Introduction:
In this recitation, my partner and I had to choose a sensor to code and link up to Arduino with. We chose the Ultrasonic Ranger (Ultrasonic Sensor OR HC-SR04) This sensor is supposed to detect motion from 2cm to about 3m in length. During this activity, we linked the Ultrasonic Ranger to Arduino through the breadboard. In this video, you can see that we got the sensor to work and I was walking back and forth to test out the distance/motion
Question 1:
In this activity, my partner and I intended to assemble a motion sensor. If this were to be used for pragmatic purposes, it could be used for security purposes. For example, if there is a precious piece of artwork, the government could use motion sensors to secure that if anyone tried to steal it, motion sensors could detect any movement around it and sound an alarm.
Question 2:
I think that code is often referred to as a recipe or tutorial because it breaks down what one should to and/or how to do it. Code is easily understood when you are trying to figure something out and is the basic foundation, just like a recipe or tutorial, to help guide someone to do something.
Question 3:
I think computers influences us in many different ways. It can influence us to easily communicate with one another in a fast and efficient way. At the same time, it can cause us to become more lazy since we have technology to do things for us in a manner of time.
