ARDUINO : LCD DISPLAY

The Liquid Crystal Display allow to control LCD displays that are compatible with Hitachi HD44780 driver. There are many of them out there. Usually tell them by the 16-pin interface.

ARDUINO : PIEZO SPEAKERS (BUZZERS)

A 'piezo buzzer' 

is basically a tiny speaker that can connect directly to an Arduino.

"Piezoelectricity" is an effect where certain crystals will change shape when you apply electricity to them. By applying an electric signal at the right frequency , the crystal can make sound.

From the Arduino, can make the sounds with a buzzer by using tone.

VOLATGE REGULATOR

The purpose of a voltage is to keep the voltage in a circuit relatively close to a desired value. Voltage regulators are one of the most common electronic components, since a power supply frequently produces raw current that would otherwise damage one of the components in the circuit. Voltage regulators have a variety of specific functions, depending on their particular application.

RELAY

Relays are amazingly simple devices. I am using the two relays in my project to process the network devices.

As a knowledge, the relay is a simple electromechanical switch made up of an electromagnet and set of contacts. Relays are found hidden in all sorts of devices. In fact, some of the first computers ever built used to implement Boolean gates.

Here is the relay and relay schematic diagram that used in my project.

THE EXAMPLE

The video show, some of the example that almost same with my project

BLUE TERM APP FOR ANDROID

Blue term description:

VT-100 terminal emulator is a program for communicating with any serial device using a Bluetooth serial adapter. The RFCOMM/SPP protocol emulates serial communications over Bluetooth.

This is an open source application.

***You can get more info and the source code from:

1. BlueTerm_1.0.0.tar
2. BLUETERM (original link)

CONNECT AN ARDUINO TO BLUETOOTH MODULE (HC-05)

Arduino and Bluetooth HC-05 connecting easily.

Today, I connected my Arduino Uno board to the Bluetooth module HC-05 in order to communicate with my Android smartphone. The HC-05 Bluetooth module and its siblings are far the most popular and inexpensive Bluetooth module used for RF communications by Arduino as a microcontroller.

Then, the image below show the Bluetooth with offers 4 pin outs. Its for 5V, Ground, RX, and TX that have to connect with the right pins on Arduino Uno board. The advantage of this HC-05 module, is we did not need an additional electronic parts.

The way to connect the Bluetooth nee to identify the 5V and Ground Arduino pins on my Arduino. It is to provide the power source for activating the Bluetooth module. GND is of course connected to the GND of Arduino. Next, connect the Bluetooth module's RX pin to the Arduino's TX pin, then connect the Bluetooth module's TX pin with the Arduino's RX pin. The figure below show the Bluetooth connected.

After connecting the Bluetooth serial module with Arduino,we are able to pair the HC-05 with any Bluetooth enables device. As a password to pair, I am using '1234" as a pairing key. After pairing is successful between the devices, the LED indicator will turn "on", like the picture below:

LDR MODULE

LDR Module is a light sensor. Also known as Light Dependent Resistor. (LDR).

Typically, the resistance of the light sensor will decrease when the ambient light intensity increase. The features of LDR Module are discussing below;

• Can detect ambient brightness and light intensity
• Adjustable sensitivity (by drop any object in front)
• Operating voltage almost 3.3V-5V
• Output type ; analog voltage output -A0 
• With fixed bolt hole for easy installation
• Just a small board PCB
• Size : 3cm * 1.6cm
• Power indicator (red) and the digital switch output indicator (green)
• Stable and small plate
• External GND GND
• A0 small board analog output interface

How to used:

• Photosensitive resistor module most sensitive to environmental light intensity is generally used to detect ambient brightness and light intensity.
• As a module light conditions or light intensity reach the set threshold.
• Detecting the ambient light intensity changes
• Digital output module , DO can directly drive the relay module, which can be composed of photoelectric switch.
• Analog output module AO connected to the converter then we can get a more accurate light intensity value.

GPS ANTENNA 3M LENGTH FOR ARDUINO

GPA Antenna used to received a signal from satellite. This antenna is needed to place at open area workplace. This is because GPS have an unit typically which is will NOT WORKS indoor, underwater or underground.

The picture show that the GPS Antenna for Arduino GPS Shield cable lenght 3M.

So, the combination of GPS Shield + GPS Antenna 3M length for Arduino Uno is shown below:

• Here is the compile session.

As in figure above, after finish the coding, we need to click the right symbol (√). Then it will compiling the coding and check whether the code.

Any error of the code will be display at the black screen. After the compiling is finished , it will display as picture shown below.

• Here is the second step is download.

To download the coding, first. Click the (->) symbol ad shown in figure above. Then, wait for device to downloading.

After the downloading is finished, it will shown like the figure below:

Now, the coding has been downloaded to the Arduino Uno board. Lastly, the project is in progress to develop.

ARDUINO UNO'S SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING (GPSSCREEN)

The objective of this programming is to understand , investigate and recognize the input and output of pin. This is all about Arduino Uno controller.

So, as my task, I need to review this programming. Review in studying and understanding the basic examples of Arduino coding of the Arduino Uno's software programming.

As figure above, is the programming of the Arduino where can be download here ;  http://www.arduino.cc/ . The software is freeware.

From the two figures above, it is Arduino Pin Mapping. The supply for the controller is around 

7-12V DC. The board has 28 pin-outs. All the pin-out for the board we can see above.

DEMONSTRATION MODEL

Base on the objective of my project is to apply system in car alarm security. So, I need to buy the demonstration model to implement the technology that use to generate a new knowledge about how to secure the car or 'any vehicles".

As usual, the system that I applied or used in car is to programmed the Arduino micro controlled by IDE (Integrated Development Engineering) on version c++.

The demonstration model that I used is car under the model of  BMW 645Ci.

The prove of purchase of car model is below.

THE FIRST TRYING AND EARLIER RESULT

The first and earlier result that can be showed by this security alarm and GPS coordinate using Arduino is shown below.

The result of Arduino GPS and GPS data longger showed there is no signal detection at current location. This case may be happened caused of GPS antenna cannot received a signal from satellite.

The principle of GPS state that the GPS typically will not works indoor, underwater or underground. There is no signal if the GPS was located in a building and so on.

This case absolutely relate with GPS standard. To make sure a measurement of GPS, the open areas are needed in order to get an accurate of GPS data.

ARDUINO GPS CONFIGURATION PART II

GPS Screen for Latitude and Longitude location.

The function of GPS Shield for Arduino used to produce a GPS data, to store the data through SD card and find out the location detected. Futhermore, The Arduino Uno will support the features of GPS Shield in order to pointed out the result of the project.

The GPS Screen configuration are here:

The conclusion that I can made from this GPS configuration is FAILED current to the technical problem. The result is showed above where is no detection of location and trying to get real data.

I will re-test and re-trying for the next solution to find the current location detection.
