ASSIGNMENT

Connect a DC motor and a force sensor and create and Arduino program and/or object that displays the use of a motor.

MATERIALS USED

1 DC Motor, 1 FSR, 1 Bunny, 1 Toilet Paper Roll, 1 Butterfly Clip,

1 Plastic Hairspray Bottle Cap, Magnet, Electrical Tape

ARDUINO CODE

NOTE: Basically the same as the example file--I worked on putting the motor into and object.

int potPin_fsr = 0;   // select the input pin for the FSR
int motorPin = 9; // select the pin for the Motor
int speakerPin = 6;
int val = 0;      // variable to store the value coming from the sensor
 
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
 
void loop() {
  val = analogRead(potPin_fsr);    // read the value from the sensor, between 0 - 1024
  Serial.println(val);
  analogWrite(motorPin, val/4); // analogWrite can be between 0-255
  digitalWrite(speakerPin, LOW);
