How to Add Libraries?

What are Libraries ?

Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to drive a sensor,display, module, etc.

For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library helps talk to LCD displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for download.

The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the reference.

https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Libraries

Then, the libraries of home smart are successfully installed.

5.Projects

Alright, let’s get straight to our projects. In this kit, there are 14 sensors and modules. We will make you know the smart home deeply from the simple sensor.

However, if you are professional with Arduino. You can skip theses steps and assemble the smart home kit directly(there is assembly video in the folder)

Note: In this course, the interface of each sensor / module marked with (G,-, GND) indicates the negative pole, G is connected to G, — or GND of sensor shield or control board; “V” is positive pole and connected with V, VCC or 5V.

Project 1: LED Blink

Description

We’ve installed the driver of Keyestudio V4.0 development board.

In this lesson, we will conduct an experiment to make LED blink.

Let’s connect GND and VCC to power. The LED will be on when signal end S is high level, on the contrary, LED will turn off when signal end S is low level.

In addition, the different blinking frequency can be presented by adjusting the delayed time.

Specifications

Control interface: digital port

Working voltage: DC 3.3-5V

Pin pitch: 2.54mm

LED display color: white

Display color: white

What You Need

PLUS Control Board*1	Sensor Shield*1	White LED Module *1	USB Cable*1	3pin F-F Dupont Cable*1

Sensor Shield

We usually combine Arduino control board with a large number of sensors and modules. However, the pins and ports are limited on control board.

To cope with this disadvantage, we just need to stack V5 sensor board on Keyestudio PLUS control board.

This V5 shield can be directly attached to sensors with 3 pin connectors, and be extended the commonly used communication ports as well, such as serial communication, IIC communication and SPI communication ports. What’s more, the shield comes with a reset button and 2 signal lights.

Pins Description

Wiring Diagram

Connect LED module with D13 of shield.

Note: pin G, V and S of white LED module are connected with G, V and 13 of V5 board.

Test Code

1. Test Result：

After the code is uploaded, the white LED flashes for 1000ms, alternately.

8. Code Explanation

The code looks long and clutter, but most of which are comments. The grammar of Arduino is based on C.

Comments generally have two forms of expression:

/* …….*/ : suitable for long paragraph comments

// : suitable for mono line comments

The code contains many vital information, such as the author, the issued agreement, etc.

Starter must develop a good habit of looking through code.

The comments, major part of the whole code, are inclusive of significant information and do help you understand test code quickly.

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board

void setup() {
// initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

According to comments, we will find that author define the D13 pin mode as digital output in setup() function.

Setup() is the basic function of Arduino and executes once when running program.

// the loop function runs over and over again forever

void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}

Loop() is the necessary function of Arduino, it can run and loop all the time after “setup()” executes once

In the loop()function, author uses

digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
digitalWrite(): set the output voltage of pin to high or low level. We make D13 output high level, then the LED lights on.
delay(1000); // wait for a second
Delay function is used for delaying time, 1000ms is 1s, unit is ms
digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
Similarly, we make D13 output low level, LED will turn off.
delay(1000); // wait for a second

Delay for 1s, light on LED—keep on 1s—light off LED—stay on 1s, iterate the process. LED flashes with 1-second interval.

What if you want to make LED flash rapidly? You only need to modify the value of delay block. Reducing the delay value implies that the time you wait is shorter, that is, flashing rapidly. Conversely, you could make LED flash slowly.

Project 2：Breathing Light

Description

In the previous lesson, we control LED on and off and make it blink.

In this project, we will control LED brightness through PWM to simulate breathing effect. Similarly, you can change the step length and delay time in the code so as to demonstrate different breathing effect.

PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.In general, the input voltage of port are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or what if switch among 1V, 3V and 3.5V? We can’t change resistor constantly. For this situation, we need to control by PWM.

For the Arduino digital port voltage output, there are only LOW and HIGH, which correspond to the voltage output of 0V and 5V. You can define LOW as 0 and HIGH as 1, and let the Arduino output five hundred 0 or 1 signals within 1 second.

If output five hundred 1, that is 5V; if all of which is 1, that is 0V. If output 010101010101 in this way then the output port is 2.5V, which is like showing movie. The movie we watch are not completely continuous. It actually outputs 25 pictures per second. In this case, the human can’t tell it, neither does PWM. If want different voltage, need to control the ratio of 0 and 1. The more 0,1 signals output per unit time, the more accurately control.

What You Need

PLUS Control Board*1	Sensor Shield*1	Yellow LED Module*1	USB Cable*1	3pin F-F Dupont Cable*1

Wiring Diagram

Note: on sensor shield, the G, V and S pins of yellow LED module are connected with G, V and 5.

Test Code

<iframe src=https://create.arduino.cc/editor/keyestudio/619cfe18-81c1-4f72-a02c-c90ec2fd34f7/preview?embed style=»height:510px;width:100%;margin:10px 0″ frameborder=0></iframe>

LED smoothly changes its brightness from dark to bright and back to dark, continuing to do so, which is similar to a lung breathing in and out.

Code Analysis

When we need to repeat some statements, we have to use “for” statement

For statement format as follows:

“for” cyclic sequence:

Round 1：1 → 2 → 3 → 4

Round 2：2 → 3 → 4

…

Until number 2 is not established, “for”loop is over,

After knowing this order, go back to code:

for (int value = 0; value < 255; value=value+1){

…

}

for (int value = 255; value >0; value=value-1){

…

}

The two “for”statement make value increase from 0 to 255, then reduce from 255 to 0, then increase to 255,….infinite loop

There is a new function in “for” statement —— analogWrite()

We know that digital port only has two state of 0 and 1. So how to send an analog value to a digital value? Here, we need this function, observe the Arduino board and you will find 6 pins with “~”. They are different from other pins and can output PWM signals.

Function format as follows:

analogWrite(pin,value)

analogWrite() is used to write an analog value from 0~255 for PWM port, so the value is in the range of 0~255, attention that you only write the digital pins with PWM function, such as pin 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11.

PWM is a technology to obtain analog quantity through digital method. Digital control forms a square wave, and the square wave signal only has two states of switching (that is, high or low levels of our digital pins). By controlling the ratio of the duration of on and off, a voltage varying from 0 to 5V can be simulated. The time taken(academically referred to as high level) is called pulse width, so PWM is also called pulse width modulation.

Through the following five square waves, let’s know more about PWM

In the above figure, the green line represents a period, and value of analogWrite() corresponds to a percentage which is called Duty Cycle as well. Duty cycle implies that high-level duration is divided by low-level duration in a cycle. From top to bottom, the duty cycle of first square wave is 0% and its corresponding value is 0. The LED brightness is lowest, that is, turn off. The more time high level lasts, the brighter the LED. Therefore, the last duty cycle is 100%, which correspond to 255, LED is brightest. 25% means darker.

PWM mostly is used for adjusting the LED brightness or rotation speed of motor.

Project 3：Passive Buzzer

Description

There are prolific interactive works completed by Arduino. The most common one is sound and light display. We always use LED to make experiments. For this lesson, we design circuit to emit sound. The universal sound components are buzzer and horns. Buzzer is easier to use. And buzzer includes about active buzzer and passive buzzer. In this experiment, we adopt passive buzzer.

While using passive buzzer, we can control different sound by inputting square waves with distinct frequency. During the experiment, we control code to make buzzer sound, begin with “tick, tick” sound, then make passive buzzer emit “do re mi fa so la si do”, and play specific songs.

What You Need

PLUS Control Board*1	Sensor Shield*1	Passive Buzzer*1	USB Cable*1	3pin F-F Dupont Cable*1

Wiring Diagram

The G, V and S pins of passive buzzer are connected to G, V and 3.

Test Code

<iframe src=https://create.arduino.cc/editor/keyestudio/d1be00c3-ed2d-46d6-8b7d-7aef72b37820/preview?embed style=»height:510px;width:100%;margin:10px 0″ frameborder=0></iframe>

From the above code, number 80 and 100 decide frequency in “for” statement. Delay time controls duration, like the beat in music.

We will play fabulous music if control ling frequency and beats well, so let’s figure out the frequency of tones. As shown below:

Bass：

Tone Note	1##	2##	3##	4##	5##	6##	7##
A	221	248	278	294	330	371	416
B	248	278	294	330	371	416	467
C	131	147	165	175	196	221	248
D	147	165	175	196	221	248	278
E	165	175	196	221	248	278	312
F	175	196	221	234	262	294	330
G	196	221	234	262	294	330	371

Alto：

Tone Note	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
A	441	495	556	589	661	742	833
B	495	556	624	661	742	833	935
C	262	294	330	350	393	441	495
D	294	330	350	393	441	495	556
E	330	350	393	441	495	556	624
F	350	393	441	495	556	624	661
G	393	441	495	556	624	661	742

Treble：

Tone Note	1##	2##	3##	4##	5##	6##	7##
A	882	990	1112	1178	1322	1484	1665
B	990	1112	1178	1322	1484	1665	1869
C	525	589	661	700	786	882	990
D	589	661	700	786	882	990	1112
E	661	700	786	882	990	1112	1248
F	700	786	882	935	1049	1178	1322
G	786	882	990	1049	1178	1322	1484

Next, we need to control the time the note plays. The music will be produced when every note plays a certain amount of time. The note rhythm is divided into one beat, half beat, 1/4 beat, 1/8 beat,.

The time for a note is stipulated as half beat( 0.5), 1/4 beat(0.250, 1/8 beat( 0.125)….., therefore, the music is played.

We will take an example of “Ode to joy”

From notation, the music is 4/4 beat.

There are special notes we need to explain:

1. Normal note, like the first note 3, correspond to 350(frequency), occupy 1 beat
2. The note with underline means 0.5 beat
3. The note with dot()means that 0.5 beat is added, that is 1+0.5 beat
4. The note with”—” represents that 1 beat is added, that is 1+1 beat.
5. The two successive notes with arc imply legato, you could slightly modify the frequency of the note behind legato(need to debug it yourself), such like reducing or increasing some values, the sound will be more smoother.

Upload test code on the development board.

Do you hear “Ode to joy”?

Project 4：Button module

Description

In this lesson, we will use the input function of I/O port, that is, reading the output value of external device. Also, we will do an experiment with a button and an LED to know more about I/O.

The button switch is ordinary in our life. It belongs to switch quantity( digital quantity)components. Composed of normally open contact and normally closed contact, it is similar to ordinary switch.

When the normally open contact bears pressure, the circuit will be on state ; however, when this pressure disappears, the normally open contact will go back to be the initial state, that is, off state.

What You Need

PLUS Control Board*1	Sensor Shield*1	Yellow LED Module*1	Button Sensor*1	USB Cable*1	3pinF-F Dupont Cable*2

Wiring Diagram

Note: The G, V, and S pins of button sensor module are separately connected to G, V, and 4 on the shield, and the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are connected with G, V, and 5 on the shield.

Test Code

Then, we will design the program to make LED on by button. Comparing with previous experiments, we add a conditional judgement statement—“if” statement. The written sentences of Arduino is based on C language, therefore, the condition judgement statement of C is suitable for Arduino, like while, swich, etc.

For this lesson, we take simple “if” statement as example to demonstrate:

If button is pressed, digital 4 is low level, then we make digital 5 output high level , then LED will be on; conversely, if the button is released, digital 4 is high level, we make digital 5 output low level, then LED will go off.

As for your reference：

This experiment is pretty simple, and widely applied to various of circuits and electrical appliances.

The backlight will be on when the button is pressed

Project 5：1-channel Relay Module

Description：

This module is an Arduino dedicated module, compatible with Arduino sensor expansion board. It has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop).

Commonly used in automatic control circuits, the relay module is an «automatic switch» that controls a larger current and a lower voltage with a smaller current and a lower voltage.

Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and conversion in the circuit. It allows Arduino to drive loads below 3A, such as LED light strips, DC motors, miniature water pumps, solenoid valve interface.

The main internal components of the relay module are electromagnet A, armature B, spring C, moving contact D, static contact (normally open contact) E, and static contact (normally closed contact) F, (as shown in the figure ).

As long as a certain voltage is applied to both ends of the coil, a certain current will flow through the coil to generate electromagnetic effects, and the armature will attract the iron core against the pulling force of the return spring under the action of electromagnetic force attraction, thereby driving the moving contact and the static contact (normally open contact) to attract. When the coil is disconnected, the electromagnetic suction will also disappear, and the armature will return to the original position under the reaction force of the spring, releasing the moving contact and the original static contact (normally closed contact). This pulls in and releases, thus achieving the purpose of turning on and off in the circuit. The «normally open and closed» contacts of the relay can be distinguished in this way: the static contacts on disconnected state when the relay coil is powered off are called «normally open contacts»; the static contacts on connected state are called «normally closed contact». The module comes with 2 positioning holes for you to fix the module to other equipment.

Specifications：

• Working voltage: 5V (DC)
• Input signal: digital signal (high level 1, low level 0)
• Contacts: static contacts (normally open contacts, normally closed contacts) and moving contacts
• Rated current: 10A (NO) 5A (NC)
• Maximum switching voltage: 150 V (AC) 24 V (DC)
• Electric shock current: less than 3A
• Contact action time: 10ms

6. Test Result：

When the relay is connected(“NO” is on , NC is off) for 0.5s, the white LED will be on; conversely, when it is disconnected, the white LED will go off.

Project 6：Photocell Sensor

Description：

The photocell sensor (photoresistor) is a resistor made by the photoelectric effect of a semiconductor. As highly sensitive to ambient light, its resistance value vary with different light intensity.

Its signal end is connected to the analog port of the microcontroller. When the light intensity increases, the resistance will decrease, but the analog value of the microcontroller won’t. On the contrary, when the light intensity decreases, the analog value of the microcontroller will go down.

Therefore, we can use the photoresistor sensor module to read the corresponding analog value and sense the light intensity in the environment.

It is commonly applied to light measurement, control and conversion, light control circuit as well.

What You Need

PLUS Control Board*1	Sensor Shield*1	Photocell Sensor*1	Yellow LED Module*1	USB Cable*1	3pin F-F Dupont Cables*2

Wiring Diagram：

Note: On the expansion board, the G, V, and S pins of the photocell sensor module are connected to G, V, and A1; the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are connected with G, V, and 5 separately.

Test Code：

<iframe src=https://create.arduino.cc/editor/keyestudio/cd0cdee5-9940-45b9-82fb-31f8f229fec3/preview?embed style=»height:510px;width:100%;margin:10px 0″ frameborder=0></iframe>

LED will be on after uploading test code. If you use a flashlight to point at the photocell, LED will be automatically off. However, if you turn off flashlight, LED will be on again.

Review

For this code string, it is simple. We read value through analog port and attention that analog quantity doesn’t need input and output mode. You can read the analog value of photocell sensor by analog port.

The analog value will gradually decrease if there is light. When the value is up to 900, this value can be set up according to the brightness you choose

Project 7：Adjusting Servo Angle

Description：

Servo can control doors and windows. In this course, we’ll introduce its principle and demonstrate how to use it.

Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor. Its working principle is that the servo receives the signal sent by MCU or receiver, and produces a reference signal with a period of 20ms and width of 1.5ms, then compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and obtains the voltage difference output.

When the motor speed is constant, the potentiometer is driven to rotate through the cascade reduction gear, which leads 0 voltage difference, and the motor stops rotating. Generally, the angle range of servo rotation is 0° —180 °

The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of PWM signal is 20ms (50Hz). Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms, but in fact, it’s between 0.5ms-2.5ms. The width corresponds to the rotation angle from 0° to 180°. But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotation angle.

One way is using a common digital sensor port of Arduino to produce square wave with different duty cycle and to simulate PWM signal and use that signal to control the positioning of the motor.

Another one is using the Servo function of the Arduino to control the motor. In this way, the program will be easier to design, but it can only control two-channel motor because the servo function only uses digital pin 9 and 10.

The Arduino drive capacity is limited. So if you need to control more than one motor, you will need external power.

Note that don’t supply power through USB cable, there is possibility to damage the USB cable if the current demand is greater than 500MA. We recommend the external power.

Project 9: Steam Sensor

Description：

This is a commonly used steam sensor. Its principle is to detect the amount of water by bare printed parallel lines on the circuit board. The more the water content is, the more wires will be connected. As the conductive contact coverage increases, the output voltage will gradually rise. It can detect water vapor in the air as well. The steam sensor can be used as a rain water detector and level switch. When the humidity on the sensor surface surges, the output voltage will increase.

The sensor is compatible with various microcontroller control boards, such as Arduino series microcontrollers. When using it, we provide the guide to operate steam sensor and Arduino control board.

First, connect the sensor to the analog port of the microcontroller, and display the corresponding analog value on the serial monitor.

Note: the connection part is not waterproof, therefore, don’t immerse it in the water please.

Specifications:

• Working voltage: DC 3.3-5V
• Working current: <20mA
• Operating temperature range: -10 ℃ ～ ＋ 70 ℃;
• Control signal: analog signal output

Project 11: Analog Gas Sensor

Description：

This gas sensor is used for household gas leak alarms, industrial combustible gas alarms and portable gas detection instruments. Also, it is suitable for the detection of liquefied gas, benzene, alkane, alcohol, hydrogen, etc.,

The MQ-2 smoke sensor can be accurately a multi-gas detector, with the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good stability, long life, and simple drive circuit.

It can detect the concentration of flammable gas and smoke in the range of 300~10000ppm. Meanwhile, it has high sensitivity to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and other smoke, especially to alkanes smoke.

It must be heated for a period of time before using the smoke sensor, otherwise the output resistance and voltage are not accurate. However, the heating voltage should not be too high, otherwise it will cause internal signal line to blow.

It belongs to the tin dioxide semiconductor gas-sensitive material. At a certain temperature, tin dioxide adsorbs oxygen in the air and forms negative ion adsorption of oxygen, reducing the electron density in the semiconductor, thereby increasing its resistance value.

When in contact with flammable gas in the air and smog, and the potential barrier at the grain boundary is adjusted by the smog, it will cause the surface conductivity to change. With this, information about the presence of smoke or flammable gas can be obtained. The greater the concentration of smoke or flammable gas in the air, the greater the conductivity, and the lower the output resistance, the larger the analog signal output. In addition, the sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the potentiometer.

Specifications:

Working voltage: 3.3-5V (DC)

Interface: 4 pins (VCC, GND, D0, A0)

Output signal: digital signal and analog signal

Weight: 7.5g

2.1602LCD display, 2 buttons, 1 servo on the board.

When button1 is pressed, you can input password(set password in the test code), and the 1602LCD will show “*”, then press button2 to “confirm”. If the password is correct, the 1602LCD will show “open” and the door will be open. However, if the password is wrong, the “error” pops up; after 2s, “error” will turn into “again” , which means that you can enter password again.

Note: The correct password is ”. — — . — .” which means that short press button1, long press button1, long press button1, short press button1, long press button1, and short press button1.

”- ”means long press button1, ”.”means short press button1

The door will be closed when PIR motion sensor doesn’t detect people around. What’s more, if you press and hold button2, the buzzer will emits a sound, and LCD display will show “wait”.

（If the password is right, the servo will rotate to 180°, otherwise，it doesn’t rotate）

• PWM interface (pulse width modulation): D3 D5 D6 D9 D10 D11
• External interrupt interface: D2 (interrupt 0) and D3 (interrupt 1)
• SPI communication interface: D10 is SS, D11 is MOSI, D12 is MISO, D13 is SCK
• IIC communication port: A4 is SDA, A5 is SCL

Installing driver

Let’s install the driver of keyestudio PLUS control board. The USB-TTL chip on PLUS board adopts CP2102 serial chip. The driver program of this chip is included in Arduino 1.8 version and above, which is convenient. Plug on USB port of board, the computer can recognize the hardware and automatically install the driver of CP2102.

If install unsuccessfully, or you intend to install manually, open the device manager of computer. Right click Computer—— Properties—— Device Manager.

There is a yellow exclamation mark on the page, which implies installing the driver of CP2102 unsuccessfully. Then we double click the hardware and update the driver.

Click “OK” to enter the following page, click “browse my computer for updated driver software”, find out the installed or downloaded ARDUINO software. As shown below:

There is a DRIVERS folder in Arduino software installed package（）, open driver folder and you can see the driver of CP210X series chips.

We click “Browse”, then find out the driver folder, or you could enter “driver” to search in rectangular box, then click “next”, the driver will be installed successfully. (I place Arduino software folder on the desktop, you could follow my way)

Arduino IDE Setting

Click icon，open Arduino IDE.

To avoid the errors when uploading the program to the board, you need to select the correct Arduino board that matches the board connected to your computer.
Then come back to the Arduino software, you should click Tools→Board, select the board. (as shown below)

Then select the correct COM port (you can see the corresponding COM port after the driver is successfully installed)

Before uploading the program to the board, let’s demonstrate the function of each symbol in the Arduino IDE toolbar.

A- Used to verify whether there is any compiling mistakes or not.
B- Used to upload the sketch to your Arduino board.
C- Used to create shortcut window of a new sketch.
D- Used to directly open an example sketch.
E- Used to save the sketch.
F- Used to send the serial data received from board to the serial monitor.

Click to start compiling the program, check errors.

Click to upload the program, upload successfully.

Upload the program successfully, the onboard LED lights on for 1s, lights off for 1s. Congratulation, you finish the first program.

How to Add a Library?

What are Libraries ?
Libraries are a collection of code that makes it easy for you to connect to a sensor,display, module, etc.
For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library helps talk to LCD displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for download.
The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the reference.

Here we will introduce the most simple way for you to add libraries.

Step 1：After downloading well the Arduino IDE, you can right-click the icon of Arduino IDE.

Find the option «Open file location» shown as below:

Step 2: Enter it to find out libraries folder which is the library file of Arduino.

Step 3：Next to find out the“libraries”of smart home(seen in the link: https://fs.keyestudio.com/KS0085), as shown below:

You just need to replicate and paste into the libraries folder of Arduino IDE.

The library of home smart is successfully installed, as shown below:

Projects

Alright, let’s get straight to our projects. In this kit, there are 14 sensors and modules included. We will start with the simple sensor to make you know the smart home deeply.
However, if you are an enthusiast with Arduino knowledge. You could skip theses steps, assemble the smart home kit directly(there is assembly video in the folder)

Note: In this course, the interface of each sensor / module marked with (G,-, GND) indicates the negative pole, G is connected to G or — or GND of sensor shield or control board; “V” implies positive pole which is linked with V or VCC or 5V.

Project 1: LED Blink

Description：

In previous lesson, we installed the driver of keystudio V4.0 development board, we start from simple projects. For this lesson we will perform “Arduion blinks LED”, which is the basic practice for starter.
We provide a test code to control LED to perform blinking effect. In the code, you could set distinct flashing scene by changing the time of lighting on and off. Power on GND and VCC, the LED will light on when signal end S is high level, on the contrary, LED will turn off when signal end S is low level.

Specifications：

• Control interface: digital port
• Working voltage: DC 3.3-5V
• Pin pitch: 2.54mm
• LED display color: white
• Size: 30 * 20mm
• Weight: 3g

Equipment:

Sensor shield

We usually combine Arduino control board with other sensors, modules and multiple sensors, which is difficult to wire. Conversely, this sensor shield cover this problem, you just need to stack on keyestudio PLUS control board when you use it.

This shield can be directly inserted into 3PIN sensors, it breaks out the common used communication ports as well, such as serial communication, IIC communication, SPI communication. What’s more, the shield comes with a reset button and 2 signal lights.

Pins Description

Connection Diagram：

Next to wire, link LED module with D13 of shield.


Note: G, V and S of white LED module are linked with G, V and 13 of expansion board.

Test Code：

/*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 1
Blink
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
}//

Test Result：

Upload test code successfully, white LED starts blinking, lights on for 1000ms, lights off for 1000ms, alternately.

Code Explanation

So the code contains the many vital information, such as the author, the issued agreement, etc.

Most people omit comments, starter should develop a good habit of looking through code. Firstly, check comments. They contain the provided information and do help you understand test code quickly. Secondly, form the habit of writing comments

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin 13 as an output.
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

According to comments, we will find that author define the D13 pin mode as digital output in setup() function. Setup() is the basic function of Arduino. It will execute once in the running of program, usually as definition pin, define and ensure the variables.

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);              // wait for a second
}

Loop() is the necessary function of Arduino, it can run and loop all the time after “setup()” executes once
In the loop()function, author uses
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)

digitalWrite(): set the output voltage of pin to high or low level. We make D13 output high level, then the LED lights on.
delay(1000); // wait for a second
Delay function is used for delaying time, 1000ms is 1s, unit is ms

digitalWrite(13, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
Similarly, we make D13 output low level, LED will turn off.
delay(1000); // wait for a second

Delay for 1s, light on LED—keep on 1s—light off LED—stay on 1s, iterate the process. LED flashes with 1-second interval. What if you want to make LED flash rapidly? You only need to modify the value of delay block. Reducing the delay value implies that the time you wait is shorter, that is, flashing rapidly. Conversely, you could make LED flash slowly.

Project 2: Breathing Light

Description

In the previous lesson, we control LED on and off and make it blink.
In this project, we will control LED brightness through PWM to simulate breathing effect. Similarly, you can change the step length and delay time in the code so as to demonstrate different breathing effect.

PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.In general, the input voltage of port are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or what if switch among 1V, 3V and 3.5V? We can’t change resistor constantly. For this situation, we need to control by PWM.

For the Arduino digital port voltage output, there are only LOW and HIGH, which correspond to the voltage output of 0V and 5V. You can define LOW as 0 and HIGH as 1, and let the Arduino output five hundred 0 or 1 signals within 1 second.
If output five hundred 1, that is 5V; if all of which is 1, that is 0V. If output 010101010101 in this way then the output port is 2.5V, which is like showing movie. The movie we watch are not completely continuous. It actually outputs 25 pictures per second. In this case, the human can’t tell it, neither does PWM. If want different voltage, need to control the ratio of 0 and 1. The more 0,1 signals output per unit time, the more accurately control.

Equipment：

Connection Diagram：

Note: on sensor shield, the G, V and S pins of yellow LED module are linked with G, V and 5.

Test Code：

 /*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 2
PWM
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
int ledPin = 5; // Define the LED pin at D5
void setup () {
      pinMode (ledPin, OUTPUT); // initialize ledpin as an output.
}
void loop () {
for (int value = 0; value<255; value = value + 1) {
     analogWrite (ledPin, value); // LED lights gradually light up
     delay (5); // delay 5MS
   }
   for (int value = 255; value>0; value = value-1) {
     analogWrite (ledPin, value); // LED gradually goes out
     delay (5); // delay 5MS
   }}
//

Test Result：

Upload test code successfully, LED gradually becomes brighter then darker, like human breath, rather than light on and off immediately

Code analysis

When we need to repeat some statements, we have to use “for” statement
For statement format as follows:

for (int value = 0; value < 255; value=value+1){
        ...
}
for (int value = 255; value >0; value=value-1){
       ...
}

The two “for”statement make value increase from 0 to 255, then reduce from 255 to 0, then increase to 255,….infinite loop
There is a new function in “for” statement —— analogWrite()

We know that digital port only has two state of 0 and 1. So how to send an analog value to a digital value? Here, we need this function, observe the Arduino board and you will find 6 pins with “~”. They are different from other pins and can output PWM signals.

Function format as follows:
analogWrite(pin,value)
analogWrite() is used to write an analog value from 0~255 for PWM port, so the value is in the range of 0~255, attention that you only write the digital pins with PWM function, such as pin 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11.

PWM is a technology to obtain analog quantity through digital method. Digital control forms a square wave, and the square wave signal only has two states of switching (that is, high or low levels of our digital pins). By controlling the ratio of the duration of on and off, a voltage varying from 0 to 5V can be simulated. The time taken(academically referred to as high level) is called pulse width, so PWM is also called pulse width modulation.
Through the following five square waves, let’s know more about PWM.

In the above figure, the green line represents a period, and value of analogWrite() corresponds to a percentage which is called Duty Cycle as well. Duty cycle implies that high-level duration is divided by low-level duration in a cycle. From top to bottom, the duty cycle of first square wave is 0% and its corresponding value is 0. The LED brightness is lowest, that is, turn off. The more time high level lasts, the brighter the LED. Therefore, the last duty cycle is 100%, which correspond to 255, LED is brightest. 25% means darker.
PWM mostly is used for adjusting the LED brightness or rotation speed of motor.

Project 3: Passive Buzzer

Description

There are prolific interactive works completed by Arduino. The most common one is sound and light display. We always use LED to make experiments. For this lesson, we design circuit to emit sound. The universal sound components are buzzer and horns. Buzzer is easier to use. And buzzer includes about active buzzer and passive buzzer. In this experiment, we adopt passive buzzer.
While using passive buzzer, we can control different sound by inputting square waves with distinct frequency. During the experiment, we control code to make buzzer sound, begin with “tick, tick” sound, then make passive buzzer emit “do re mi fa so la si do”, and play specific songs.

Equipment

Connection Diagram：

Note: The G, V, and S port of the passive buzzer module are separately connected to G, V, and 3 on the shield, power up.

Test Code：

 /*
Keyestudio smart home Kit for Arduino
Project 3.1
Buzzer
http://www.keyestudio.com
*/
int tonepin = 3; // Set the Pin of the buzzer to the digital D3
     void setup ()
     {
       pinMode (tonepin, OUTPUT); // Set the digital IO pin mode to output
     }
     void loop ()
     {
       unsigned char i, j;
       while (1)
       {
         for (i = 0; i <80; i ++) // output a frequency sound
         {
           digitalWrite (tonepin, HIGH); // Sound
           delay (1); // Delay 1ms
           digitalWrite (tonepin, LOW); // No sound
           delay (1); // Delay 1ms
         }
         for (i = 0; i <100; i ++) // output sound of another frequency
         {
           digitalWrite (tonepin, HIGH); // Sound
           delay (2); // delay 2ms
           digitalWrite (tonepin, LOW); // No sound
           delay (2); // delay 2ms
         }}}
//

Test Result：

From the above code, 80 and 100 decide frequency in “for” statement. Delay controls duration, like the beat in music.

We will play fabulous music if we control frequency and beats well, so let’s figure out the frequency of tones. As shown below:

After knowing the frequency of tone, next to control the time the note plays. The music will be produces when every note plays a certain amount of time. The note rhythm is divided into one beat, half beat, 1/4 beat, 1/8 beat, we stipulate the time for a note to be 1, half beat is 0.5, 1/4 beat is 0.25, 1/8 beat is 0.125….., Therefore, the music is played.
We will take example of “Ode to joy”

From notation, the music is 4/4 beat.
There are special notes we need to explain:
1.Normal note, like the first note 3, correspond to 350(frequency), occupy 1 beat
2.The note with underline means 0.5 beat
3.The note with dot(3.)means that 0.5 beat is added, that is 1+0.5 beat
4.The note with”—” represents that 1 beat is added, that is 1+1 beat.
5.The two successive notes with arc imply legato, you could slightly modify the frequency of the note behind legato(need to debug it yourself), such like reducing or increasing some values, the sound will be more smoother.

Project 4：Controlling LED by Button Module

Description：

In this project, we will control LED to light on and off via button module. When the button is pressed, the signal end outputs low level (0); when released, the signal end of sensor keeps high level(1).

Equipment

Connection Diagram：

Note: The G, V, and S pins of button sensor module are separately connected to G, V, and 4 on the shield, and the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are connected to G, V, and 5 on the shield.

Test Code：

Next to design the program, we make LED on by button. Comparing with previous experiments, we add a conditional judgement statement. We use if statement. The written sentences of Arduino is based on C language, therefore, the condition judgement statement of C is suitable for Arduino, like while, swich, etc.
For this lesson, we take simple “if” statement as example to demonstrate:

If button is pressed, digital 4 is low level, then we make digital 5 output high level , then LED will be on; conversely, if the button is released, digital 4 is high level, we make digital 5 output low level, then LED will go off.
As for your reference：

This experiment is pretty simple, and widely applied to various of circuits and electrical appliances. In our life, you could find this principle on any device, such as the backlight is on when press any buttons, which is the typical appliance.

Project 5：1-channel Relay Module

Description

This module is an Arduino dedicated module, and compatible with arduino sensor expansion board. It has a control system (also called an input loop) and a controlled system (also called an output loop).
Commonly used in automatic control circuits, the relay module is an «automatic switch» that controls a larger current and a lower voltage with a smaller current and a lower voltage.

Therefore, it plays the role of automatic adjustment, safety protection and conversion circuit in the circuit. It allows Arduino to drive loads below 3A, such as LED light strips, DC motors, miniature water pumps, solenoid valve pluggable interface.
The main internal components of the relay module are electromagnet A, armature B, spring C, moving contact D, static contact (normally open contact) E, and static contact (normally closed contact) F, (as shown in the figure ).

As long as a certain voltage is applied to both ends of the coil, a certain current will flow through the coil to generate electromagnetic effects, and the armature will attract the iron core against the pulling force of the return spring under the action of electromagnetic force attraction, thereby driving the moving contact and the static contact (normally open contact) to attract. When the coil is disconnected, the electromagnetic suction will also disappear, and the armature will return to the original position under the reaction force of the spring, releasing the moving contact and the original static contact (normally closed contact). This pulls in and releases, thus achieving the purpose of turning on and off in the circuit. The «normally open and closed» contacts of the relay can be distinguished in this way: the static contacts on disconnected state when the relay coil is powered off are called «normally open contacts»; the static contacts on connected state are called «normally closed contact». The module comes with 2 positioning holes for you to fix the module to other equipment.

Specifications：

• Working voltage: 5V (DC)
• Interface: G, V, S interface
• Input signal: digital signal (high level 1, low level 0)
• Contacts: static contacts (normally open contacts, normally closed contacts) and moving contacts
• Rated current: 10A (NO) 5A (NC)
• Maximum switching voltage: 150 V (AC) 24 V (DC)
• Electric shock current: less than 3A
• Weight: 15g
• Contact action time: 10ms

Equipment：

Connection Diagram：

Note: On the shield, the G, V, and S pins of 1-channel relay module are connected to G, V, and 12 respectively. The NO is linked with V; the G, V, and S pins of white LED are respectively connected to G, V, and the static contact of NO on relay module.

Test Code：

/*

*/
int Relay = 12; // Define the relay pin at D12
void setup ()
{
pinMode (13, OUTPUT); // Set Pin13 as output
digitalWrite (13, HIGH); // Set Pin13 High
pinMode (Relay, OUTPUT); // Set Pin12 as output
}
void loop ()
{
digitalWrite (Relay, HIGH); // Turn off relay
delay (2000);
digitalWrite (Relay, LOW); // Turn on relay

}
//

Test Result：
Wire, power up and upload test code. The relay is connected(“NO” is on , NC is off) for 0.5s, then disconnected for 0.5s (NC is on, NO is off), and alternately. When the relay is connected, the white LED will be on, conversely, the white LED will go off.

Project 6：Photocell Sensor

Description

The photocell sensor (photoresistor) is a resistor made by the photoelectric effect of a semiconductor. It is very sensitive to ambient light, thus its resistance value vary with different light intensity.
We use its features to design a circuit and generate a photoresistor sensor module. The signal end of the module is connected to the analog port of the microcontroller. When the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases, and the voltage of the analog port rises, that is, the analog value of the microcontroller also goes up. Otherwise, when the light intensity decreases, the resistance increases, and the voltage of the analog port declines. That is, the analog value of the microcontroller becomes smaller. Therefore, we can use the photoresistor sensor module to read the corresponding analog value and sense the light intensity in the environment.
It is commonly applied to light measurement, control and conversion, light control circuit as well.

Specifications：

• Working voltage: 3.3V-5V (DC)
• Interface: 3PIN interface
• Output signal: analog signal
• Weight: 2.3g

Equipment:

Connection Diagram：

Note: On the expansion board, the G, V, and S pins of the photocell sensor module are connected to G, V, and A1; the G, V, and S pins of the yellow LED module are linked with G, V, and 5 separately.

Test Code：

/*

int LED = 5; // Set LED pin at D5
int val = 0; // Read the voltage value of the photodiode
void setup () {
       pinMode (LED, OUTPUT); // LED is output
       Serial.begin (9600); // The serial port baud rate is set to 9600
}
void loop () {
       val = analogRead (A1); // Read the voltage value of A1 Pin
       Serial.println (val); // Serial port to view the change of voltage value
       if (val <900)
       {// Less than 900, LED light is off
       digitalWrite (LED, LOW);
       } 
       else 
       {// Otherwise, the LED lights up
       digitalWrite (LED, HIGH);
       }
       delay (10); // Delay 10ms
} 
//

Test Result：

LED will be on after uploading test code, point at the photocell sensor with flashlight (or the flash from cellphone), you’ll find that LED is automatically off. However, take away the flashlight, LED will be on again.

Review
For this code string, it is simply. We read value through analog port, please attention that analog quantity doesn’t need input and output mode.Read the analog value of photocell sensor by analog port.

The analog value will gradually decreases once there is light, the value is up to 1000, this value can be chosen according to brightness you need. Select method: put the whole device in the environment where LED is off, open serial monitor to check shown value, replace 1000 with this value. Read value from serial monitor is a good way to modulate code

Project 7：Adjusting Motor Servo Angle

Description

When we make this kit, we often control doors and windows with servos. In this course, we’ll introduce its principle and how to use servo motors.
Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of housing, circuit board, core-less motor, gear and position sensor. Its working principle is that the servo receives the signal sent by MCU or receiver and produces a reference signal with a period of 20ms and width of 1.5ms, then compares the acquired DC bias voltage to the voltage of the potentiometer and outputs a voltage difference.

Servo motor comes with many specifications. But all of them have three connection wires, distinguished by brown, red, orange colors (different brand may have different color).
Brown one is for GND, red one for power positive, orange one for signal line.

The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of PWM signal is 20ms (50Hz). Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms, but in fact, it’s between 0.5ms-2.5ms. The width corresponds the rotation angle from 0° to 180°. But note that for different brand motor, the same signal may have different rotation angle. 

There are two ways to control a servomotor with Arduino.
One is to use a common digital sensor port of Arduino to produce square wave with different duty cycle to simulate PWM signal and use that signal to control the positioning of the motor.
Another way is to directly use the Servo function of the Arduino to control the motor. In this way, the program will be easier but it can only control two-contact motor because for the servo function, only digital pin 9 and 10 can be used.
The Arduino drive capacity is limited. So if you need to control more than one motor, you will need external power.

Project 11: Analog（MQ-2）Sensor

Description

This gas sensor is used for household gas leak alarms, industrial combustible gas alarms and portable gas detection instruments. And it is suitable for the detection of liquefied gas, benzene, alkane, alcohol, hydrogen, etc., and widely used in various fire alarm systems. The MQ-2 smoke sensor can be accurately a multi-gas detector, and has the advantages of high sensitivity, fast response, good stability, long life, and simple drive circuit.
It can detect the concentration of flammable gas and smoke in the range of 300~10000ppm.Meanwhile, it has high sensitivity to natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas and other smoke, especially to alkanes smoke.
It must be heated for a period of time before using the smoke sensor, otherwise the output resistance and voltage are not accurate. However, the heating voltage should not be too high, otherwise it will cause my internal signal line to blow.

It is belongs to the tin dioxide semiconductor gas-sensitive material, and belongs to the surface ion type N-type semiconductor. At a certain temperature, tin dioxide adsorbs oxygen in the air and forms negative ion adsorption of oxygen, reducing the electron density in the semiconductor, thereby increasing its resistance value. When in contact with flammable gas in the air and smog, if the potential barrier at the grain boundary is adjusted by the smog, it will cause the surface conductivity to change. With this, information about the presence of smoke or flammable gas can be obtained. The greater the concentration of smoke or flammable gas in the air, the greater the conductivity, and the lower the output resistance, the larger the analog signal output. The sensor comes with a positioning hole, which is convenient for you to fix the sensor to other devices. In addition, the sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the potentiometer.

Specifications:

• Working voltage: 3.3-5V (DC)
• Interface: 4 pins (VCC, GND, D0, A0)
• Output signal: digital signal and analog signal
• Weight: 7.5g

Project 13: Soil Humidity Sensor

Description

This is a simple soil humidity sensor aims to detect the soil humidity.
If the soil is in lack of water, the analog value output by the sensor will decrease; otherwise, it will increase. If you use this sensor to make an automatic watering device, it can detect whether your botany is thirsty to prevent it from withering when you go out.
Using the sensor with Arduino controller makes your plant more comfortable and your garden smarter. The soil humidity sensor module is not as complicated as you might think, and if you need to detect the soil in your project, it will be your best choice. The sensor is set with two probes inserted into the soil, then with the current go through the soil, the sensor will get resistance value by reading the current changes between the two probes and convert such resistance value into moisture content. The higher moisture (less resistance), the higher conductivity the soil has. Insert it into the soil and then use the AD converter to read it. With the help of this sensor, the plant can remind of you: I need water.

• A.Mount 4pcs dual-pass copper pillars on the H board with 4pcs M3*6MM screws
• B.Then fix the passive buzzer on H board with 1 M3*10MM round head screw and 1 MS nut.
• C.Connect them with a 3pin female to female dupont wire

Rotate the servo to 90° before installing, the method is same as the step 6.
Fix the 4pcs M3*10MM copper pillars on the keyestudio PLUS control board with 4 M3*6MM round head screws, then fix the servo on the corresponding area of H board with 2 M2*12MM round head screws and 2 M2 nuts.

Assemble 2pcs board 2 together, then fix white cross mount on the gear with 4pcs M1.2*5 self-tapping screws

Fix the gear with white cross mount on the black servo by 1 M2*5MM screw(included in servo), then install the combination of 2pcs board 2 and another servo on the corresponding area of H board, finally stack the sensor shield on the keyestudio PLUS control board.

Step 9: Assemble A, B, C, D, E and H board together, then fix them with 2 “T” type bolts.

(Note: the power interface of PLUS control board is aligned with the hole ⑧ on board B, and the interface of USB cable is aligned with the hole ⑦ on board B)

Step 10: Install the sensor of F board

Prepare a steam sensor, a photocell sensor, a fan module(with fan), a board F, 2pcs 3pinF-F Dupont line, 4pcs F-F dupont lines, 3pcs M3*10MM round head screws and 3pcs M3 nickel plated nuts.

Separately fix steam sensor, photocell sensor and fan module on the F board with 3pcs M3*10MM round head screws and 3pcs M3 nuts, then connect them with 3pin and 4pin dupont lines.

Step 11: Connect sensor/module

Connect one end of 3pin dupont line to the pin of soil humidity sensor, then link all sensors to sensor shield. (fix 2 servo and make dupont wire go through the holes of board)

Insert the Bluetooth module into sensor shield, then fix the F board with 2 M3*10MM round head screws, 2 M3 nuts and 2 pcs parts with holes in the middle, mount G board well with 2 “T” type bolts.

Step 12: Assemble the kit

Fix the board I with 6 “T” bolts

Project 15：Multi-purpose Smart Home Kit

Description

In the previous projects, we introduce how to use sensors, modules and HM-10 Bluetooth module. For this lesson, we will perform all functions
We will achieve the effect as follows:

• Photocell sensor, PIR motion sensor and LED. When at night, someone passes by, LED is on; nobody is around, the LED is off.

• There are 1602LCD display, 2 buttons, 1 servo on the board. Press button1 to enter the password(you can set password in the test code), the 1602LCD will show “*”, then press button2 to “ensure”. If the password is correct, the 1602LCD will show “open”, the door will be open. However, if the password is wrong, the “error” pops up , after 2s, “error” will turn into “again” , you can enter password again.

The door will be closed when PIR motion sensor doesn’t detect people around. What’s more, press and hold button2, buzzer will sound, LCD displays “wait”.（If the password is right, the servo will rotate to 180°, otherwise，the servo don’t rotate）

Note: The correct password is ”. — — . — .” which means that short press button1, long press button1, long press button1, short press button1, long press button1, short press button1.

”- ”means long press button1, ”.”means short press button1

Установка программного обеспечения Arduino IDE (для Keyestudio PLUS)

Плата управления Keyestudio PLUS полностью совместима со средой разработки Arduino IDE. Она содержит все функции платы Arduino UNO. Более того, имеет некоторые улучшения, которые значительно расширили её функционал.  Это один из лучших наборов, чтобы научиться собирать схемы и писать код. 

Для начала нам нужно установить на свой компьютер Arduino IDE и драйвер для нашей платы. Для этого переходим на официальный сайт Arduino IDE по ссылке: https://www.arduino.cc и переходим (как на фото ниже) во вкладку «SOFTWARE».

На странице представлены различные версии для операционных систем Windows и Linux, просто загрузите подходящую версию для вашей операционной системы. Я скачал «WINDOWS zip file», хотя для WINDOWS 10 можно было скачать соответствующее ПО из самого магазина.

Т.е. для системы WINDOWS существует две версии: одна — установочная версия, другая — версия для загрузки, когда вам просто нужно загрузить файл напрямую на компьютер и разархивировать его.  Во втором случае вам просто нужно после загрузки ZIP-файла его разархивировать и запустить файл с расширением exe в архиве.

Для удобства, папку из архива я перенёс в корень диска C. Вы же можете разместить её в другом удобном для вас месте, но во избежание в дальнейшем возможных ошибок, нужно что бы путь до папки не содержал русские символы.

Установка драйвера для Keyestudio PLUS

Установим драйвер платы управления Keyestudio PLUS. Чип USB-TTL на плате PLUS использует серийный чип CP2102. Программа драйвера этого чипа включена в версию Arduino 1.8 и выше, что удобно. Подключите USB-порт платы, компьютер может распознать оборудование и автоматически установить драйвер CP2102.

Если установка не удалась или вы собираетесь установить вручную, откройте диспетчер устройств компьютера. Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши Компьютер —— Свойства —— Диспетчер устройств.

На странице стоит желтый восклицательный знак, что означает неудачную установку драйвера CP2102. Затем мы дважды щелкаем оборудование и обновляем драйвер.

Нажмите «ОК», чтобы перейти на следующую страницу, нажмите «Найдите на моем компьютере обновленное программное обеспечение драйвера», найдите установленное или загруженное программное обеспечение ARDUINO. Как показано ниже:

В пакете установленного программного обеспечения Arduino （） есть папка DRIVERS, откройте папку с драйверами и вы увидите драйвер микросхем серии CP210X.

Мы нажимаем «Обзор», затем находим папку с драйверами, или вы можете ввести «драйвер» для поиска в прямоугольном поле, а затем нажать «Далее», драйвер будет успешно установлен. (Я помещаю папку с программным обеспечением Arduino на рабочий стол, вы можете пойти по моему пути)

Откройте диспетчер устройств, и желтый восклицательный знак исчезнет. Драйвер CP2102 успешно установлен.

Настройка Arduino IDE

Щелкните значок ， откройте Arduino IDE.

Чтобы избежать ошибок при загрузке программы на плату, вам необходимо выбрать правильную плату Arduino, которая соответствует плате, подключенной к вашему компьютеру. Затем вернитесь к программному обеспечению Arduino, вы должны нажать Инструменты → Плата, выбрать плату. (как показано ниже)

Затем выберите правильный COM-порт (вы увидите соответствующий COM-порт после успешной установки драйвера)

Прежде чем загружать программу на плату, давайте продемонстрируем функцию каждого символа на панели инструментов Arduino IDE.

A- Используется для проверки наличия ошибок компиляции.
B- Используется для загрузки эскиза на плату Arduino.
C- Используется для создания окна быстрого доступа к новому эскизу.
D- Используется для непосредственного открытия примерного скетча.
E- Используется для сохранения эскиза.
F- Используется для отправки последовательных данных, полученных с платы, на последовательный монитор.

Начни свою первую программу

Откройте файл, чтобы выбрать Пример, выберите МИГАНИЕ из ОСНОВНОГО, как показано ниже:

Установите плату и COM-порт, соответствующая плата и COM-порт показаны в правом нижнем углу IDE.

Нажмите, чтобы начать компиляцию программы, проверьте ошибки.

Нажмите, чтобы загрузить программу, загрузка прошла успешно.

Загрузите программу успешно, встроенный светодиод горит на 1 с, гаснет на 1 с. Поздравляю, вы закончили первую программу.

Как добавить библиотеку?

Что такое библиотеки? Библиотеки — это набор кода, который упрощает подключение к датчику, дисплею, модулю и т. Д. Например, встроенная библиотека LiquidCrystal помогает взаимодействовать с ЖК-дисплеями. В Интернете для загрузки доступны сотни дополнительных библиотек. Встроенные библиотеки и некоторые из этих дополнительных библиотек перечислены в справочнике.

Здесь мы познакомим вас с самым простым способом добавления библиотек.

Шаг 1. После правильной загрузки IDE Arduino вы можете щелкнуть правой кнопкой мыши значок Arduino IDE.

Найдите опцию «Открыть расположение файла», как показано ниже:

Шаг 2: Введите его, чтобы узнать папку библиотек, которая является файлом библиотеки Arduino.

Шаг 3 ： Далее, чтобы узнать «библиотеки» умного дома (см. Ссылку: https://fs.keyestudio.com/KS0085 ), как показано ниже:

Вам просто нужно скопировать и вставить в папку с библиотеками Arduino IDE.

Библиотека домашнего смарта успешно установлена, как показано ниже:
