LAB: Smart mini-fan with STM32-duino

LAB: Smart mini-fan with STM32-duino

I. Introduction

In this lab, you are required to create a simple program that uses arduino IDE for implementing a simple embedded digital application. Refer to online arduino references for the full list of APIs.

Hardware

NUCLEO -F401RE or NUCLEO -F411RE

Ultrasonic distance sensor(HC-SR04), DC motor (RK-280RA)

Software

Arduino IDE

II. Procedure

The program needs to run the Fan only when the distance of an object is within a certain value.

Example: An automatic mini-fan that runs only when the face is near the fan. Otherwise turns off.

  • As the button B1 is pressed, change the fan velocity. The MODE(states) are

    • MODE(state): OFF(0%), MID(50%), HIGH(100%)

  • When the object(face) is detected about 50 mm away, then it automatically pauses the fan temporarily.

    • Even the fan is temporarily paused, the MODE should be changed whenever the button B1 is pressed

  • When the object(face) is detected within 50mm, then it automatically runs the fan

    • It must run at the speed of the current MODE

  • LED(LED1): Turned OFF when MODE=OFF. Otherwise, blink the LED with 1 sec period (1s ON, 1s OFF)

  • Print the distance and PWM duty ratio in Tera-Term console (every 1 sec).

  • Must use Mealy FSM to control the mini-fan

    • Draw a FSM(finite-state-machine) table and state diagram

    • Example Table. See below for example codes

III. Configuration

Ultrasonic distance sensor

Trigger:

  • Generate a trigger pulse as PWM to the sensor

  • Pin: D10 (TIM4 CH1)

  • PWM out: 50ms period, 10us pulse-width

Echo:

  • Receive echo pulses from the ultrasonic sensor

  • Pin: D7 (Timer1 CH1)

  • Input Capture: Input mode

  • Measure the distance by calculating pulse-width of the echo pulse.

USART

  • Display measured distance in [cm] on serial monitor of Tera-Term.

  • Baudrate 9600

DC Motor

  • PWM: PWM1, set 10ms of period by default

  • Pin: D11 (Timer1 CH1N)
