Summary


We explored many new things in this chapter, you need a pat on the back for getting through this!

Let's summarize what we learnt:

  • How an Ultrasonic transducer works by measuring the time taken for sound to bounce off an object

  • The math to calculate the distance would be:

    Distance= (time taken for reflected sound to travel x speed of sound in air)/2

  • We revisited how conditional statements work

  • We looked at how to add and initialize Arduino Libraries by using a #Include at the start of out code

  • We saw how we use Library functions after initializing an object of that library, by using objectName.functionName()

  • We finally used all that we learned and built our toy friend whose smile lights up when you approach it!
