DIY smart control system
Stage 1: self exploration of Arduino: hardware + software -- Oct 17, 18 __** Stage 2: Automatic sensor viewer -- Oct 31st **__ Stage 3: Arduino + Android Wireless Remote control -- Nov. 7 Stage 4: DIY innovation Nov. 8

__** **__

Aim: DIY your own smart control system Prototype: Software and hardware Assessment: Demo for investing!

The stage 2 lesson is divided into 4 steps:
 * 1. introduction**

There are 3 topics: You can choose from:
 * 2. cooperative learning**
 * Topic 1: sensors
 * 1. Ultra-sound sensor: HCSR04 https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/microBob/ultra-sonic-ping-sensor-a9c49e
 * 2. Temperature sensor: LM35 http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/LM35HigherResolution
 * 3. Infrared sensor
 * 4. Light dependent resistor (LDR, need 10K resistor)
 * 5. Potentiometer/ voltage divider

Tasks:
 * 1. Choose at least 3 sensors to study
 * 2. Understand how the sensors work
 * 3. Connect the sensors to Arduino, build circuits
 * 4. Try to use Arduino serial monitor to test the success of installation of the sensors

Tasks:
 * Topic 2: Android
 * 1. Understand all pins analog/digital & input & output of arduino
 * 2. Study how to read Analog input: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/AnalogInput
 * 3. Study how to use serial port communication between Arduino and PC (python), you can use one source first, Check in the Arduino serial monitor

Tasks:
 * Topic 3: Python end
 * 1. Python for reading from serial port
 * 2. Study how to Display analog data from Arduino using Python (matplotlib): https://gist.github.com/electronut/d5e5f68c610821e311b0
 * 3. Do simulation with generated data, MODIFY to one source first

You are regrouped to the jigsawed groups for reciprocal learning make your own group innovation
 * 3. reciprocal learning**

presentation and assessment
 * 4. presentation and demo**
