    Sensor Interfacing

    Objectives:

    1. Connect a sensor (e.g., temperature sensor, light sensor) to an analog input.


    2. Use the ADC to read data from the sensor.
    3. Implement logic to interpret sensor data and display it.

    Apparatus:

     TM4C microcontroller board


     USB Cable
     Breadboard
     Sensor (e.g., temperature sensor, light sensor)
     Jumper wires

    Sensor Interfacing:

    Sensors are devices that detect and respond to changes in their environment. Interfacing a sensor
    with a microcontroller involves connecting the sensor's output to an analog input pin of the
    microcontroller and using the ADC to convert the analog signal into digital data that can be
    processed by the microcontroller.

    Algorithm Steps:

    1. Connect the sensor to an analog input pin of the TM4C microcontroller.


    2. Initialize the ADC peripheral of the microcontroller.
    3. Write a program to continuously read analog values from the sensor using the ADC.
    4. Implement logic to interpret the sensor data based on its type (e.g., temperature, light).
    5. Display the interpreted sensor data on the serial monitor or an LCD screen.
    6. Repeat steps 3-5 continuously.

    Programming Code

    Input:
    Output:
    Observations & Conclusions:

     The program continuously reads analog values from the sensor (e.g., temperature sensor)
    connected to the TM4C microcontroller.
     Analog values are converted to temperature readings in Celsius and displayed on the
    serial monitor.
     Depending on the type of sensor used, the interpretation logic can be modified
    accordingly to display relevant data.
     This experiment demonstrates how to interface a sensor with a microcontroller, read
    analog values using the onboard ADC, and interpret sensor data for monitoring or further
    processing.
    Conclusion:
    In this lab, participants effectively interfaced a sensor with the TM4C microcontroller, leveraging
    the ADC to read analog values and displaying interpreted sensor data, fostering proficiency in
    sensor integration and data processing for embedded systems applications.
