1. Aim: To Assemble and Controlling of actuators using Arduino Uno. 2. Objective: The goal of this project is to assemble and control various actuators (LED, motor, and buzzer) using an Arduino Uno. This project will involve connecting the components to the Arduino and writing a program to control their behavior, such as blinking the LED, turning the motor on and off, and sounding the buzzer. 3. Input/Equipment Used: 1. 1x Arduino 2. 1x LED 3. 1x Motor 4. 1x Buzzer 4. Theory: Servo Motors: Servomotors have three wires: power, ground, and signal. The power wire is typically red, and should be connected to the 5V pin on the Arduino board. The ground wire is typically black or brown and should be connected to a ground pin on the board. The signal pin is typically yellow or orange and should be connected to PWM pin on the board. DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
5. Procedure: • Place the Arduino Uno on a working surface or connect it to a breadboard for easier wiring • Connect the LED to the breadboard. Attach the longer leg (anode) of the LED to pin 8 of the Arduino and the shorter leg (cathode) to ground (GND) through a 220 ohm resistor. • If using a motor driver (L298N or similar), connect the control pins of the driver to pin 9 of the Arduino, the power pins to a 5V external power supply, and the motor output pins to the motor. • Connect the Buzzer to pin 10 of the Arduino, with the other terminal connected to ground. • Install the Arduino IDE on your computer. • Open the Arduino IDE • Open a new sketch in Arduino IDE and write the code. • Connect the Arduino to your computer using a USB cable • Select the correct board and port in the Arduino IDE. Upload the code to the Arduino. • Once the code is uploaded, the LED will blink, the motor will spin, and the buzzer will sound simultaneously for 1 second and then turn off for 1 second in a loop. Connections: • Connect the LED anode to pin 8 and cathode to GND • Connect motor driver: Motor + and - terminals connected to the motor, and input pins connected to Arduino Pin 9.

• Connect one terminal of Buzzer to pin 10 and other to ground GND

8. Conclusions: we successfully controlled multiple actuators (LED, motor, and buzzer) using an Arduino Uno. By setting the appropriate pin modes and controlling the output signals with code, we were able to blink the LED, control the motor, and sound the buzzer in a synchronized pattern. This experiment demonstrates how Arduino can be used to control various electronic components in automation or robotics applications. DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE & ENGINEERING
