5 Distance Indication by External LED. This Lab uses the external LED to indicate a distance of an object from a Sharp Infra-Red (IR) distance Senor [model: GP2Y0A21YK0F] . The push-button or touch-sensor is for Activation or Deactivation mode of the LED indication of the distance.

Specific instruction:
(a) The starting mode is Activation
(b) In Activation mode, if the distance of an object is farther than 80 cm turn LED on GREEN, if the distance is between 80 cm and 40 cm, YELLOW, and if closer than 40 cm, RED.
(c) During the Activation mode, if a push-button (or touch-sensor) is pressed, then the mode is changed to Deactivation (which means LED is turned off while continuing the distance monitoring - which has to be evidenced through the Serial Monitor showing distances in cm unit).
(d)In Deactivation mode, if a push-button is pressed, then Activation mode resumes. Sharp IR Distance Sensor GP2Y0A21YK0F

6 Distance Indication on a 7-Segment Display. This Lab uses a Serial 7-Segment Display (Sparkfun Part no. COM-11441) to display a distance of an object from the same Sharp Infra-Red (IR) distance Senor used in Lab 5. The push-button or touch-sensor is for Display or No-Display mode of the distance display on the 7-Segment Display.

Specific instruction:
(a) The starting mode is Display Mode.
(b) In Display Mode, display the distance on the 7-Segment Display in cm unit.
(c) During the Display Mode, if a push-button (or touch-sensor) is pressed, then the mode is changed to No-Display Mode (which means no-display of distance on the 7-Segment Display while continuing the distance monitoring - which has to be evidenced through the Serial Monitor showing distances in cm unit).
(d) In No-Display mode, if a push-button is pressed, then Display Mode resumes.

7 Servo-Motor Control & Distance Display. This Lab, in addition to the a Serial 7-Segment Display and Sharp Infra-Red (IR) distance Senor used in Lab 6, connects a micro-servo motor (P1143 of Adafruit). The push-button or touch-sensor is for Active or Silent mode of the Lab, its details explained below.

Specific instruction:
(a) The starting mode is Active Mode.
(b) In Active Mode, display the distance of an object on the 7-Segment Display in cm unit and turn (0 to 180 degrees and 180 to 0 degrees) (Left to Right) (Right to Left) the servo-motor with a speed proportional to the distance: The farther an object is from the distance sensor, the faster the covering of the 180 degrees, in a forward and backward motion, of the servo motor, and vice versa. However, if the distance is 20 cm or shorter, stop the servo motor wherever the position may be. Also, any distance farther than 70 cm should have the same servo turning speed (covering 0 - 180 degrees and 180 to 0 degrees) as at 70 cm.
(c) During the Active Mode, if a push-button (or touch-sensor) is pressed, then the mode is changed to Silent Mode (which means the servo motor stops its turn immediately while the distance display on the 7-Segment Display continues).
(d) In Silent Mode, if a push-button is pressed, then Active Mode resumes and the servo turns toward Right first from the stopped position.

8 Distance Measurement by Ultrasonic Sensor and Display in the Distance on a 7-Segment Display. This Lab uses the same Serial 7-Segment Display the previous labs have used to display a distance of an object from an Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04). The range of distance is 2 cm to 400 cm, therefore the Display should be able to cover the entire range in cm unit. The Mode for this Lab is always Active More - there is no push button required for Mode switch.

9 Display of the distance on Serial Monitor of one party measured with Ultrasound sensor by the other party, and vice versa, via RX (p3.2) and TX (p.3.3) of UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter).   This Lab requires 2 groups to work together. UART communication can be done by physically connecting TX pin of a MSP432 board to RX pin of the other MSP432 board with a wire, and RX pin of the former to TX pin of the latter.   Each party must be able to send and receive data over the UART pins. For a smooth exchange session, one must start with Transmitter Mode and the other Receiver Mode.    Details are as follow:

Transmitter Mode: Measure the distance from the Ultrasound Sensor and send the measured value in cm unit to the other party via UART. After a transmission is done, without any wait or time delay it change its mode to Receiver Mode.
Receiver Mode: Receive data from the other party via UART and display the data to the Serial Monitor screen. Then, after 1 second time delay, it changes to Transmitter Mode.

Ultrasonic Sensor: HC-SR04
Transmitter Sample Code (as a text file): this code transmits 'H' and 'L' alternatingly to a receiver.

Receiver Sample Code (as a text file): this code receives data from the transmitter, then turns on an LED if the received data is 'H', and turns off the LED if 'L'. W Apr 5 W Apr 12

10 Display of the distance on Serial Monitor of one party measured with Ultrasound sensor by the other party, and vice versa, using NRF24L01+ 2.4 GHz Wireless RF Transceiver Module. As in Lab 9, this Lab requires 2 groups to work together. But transmission is done by manual key-in. Each party must be able to send and receive data via radio communication, but transmission can be made only when character 'T ' is typed on the serial monitor. Therefore, both parties must start with Receiver Mode.    Details are as follow:

Receiver Mode: Receive data from the other party via Radio and display the data on to the Serial Monitor screen. A transition to Transmitter Mode is made possible by typing 'T' on the serial monitor screen.
Transmitter Mode: Measure the distance from the Ultrasound Sensor and send the measured value in cm unit to the other party via Radio. After a transmission is done, without any wait or time delay it change its mode to Receiver Mode.

11 Display of the distance on Serial Monitor of one party measured with Ultrasound sensor by the other party, and vice versa, using NRF24L01+ 2.4 GHz Wireless RF Transceiver Module, and following our own "456 Protocol". As in Labs 9 and 10, this Lab requires 2 groups to work together. But transmission is done by manual key-in. Each party must be able to send and receive data via radio communication, but transmission can be made only when character 'T ' is typed on the serial monitor. Therefore, both parties must start with Receiver Mode.   In data exchange, 456 Protocol should be observed (and data be displayed on Serial Monitor screen, not LCD).

Receiver Mode: Receive data from the other party via Radio complying with the 456 Protocol and display the data on to the Serial Monitor screen. A transition to Transmitter Mode is made possible by typing 'T' on the serial monitor screen.
Transmitter Mode: Measure the distance from the Ultrasound Sensor and send the measured value in cm unit to the other party via Radio complying with the 456 Protocol. After a transmission is done, without any wait or time delay it change its mode to Receiver Mode.

X Extra Credit Lab (for a team of 3 groups): Multi-Party Texting via Radio.   This free, extra-credit lab is to establish and demonstrate multi-party texting system using (1) NRF24L01+ 2.4 GHz Wireless RF Transceiver Module, (2) Serial Monitor Screen, and (3) 456 Protocol. Three (3) groups are needed to form a team and work together. A text message from a party must be directed to just one party at a time - no broadcasting - and should be able to repond selectively. Mode setting (or no mode at all) is all determined by the team. After forming a team (of 3 groups), notify with a list of groups joining the team. NRF2401+ 2.4HGz Wireless RF Transceiver Module
