Finally, something that actually could be useful! What do you think, could you make use of this alarm kit? Would make a good addition in the garage for sure!
This is purchased from Amazon, the UK links are here (they probably link to similar products in your country):
Ultrasonic Kit: amzn.to/3A1ImSt
Clips: amzn.to/3l81sjy
Board: amzn.to/3l6Cb9l

For this kind of assembly, I hold the board horizontally, push in the components, then put a foam sponge on top of the components and hold it in place with a rubber band.

Wow I’m a dummy 😂 no wonder my clock ain’t work. I tried to solder the chip onto the holder component thingy. Well lesson learned for the next project lol.

Blu tack is your friend. Use it told components in place while you flip the board to solder them.
@wildstar1063 7 місяців тому
Those holes for the buzzer/speaker are so big, you could have just heated the solder in the hole and bounced the board on the table, and the solder would have come right out, when you do it that way you usually don't even have to clean the hole out

Fun Kit. Haven't yet figure out the set buttons. They not only press, but also joystick. And, so, they do ... what I wonder?
@surgingcircuits6955 Рік тому
A little research yielded; S2 = Reduce Distance / S3 = Increase Distance / S4 - Set-Display [Current] Distance
@surgingcircuits6955 Рік тому
Trick/Suggestion: Discovered that pushing the S2-4 buttons don't really work. HOWEVER, pushing them Up/Down works great! To set the desired distance (alarm threshold), push S4 up/down to enter input mode, then push S2+3 up/down to decrease increase distance threshold. To accept, push S4 up/down again to exit set mode. When not in set mode, display shows distance to target. Cheers.

The microcontroller is an advanced version of the Intel 8051, that predates PIC microcontrollers by a good few years.

Okay so my S2 button is not working but everything else is fully functional. I can set the distance and see the range of whatever object is infront of it. But the S2 button will not let it -1 from the screen. It only increases in value but won’t decrease. I soldered everything correct I believe. What could be the issue?

I have two suggestions that may help: 1. My custom "Cabbage & Brussell Sprout Egg Surprise" the night before will ensure enough "obnoxious gases" emanating from you to keep people away automatically, and/or 2. A Priti Patel mask will also keep those pesky foreign tourists away.

You can build the same circuit using the Arduino Uno, Nano, and Mega.

It's an interesting kit but seems a bit pricey on Amazon for what it is - will look to see if it's cheaper on Banggood or Aliexpress.
@backofficeshow 2 роки тому
It's almost certainly available on those sites. Definitely worth buying asking with a bunch of other kits if not in a rush.
