Sample code

Sensor Pin is defined as analog pin 0

Function returns no value; Starts a program and sets initial values

Baud rate is 9600

Prints data to the serial port;Reads the value from specified analog pin

Pauses for 2 ms

3 ways to visualize the result

Touch shield for Arduino

• 2.8” diagonal color touchscreen TFT

• 240x320 resolution, 18-bit (262,000) color

• High speed SPI display with digital SPI touchscreen driver

• The display uses digital pins 13-9

• Touchscreen controller requires digital pin 8

MATLAB

• Real time signal acquisition and processing

• Ex. Real time plotting of distance on MATLAB using Arduino Uno & PING

LabVIEW

• Visual programming language

• Data acquisition

• Built-in functions/libraries

• NI LabVIEW Interface for Arduino Toolkit

- Easily control or acquire data from Arduino microcontroller

- Develop algorithm to control Arduino hardware

- Present findings on polished UI

Comparisons

Pros Cons

Touch shield Portable, more like a device Cost, hard to process data

MATLAB Powerful data handling More code writing

LabVIEW Great interface and libraries Not portable
