Module 37A: Ultrasonic Sensors A (Optional)
Outcome
Construct and program a device that uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect distance.
Indicators
| (a) | Explain how an ultrasonic sensor works. |
| (b) | Attach and wire an ultrasonic sensor properly to a device. |
| (c) | Develop a program to debug an ultrasonic sensor. |
| (d) | Program a device to detect the distance from an object using input from an ultrasonic sensor. |
| (e) | Program a device to alter outputs (e.g., illuminate different LED lights for different distances or create a different beeping sequence or tone for different distances) based on distance from an object using input from an ultrasonic sensor. |
| (f) | Provide practical examples of devices that incorporate ultrasonic sensors to detect distance from or to the sensor. |

Makeblock mBot Educational Robot Kit. Explorer Kits
The mBot kit includes supplies to build and program an autonomous robot with coding abilities. It is based on a block coding system but also supports a text-based coding system using Arduino for more advanced users. This kit requires a software download for coding and is Bluetooth compatible for connection with smart devices with a controller APP download. This kit also requires batteries: either 1 3.7V DC Lithium battery or 4xAA batteries. Also available, for further extension using this kit are add on sensors and parts.

SaskCode Arduino Kit
SaskCode has assembled classroom kits of hands-on materials, such as robot car kits, Arduino starter kits and sensors, that are designed to support the teaching of robotics skills at Grades 7-12 using the Arduino computing platform. Free activities to use with the kit are available for download through Google Drive. Kits are available for sale to any school in the province, and lending kits are available for borrowing, free of charge, by teachers in schools from school divisions that are part of the Saskatoon Industry Education Council (SIEC) partnership (see the SIEC website for a list of school divisions by area). To be eligible to borrow a kit, however, a teacher must complete a professional development session linked to that kit. For more information, please visit the SIEC website - https://www.saskatooniec.ca/
