LED Brightness Control using Touch Sensor and ARM

Hey Folks,
In this tutorial, we will learn, how to change the intensity of light using touch sensor the ARM (FRDM-KL25Z).

INTRODUCTION
    • The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor. 
    • The FRDM-KL25Z has been designed by NXP in collaboration with mbed for prototyping all sorts of devices, especially those requiring the size and price point offered by Cortex-M0+ and the power of USB Host and Device.
    • The FRDM-KL25Z is supported by a range of NXP and third-party development software.
    • It is packaged as a development board with connectors to break out to stripboard and breadboard and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.

             FEATURES
    • NXP KL25Z Kinetis KL2x MCU (MKL25Z128VLK4)
      • High-performance ARM® Cortex™-M0+ Core
      • 48MHz, 16KB RAM, 128KB FLASH
      • USB (Host/Device)
      • SPI (2)
      • I2C (2)
      • UART (3)
      • PWM (TPM)
      • ADC (16 bit)
      • DAC (1x 12bit)
      • Touch Sensor
      • GPIO (66)
               So now we are familiar with the FRDM-KL25Z let’s use it.

   Components Required:
    • FRDM-KL25Z board
    • Data Cable (USB Mini-B)
    • Capacitive touch “slider”(On Board)



Code:

#include "mbed.h"
#include "tsi_sensor.h"

/* This defines will be replaced by Pin Names soon */
#if defined (TARGET_KL25Z) || defined (TARGET_KL46Z)
  #define ELEC0 9
  #define ELEC1 10
#elif defined (TARGET_KL05Z)
  #define ELEC0 9
  #define ELEC1 8
#else
  #error TARGET NOT DEFINED
#endif

int main(void) {
    PwmOut led(LED_GREEN);
    TSIAnalogSlider tsi(ELEC0, ELEC1, 40);
    
    while (true) {
        led = 1.0 - tsi.readPercentage();
        wait(0.1);
    }
}




After dumping the code the output is shown in the video below:-

Arduino Based Piano Project

This video will illustrate to you how to make a simple piano by using IR Modules. Based on the frequency of sa, re, ga, ma, pa, dha, ni and sa the tone of the buzzer will change. Video Link Components Required: 1> I.R. Modules 2> Arduino Uno 3> Jumper Wires 4>Small Breadboard Circuit Diagram Arduino Code: int button_C = 2; int button_D = 3; int button_E = 4; int button_F = 5; int button_G = 6; int button_A = 7; int button_B = 8; int button_Cup = 9; int speaker = 10; int buttonstate_C = 0; int buttonstate_D = 0; int buttonstate_E = 0; int buttonstate_F = 0; int buttonstate_G = 0; int buttonstate_A = 0; int buttonstate_B = 0; int buttonstate_Cup = 0; //NOTES         'c'  , 'd',  'e',  'f',  'g', 'a',  'b',  'C' int tones[] = { 240, 254, 285, 320, 359, 280, 427, 956 }; //freq int Cur_tone = 0; void setup() {   pinMode(button_C, OUTPUT);   pinMode(button_D, INPUT);   pinMode(button_E, INP

Getting Started with Arduino

What is Arduino? Arduino is basically an open source electronics platform which is having easy to use hardware and software implementation. It’s a micro-controller interfaced with other vital components like programmer ICs, voltage regulator etc. With the help of this, we can interface various input (sensors) and output (LED's) components. Why Arduino? Arduino is not just a micro-controller it is also interfaced with several other components which make the job of the user very simple. Arduino Uno Pin-Out How Arduino works? An input of 5v is given to the board using a USB cable (not necessary) through a laptop or any other convenient power source. Microcontrollers are usually programmed through a programmer unless we have a firmware in our microcontroller that allows installing new firmware without any external programmer. This is bootloader. All the controllers present in UNO are from ATMEL Semiconductor (Now acquired by Microchip). We hav
