(Faizan Muhammad and Adan Leos) Introduction: We tested the ability of ultrasonic sensor to detect the distance from an object when the object is oriented at different angles. The fact that it detects reflected sound means that it should be unable to detect objects oriented at certain angles because the sound waves do not reflect […]
Projects
Taswar and Katie Color Sensor
We were testing the color sensor and how easily it is affected by its environment. We placed four different colored notebook (orange, light blue, dark blue, and red) half an inch away from the sensor, and then read it’s RGB value in different environments. We tested in direct sunlight outside, direct sunlight inside, shade […]
Daniel and Jason’s Light Sensor Tests
For this project, we tested the range of the light sensor on various colors. We used ten different colors, ranging in brightness. To perform our tests, we put our sensor at the end of a tape measure, and at increments of a half inch, we noted what the sensor was reading for each specific color. […]

David & Ahmed’s Ultrasonic (and Light) Sensor Investigation
We first attempted to find a relationship between the reflected light value from the light sensor and the distance away from the light sensor. However, using a standard piece of chipboard, the reflected light scaled value had no discernable relationship to distance, even when outliers were excluded. So, we changed our investigation to one of […]
Chris and Kevin’s Ultrasonic Sensor Tests
For this project we decided to investigate some of the sensory properties of the ultrasonic sensor. We went ahead and tested some of the various limits of the sensor. These include: Maximum detection range (Two different sized papers) Minimum detection range Detection of different materials (Glass pane, window screen, cloth, and tissue paper) Detection of angled surfaces […]
