Module 37B: Ultrasonic Sensors B (Optional)
Outcome
Construct and program a device that uses an ultrasonic sensor to navigate an area.
Indicators
(a) | Program a device to navigate and avoid obstacles in an area using an ultrasonic sensor. |
(b) | Provide practical examples of devices that incorporate ultrasonic sensors to support device navigation. |
(c) | Program an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance between the robotic device and an object and manipulate an output (e.g., change motor speed, change light colours or change speed of a beep). |
(d) | Design and develop a program capable of interpreting signals and making decisions based on the input from ultrasonic sensors. |
(e) | Manipulate the movement of a device based on proximity of an object to the device. |

R009731
LEGO Mindstorms EV3
This kit contains programmable brick, several modular sensors and hundreds of pieces and connectors that allow for the construction of one robot with various functions. It provides a block-based programming environment and includes instructions and online support. It would be suitable for Middle Years to grade 10.

R010094
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.
