I've been in Arduino groups on FB and online forums and I can't count the number of times I've recommended his tutorials. I'm usually answering a post like, "Hi, I just bought this Arduino and I want to build a complete home automation setup with ... blah, blah, blah... but I know nothing about coding. Can someone show me how to do it?" I always tell them that they need to start at the very beginning and learn the basics and once they've done that, they'll know how to design, build and code projects. This is the best resource for that, by far.

Hey Paul, thanks for this amazing Arduino Series. Since i had this build working since lesson 53, i unhooked everything and did the assignment but to make it a little harder i decided to also add the DHT11 sensor and 2 buttons. I used the buttons to Toggle between the Ultrasonic sensor and the DHT11 sensor and displayed distance in ft and cm or temp and humidity to the LCD. Its funny how you were kind of struggling to fit everything on the breadboard and even considered using the monster breadboard when here, i was able to fit the elegoo power supply, the nano, the ultrasonic sensor, the DHT11 sensor, the potentiometer, the 2 buttons and the LCD all neatly and organized in the same size breadboard as yours and even had room to spare. Thanks to your teachings and the assignments you give us i have gotten really good at building neat and organized circuits. I really enjoyed doing this project and i am really excited to see what we will be learning next. Thank you!

@pointer333 2 жыл бұрын
haha! I also added the DHT and made the whole thing after 53! I used the temp reading as a factor in speed of sound to make the distance measurement more accurate in various climates. The ultrasonic sensor's doc says it reads to 4 meters accurately, so I set the program to give me climate info when reading over 4m, then shows distance in mm and inches when you're within 4m.

I did the homework on my own, but used a lot of cutting and pasting from earlier assignments to set up the sensor and display. My Nano has not arrived yet but I put the sensor on a mini breadboard and got everything connected. Fortunately my display was still installed, so I saved a lot of time wiring it up. Keep up your most excellent courseware development for your followers.

Did this first before watching you build, Sir. Didn't get it to work the first time... because i forgot to set the pinModes of the trigPin and echoPin! After that, it was all good. Hmm, i just figured that by default, the arduino is only printing up to 2 decimal places. (whether we are printing on the serial monitor or on the lcd) The remedy is that we can add another parameter as such: Serial.println(distanceToTarget,4); or lcd.print(distancetoTarget,4); This way, we can print up to a precision of 4 decimal places. We can put 5,6,7, etc. in there to add more decimal places. Thank you for this lesson Sir Paul. The production is highly appreciated!

As I advance through the lessons and see that we're close to the end, I get nostalgic. I had a great time on your channel so far. In time, I discovered there's more to it than just Arduino, and I also discovered your other channels. Although as a doctor I will probably use what I learned here only as a hobby, I see you as a role model. Here, I learned more than making LEDs blink. I refined my way of thinking and discovered new and interesting ways of living my life. For that I'll be forever grateful!

This was a fun one. I enjoyed using the LCD before so right after lesson 53 I got busy. Was able to fit my Nano, LCD with potentiometers, ultrasonic sensor and the power supply on one breadboard with the battery on the back held on with an elastic. Coding wasn’t a real issue, just took what we learn from earlier LCD lessons and then after info learned from lesson 55 along with a few other additions got it reading in both inches and centimetres. As I said above, really enjoyed it.

I had already built this before, when we first moved from LCD to the HC-sensor, i started to output straight to the LCD, it pleased me. TIP, use a pair of snipe nosed pliers to insert those wires, it's much easier, also, when they get bent it's simple to straighten them, using the inside clear faces of the pliers. I also use a tough set of stainless tweezers, I'm no where as nimble as 20 years ago, so let the tweezers do the work.

Hi Paul ,yes I did it on my own and it works perfectly. The only thing I forgot to do initially was to include the Serial.begin statement ! But a little adjustment to the LCD as i used distance to target and then the results. I next set it up as a standalone . The one thing that is not working is the Nano I am using will not talk to the PC so I just used the Mega . I have a CRO and just love showing my wife and the Neighbours the collapsing waveform as you place something in range. Many thanks young man.

So I have taken a slight break from the lesson because I was waiting on some parts and I have been working on a project involving different modules that are not covered in your lessons. Let me tell you watching other videos on how to connect and program things is way harder to understand and there is much less explanation. They may tell you how to do it but they don't explain what's going on with the code in great detail like you do. I ordered a RTC module and I thought it was going to be a piece of cake. I came to the realization that I was in some kind of a bubble while learning with you and I had a lot to learn. Choosing the right library and then finding enough documentation on how to use the library was quite the challenge. A so I thought 15 min easy project turned into a frustrating day project. Basically what I learned was I have a lot to learn lol... Thanks for another great video!

I was able to do this one on my own. I used only one breadboard -- I 3D-printed a project tray which holds the Arduino (uno or nano) and a breadboard. I used an LCD with the I2C backpack that I got out of another kit. It is much easier to hook up (less connections needed). It is good to know how to connect the LCD without the I2C but now that I have that knowledge, I will use the LCD with the I2C. Great project and I am off to add a pushbutton to my build.

I gotta stop watching the assignment before bed; I have restless dreams but the problem's solved in the morning! I got mine to work. I cut the wire mess down slightly by running the pwr/gnd wires under the LCD to the powerstrip it's laying over.

Paul, Have binged through this series since I started tutorial 1 a couple months ago. It's been the best, most thorough beginner Arduino education I've followed. The homework assignments have been challenging and valuable to my development. As a technical instructor myself in a different field I want to say bravo, you know how to deliver your subjects well in a way that keeps students absorbing and retaining the information. That said I have some earnest constructive criticism regarding this tutorial. It's my opinion that time should be cut with such a thorough circuit building walk through. In previous lessons you've cut out portions of the projects that have already been explained. You've done more than enough of circuit building walk throughs that anyone taking the time to follow through your lessons should be able enough with a look at the pictoral diagrams. Again this is meant as constructive criticism. It felt good doing the homework on my own but the lengthy follow up lessened the validation. Keep em coming, favorite e-teacher I've ever had!

I did get it working on my own and managed to get it on the original breadboard as well. I also ended up wiring the LCD to different pins so that I could use wires that were a closer fit length wise.

Yep the addition of that little button is really nice you get a nice fixed reading no changes till you push the button again. Fun fun fun.

I got it all hooked up and working prior to the video. Definitely not as neat as yours though because I am limited to only having access to the basic kit at this stage (stuck in a hotel for 2 weeks quarantine due to travelling interstate in Australia). I pretty well did everything else the same, apart from using the metric system instead lol. Even if I do get something working prior to the lesson, I always watch your videos all the way through as there is always something extra to learn or better ways of doing things that I either didnt know or hadnt thought of. Thanks again for another great lesson.

I was able to do it all alone! I used two breadboards and a power supply module to power it all up!

I already did the homework. Further, i add an active buzzer, so when the distance is under 7cm it will print on lcd "too close!!" with sound. it was really fun though!!

I think what we can do is to go popular forums like quora ,reddit ,then answer related arduino question and recommend him in the process so that people looking for arduino resources can come visit his KZbin channel thereby growing the channel in the process. There are so many people looking for such structred content to learn Arduino to build their skills and create their own project....

Hi Paul - I was successful on my own, though I did cut and splice code from other lessons and modified the pin connections. I got my 2x nanos yesterday, but experienced some problems getting them working - until I found online that I needed to select ATmega328P (Old Bootloader) - wasted 1 hr getting that info.
