CONCEPT NOTES:
An actuator is a device which causes something to happen. This could be a robot movement,
which is often achieved using motors:
• An actuator is needed to make the robots wheels turn.
• Or the joints of a robot arm to rotate.
• Or for a robot gripper to open or close.
Or it could be to let the others know what the robot is doing.
• A light being turned on to indicate the robot is working.
• Sound is being emitted – so the actuator is a loudspeaker.
• Communication in some form – so a transmitter is needed.

CONCEPT NOTES:
A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates
a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. Most relays are
designed for PCB mounting but you can solder wires directly to the pins providing you take care
to avoid melting the plastic case of the relay. The relay's switch connections are usually labelled
COM, NC and NO:
COM = Common, always connect to this, it is the moving part of the switch.
NC = Normally Closed, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is off.
NO = Normally Open, COM is connected to this when the relay coil is on.
 Connect to COM and NO if you want the switched circuit to be on when the relay coil is on.
 Connect to COM and NC if you want the switched circuit to be on when the relay coil is off.

CONCEPT NOTES: IR, or infrared, communication is a common, inexpensive, and easy to use
wireless communication technology. IR light is very similar to visible light, except that it has a
slightly longer wavelength. This means IR is undetectable to the human eye, perfect for
wireless communication.
The frequency of Infra-red is lower than that of the red light, so infrared can’t be seen by the
naked eye. Every object in the world can emit infrared rays. The higher the temperature, the
stronger the infrared rays. IR sensor can be used as a temperature sensor. IR camera can
transform IR rays into visible light.
An IR camera can display humans in a forest or at sea in the dark. IR sensor can also be used in
remote controllers, automatic doors and many others.

The IR emitter is a LED while the IR sensor is a phototransistor.

During experiments, sunshine and hot lamps radiate strong IR that may interfere with our
sensor. We must cover the receiver with a little black tube to avoid outside IR interference.
Use little black tube to
IR SENSOR APPLICATIONS: avoid IR interference

 Radiation Thermometers - measurement of temperature without direct contact with the


object. Faster response and easy pattern measurements
 Flame Monitors - detecting the light emitted from the flames and to monitor how the flames
are burning.
 Moisture Analyzers – detect wavelengths which are absorbed by the moisture in the IR
region.
 Gas Analyzers - use absorption characteristics of gases in the IR region.

the pins especially in the power supply connection (Use BLUE or GREEN Pen).
Upon power the left and right motors will run forward. Cover with your hand the IR TX/RX pair,
the left motor will run in reverse. Observe the IR sensitivity by moving your hand nearer or
farther from the IR pair.

CONCEPT NOTES: Timer is needed to delay the signal from the IR sensor. The duration of
time is determined by C1 and R3. The larger the value of C1 (100ꙡF or 220ꙡF) or R3, the longer
the time of duration. The car will turn left when an obstacle is detected by the IR sensor
because the left motor was switched to run in reverse direction.

CONCEPT NOTES: Capacitor C1 is empty upon Power-ON. The input of inverter-1 is 0 and
output is 1(5V). A small current charge C1 through R1. The Voltage of C1 increases until the
input of inverter-1 recognizes it as signal 1. Then the output of inverter-1 becomes 0, the
charge of C1 starts to flow through R1 to inverter-2. The charge and discharge of capacitor C1
must need a positive side and negative side for the current to flow. Invertor-2 helps capacitor
C1 charge and discharge. Therefore, the LED is turned ON and OFF periodically.
