Arduino Project #1

This is a guide on how to make a D-battery charge tester using arduino.

Step 1: Step 1: MATERIALS

Here is a list of what you need for the D-battery charge tester.

- 1 Arduino Uno R3 and breadboard

- 3 LED lights

- 10 wires

- 1 1.5V (D) battery

Step 2: Step 2: Putting It Together

Use the attached image for assembly.

Step 3: Step 3: Code Time

If not already downloaded-

- download the arduino software from the arduino website

- Imput the code below and run

float a = 0;
float x; float y;

void setup() {

x=conversion(1.4);

y=conversion(0.4);

pinMode(13, OUTPUT); }

void loop() {

a = analogRead(0);

if (a > x) {

digitalWrite(13, HIGH);

digitalWrite(12, LOW);

digitalWrite(11, LOW);

} else if (a > y && a < x) {

digitalWrite(13, LOW);

digitalWrite(12, HIGH);

digitalWrite(11, LOW);

} else if (a < y) {

digitalWrite(13, LOW);

digitalWrite(12, LOW);

digitalWrite(11, HIGH);

}

}

float conversion(float a){

float b=((a/5)*1024);

return b;

}

Step 4: Step 4: You're Done!

The arduino should work perfectly now.
