Questions

1. What are some of the symptoms of brownout on the BOE Shield-Bot? it

would go in a completely unexpected direction, but it would stop momentarily first.
2. What is a reset? when you press the reset button or disconnect it from the power
source.
3. How can a piezospeaker be used to announce that brownout just occurred?
you can add a statement at the beginning of your code to play a code when a blowout occurs
4. What function makes the speaker play tones? the tone function
5. Whats a hertz? Whats its abbreviation? a unit of frequency of one cycle per second,
Hz

Exercises
1. Write a statement that makes a tone, one that sounds different from the start-
alert tone, to signify the end of a sketch. tone(4, 6000, 2000)
2. Write a statement that plays a speaker tone to signify an intermediate step in
the sketch. This tone should be different from a start-alert or end tone. tone(4, 2000,
900)

Projects
1. Modify the TestServoSpeed sketch so that it makes a tone signifying each
test is complete.

#include <Servo.h> // Include servo library

Servo servoLeft; // Declare left servo signal

Servo servoRight; // Declare right servo
signal

void setup() // Built in initialization

block
{
tone(4, 3000, 1000); // Play tone for 1 second
delay(1000); // Delay to finish tone

Serial.begin(9600); // Set data rate to 9600 bps

servoLeft.attach(13); // Attach left signal to P13
}

void loop() // Main loop auto-repeats

{

// Loop counts with pulseWidth from 1375 to 1625 in increments of 25.

for(int pulseWidth = 1375; pulseWidth <= 1625; pulseWidth += 25)

{
Serial.print("pulseWidth = "); // Display pulseWidth value
Serial.println(pulseWidth);
Serial.println("Press a key and click"); // User prompt
Serial.println("Send to start servo...");

while(Serial.available() == 0); // Wait for character

Serial.read(); // Clear character

Serial.println("Running...");
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(pulseWidth); // Pin 13 servo speed =
pulse
delay(6000); // ..for 6 seconds
servoLeft.writeMicroseconds(1500); // Pin 13 servo speed = stop
tone(4, 6000, 900)

}
}

2. Modify the TestServoSpeed sketch so that it runs both wheels instead of just
one with each test. Make the right wheel turn the opposite direction from the left
wheel.
