3. How to Add Libraries? :
3.1. What are Libraries ? :
Libraries are a collection of code that make it easy for you to connect sensors,displays, modules, etc.
For example, the built-in LiquidCrystal library helps talk to LCD displays. There are hundreds of additional libraries available on the Internet for download.
The built-in libraries and some of these additional libraries are listed in the reference. https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/Libraries
3.2. How to Install a Library ? :
Here we will introduce the most simple way to add libraries .
Step 1: After downloading well the Arduino IDE, you can right-click the icon of Arduino IDE. Find the option “Open file location”.
Step 2: Click Open file location >libraries.
Step 3: Next, find out the “libraries” folder.
Copy 
in the libraries folder of Arduino. Then click “Replace the files in the destination”.
2. Basic Projects：
When we get the kit, we can see that there are 42 sensors/modules in the kit, which contain the corresponding ESP32 mainboard, ESP32 Expansion Board and wirings. Here, we will connect the 42 sensors individually to the ESP32 mainboard and the ESP32 Expansion Board using wirings. Then run the corresponding test code to test the function of each sensor separately. Our next lesson is to study the principles of individual modules/sensors from simple to complex as well as some extended applications of sensors to consolidate and deepen our understanding of the kits.
Note : When connecting the module/sensor wirings in the projects, the wiring method and position must be followed in the document. What’s more, do not misconnect the power supply and signal pin, otherwise there may be no experimental results or damage to the modules/sensors.

Project 2: Lighting up LED
Overview
In this kit, we have a Keyestudio Purple Module, which is very simple to control. If you want to light up the LED, you just need to make a certain voltage across it.
In the project, we will control the high and low level of the signal end S through programming, so as to control the LED on and off.
Working Principle
The two circuit diagrams are given.
The left one is wrong wiring-up diagram. Why? Theoretically, when the S terminal outputs high levels, the LED will receive the voltage and light up.
Due to limitation of IO ports of ESP32 board, weak current can’t make LED brighten.
The right one is correct wiring-up diagram. GND and VCC are powered up. When the S terminal is a high level, the triode Q1 will be connected and LED will light up(note: current passes through LED and R3 to reach GND by VCC not IO ports). Conversely, when the S terminal is a low level, the triode Q1 will be disconnected and LED will go off.

delay(1000);//Delay 1000 ms
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); //Output low level,turn off led
delay(1000);//Delay 1000 ms
}
//*************************************************************************************
Code Explanation
1). PinMode(pin,mode): Pin is the ESP32 GPIO pin number used to set the mode, here we set pin 0 as output mode.
2). DigitalWrite(pin, value): Pin is the GPIO pin, which is defined GP0 here. Valueis the digital level that we will output（HIGH/LOW）. If the pin is configured to OUTPUT using pinMode(), its voltage is set to the corresponding value: 3.3V is HIGH,low level is 0V (ground). When connect the LEDs to the pins, using the digitalWrite（HIGH）, the LEDs will get dim.
3). Setup() executes once, while loop() executes all the time. Delay (ms) is delay function, ms is the number of milliseconds to pause. Data type: unsigned long（range 0~ 4,294,967,295 (2^32 - 1)）.
4). Firstly, we connect the module signal to ledPIN, namely GP0, and set it to a high level to light the LEDs on the module. Then delay 1000 ms, controlling the LEDs on the module light up for 1s and off for 1s to achieve the flashing effect.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on，we will see that the LED in the circuit will flash alternately.
Note: If the uploading code fails, you can press and hold the Boot button on the ESP32 after clicking
and release the Boot button after the percentage of uploading progress appears.
as shown below:
Project 3: Traffic Lights Module

Project 4: Laser Sensor
Description
Lasers are widely used to cut, weld, surface treat, and more on specific materials. The energy of the laser is very high. The toy laser pointer may cause glare to the human eye, and it may cause retinal damage for a long time. my country also prohibits the use of laser to illuminate the aircraft.
Working Principle
The laser head sensor module is mainly composed of a laser head with a light-emitting die, a condenser lens, and a copper adjustable sleeve. We can see the circuit schematic diagram of this module which is very similar to the LED we have learned. They are all driven by triodes. A high-level digital signal is directly input at the signal end, then the sensor will start to work; if inputting low levels, the sensor won’t work.

Overview
A“breathing LED”is a phenomenon where an LED’s brightness smoothly changes from dark to bright and back to dark, continuing to do so and giving the illusion of an LED“breathing. This phenomenon is similar to a lung breathing in and out. So how to control LED’s brightness? We need to take advantage of PWM. You may refer to Project 6.

Project 6: RGB Module
Overview
Among these modules is a RGB module. It adopts a F10-full color RGB foggy common cathode LED. We connect the RGB module to the PWM port of MCU and the other pin to GND(for common anode RGB, the rest pin will be connected to VCC). So what is PWM?
PWM is a means of controlling the analog output via digital means. Digital control is used to generate square waves with different duty cycles (a signal that constantly switches between high and low levels) to control the analog output.
In general, the input voltages of ports are 0V and 5V. What if the 3V is required? Or a switch among 1V, 3V and 3.5V? We cannot change resistors constantly. For this reason, we resort to PWM.
For Arduino digital port voltage outputs, there are only LOW and HIGH levels, which correspond to the voltage outputs of 0V and 5V respectively. You can define LOW as“0”and HIGH as“1’, and let the Arduino output five hundred‘0’or“1”within 1 second. If output five hundred‘1’, that is 5V; if all of which is‘0’,that is 0V; if output 250 01 pattern, that is 2.5V.
This process can be likened to showing a movie. The movie we watch are not completely continuous. Actually, it generates 25 pictures per second, which cannot be told by human eyes. Therefore, we mistake it as a continuous process. PWM works in the same way. To output different voltages, we need to control the ratio of 0 and 1. The more‘0’or‘1’ output per unit time, the more accurate the control.
Working Principle
For our experiment, we will control the RGB module to display different colors through three PWM values.

Project 7: Button Sensor
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio single-channel button module, which mainly uses a tact switch and comes with a yellow button cap.
In previous lessons, we learned how to make the pins of our single-chip microcomputer output a high level or low level. In this experiment, we will read the high level (3.3V) and low level (0V).
We can determine whether the button on the sensor is pressed by reading the high and low level of the S terminal on the sensor.
Working Principle
The button module has four pins. The pin 1 is connected to the pin 3 and the pin 2 is linked with the pin 4. When the button is not pressed, they are disconnected. Yet, when the button is pressed, they are connected. If the button is released, the signal end is high level.

Code Explanation
1). pinMode(button, INPUT); set the pin of the button module to GP15 and INPUT.
Configure INPUT through pinMode(). INPUT must use the pull-up or pull-down resistor(ours module has the pull-up resistor RI).
2). Serial.begin(9600): Initialize serial communication and set the baud rate to 9600.
3). digitalRead(button): read the digital level of the button(HIGH or LOW). If this pin is not connected to pins, the digitalRead() will return HIGH or LOW.
4). if…else…：if the logic behind () is true, execute the code of (); otherwise execute the code of else.
5). If the button is pressed, the signal end is low level, GP15 is low level and Val is 0. Then the monitor will show the corresponding value and characters; otherwise, the sensor is released, val is 1 and monitor will show 1 and other characters

Project 8: Capacitive Sensor
Description
In this kit, there is a capacitive touch module which mainly uses a TTP223-BA6 chip. It is a touch detection chip, which provides a touch button, and its function is to replace the traditional button with a variable area button. When we power on, the sensor needs about 0.5 seconds to stabilize.
Do not touch the keys during this time period. At this time, all functions are disabled, and self-calibration is always performed. The calibration period is about 4 seconds. We display the test results in the shell.
Working Principle
When our fingers touch the module, the signal S outputs high levels, the red LED on the module flashes. We can determine if the button is pressed or not by reading high and low levels on the sensor.

Project 9: Obstacle Avoidance Sensor
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio obstacle avoidance sensor, which mainly uses an infrared emitting and a receiving tube.
In the experiment, we will determine whether there is an obstacle by reading the high and low level of the S terminal on the sensor.
Working Principle
NE555 circuit provides IR signals with frequency to the emitter TX, then the IR signals will fade with the increase of transmission distance. If encountering the obstacle, it will be reflected back.
When the receiver RX meets the weak signals reflected back, the receiving pin will output high levels, which indicates the obstacle is far away. On the contrary, it the reflected signals are stronger, low levels will be output, which represents the obstacle is close. There are two potentiometers on the module, and by adjusting the two potentiometers, we can adjust its effective distance.

Project 10: Line Tracking Sensor
Description
In this kit, there is a DIY electronic building block single-channel line tracking sensor which mainly uses a TCRT5000 reflective black and white line recognition sensor element.
In the experiment, we judge the color (black and white) of the object detected by the sensor by reading the high and low levels of the S terminal on the module; and display the test results on the shell.
Working Principle
When a black or no object is detected, the signal terminal will output high levels; when white object is detected, the signal terminal is low level; its detection height is 0-3cm. We can adjust the sensitivity by rotating the potentiometer on the sensor. When the potentiometer is rotated, the sensitivity is best when the red LED on the sensor is at the critical point between off and on.

Project 15: Reed Switch Module
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio reed switch module, which mainly uses a MKA10110 green reed component.
The reed switch is the abbreviation of the dry reed switch. It is a passive electronic switch element with contacts.
It has the advantages of simple structure, small size and easy control.
Its shell is a sealed glass tube with two iron elastic reed electric plates.
In the experiment, we will determine whether there is a magnetic field near the module by reading the high and low level of the S terminal on the module; and, we display the test result in the shell.
Working Principle
In normal conditions, the glass tube in the two reeds made of special materials are separated. When a magnetic substance close to the glass tube, in the role of the magnetic field lines, the pipe within the two reeds are magnetized to attract each other in contact, the reed will suck together, so that the junction point of the connected circuit communication.
After the disappearance of the outer magnetic reed because of their flexibility and separate, the line is disconnected. The sensor uses this characteristic to build a circuit to convert magnetic field signal into high and low level signal.

Project 16: PIR Motion Sensor
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio PIR motion sensor, which mainly uses an RE200B-P sensor elements. It is a human body pyroelectric motion sensor based on pyroelectric effect, which can detect infrared rays emitted by humans or animals, and the Fresnel lens can make the sensor’s detection range farther and wider.
In the experiment, we determine if there is someone moving nearby by reading the high and low levels of the S terminal on the module. The detected results will be displayed on the Shell.
Working Principle
The upper left part is voltage conversion(VCC to 3.3V). The working voltage of sensors we use is 3.3V, therefore we can’t use 5V directly. The voltage conversion circuit is needed.
When no person is detected or no infrared signal is received, and pin 1 of the sensor outputs low level. At this time, the LED on the module will light up and the MOS tube Q1 will be connected and the signal terminal S will detect Low levels.
When one is detected or an infrared signal is received, and pin 1 of the sensor outputs a high level. Then LED on the module will go off, the MOS tube Q1 is disconnected and the signal terminal S will detect high levels.

Project 17: Active Buzzer
Overview
In this kit, it contains an active buzzer module and a power amplifier module (the principle is equivalent to a passive buzzer). In this experiment, we control the active buzzer to emit sounds. Since it has its own oscillating circuit, the buzzer will automatically sound if given large voltage.
Working Principle
From the schematic diagram, the pin of buzzer is connected to a resistor R2 and another port is linked with a NPN triode Q1. So, if this triode Q1 is powered, the buzzer will sound.
If the base electrode of the triode connected to the R1 resistor is a high level, the triode Q1 will be connected.If the base electrode is pulled down by the resistor R3, the triode is disconnected.
When we output a high level from the IO port to the triode, the buzzer will emit sounds; if outputting low levels, the buzzer won’t emit sounds.

Project 18: 8002b Audio Power Amplifier
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio 8002b audio power amplifier. The main components of this module are an adjustable potentiometer, a speaker, and an audio amplifier chip.
The main function of this module is: it can amplify the output audio signal, with a magnification of 8.5 times, and play sound or music through the built-in low-power speaker, as an external amplifying device for some music playing equipment.
In the experiment, we used the 8002b power amplifier speaker module to emit sounds of various frequencies.
Working Principle
In fact, it is similar to a passive buzzer. The active buzzer has its own oscillation source. Yet, the passive buzzer does not have internal oscillation. When controlling the circuit, we need to input square waves of different frequencies to the positive pole of the component and ground the negative pole to control the buzzer to chime sounds of different frequencies.

Project 19: 130 Motor
Description
The 130 motor driver module is compatible with servo motors, which has high efficiency and good quality fans.
It adopts a HR1124S motor control chip. HR1124S is a single-channel H-bridge driver chip for DC motor solutions. In addition, this chip has low standby current and low quiescent current.
The module is compatible with various single-chip control boards. In the experiment, we can control the rotation direction of the motor by outputting the voltage directions of the two signal terminals IN+ and IN- to make the motor rotate.
Working Principle
The chip is used to help drive the motor. We can’t drive it with a triode or an IO port due to its a large current of need. It is very simple to make the motor rotate. Just apply voltage to both ends of the motor. The direction of the motor is different in different voltage directions. Within the rated voltage, the higher the voltage, the faster the motor rotates; on the contrary, the lower the voltage, the slower the motor rotates, or even unable to rotate.
So we can use the PWM port to control the speed of the motor. We haven’t learned PWM here, so we use the high and low levels to control the motor first.
Required Components
Note: the motor is separated with its fan, you need to assemble it first.

Working Principle
It uses a 10K adjustable resistor. We can change the resistance by rotating the potentiometer. The signal S can detect the voltage changes(0-3.3V) which are analog quantity.
ADC: The more bits an ADC has, the denser the partitioning of the simulation, the higher the accuracy of the final conversion.
Subsection 1: The analog value within 0V—3.3/4095 V corresponds to the number 0; Subsection 2: The analog value within 3.3/4095V—2*3.3/4095V corresponds to the number 1; ……

Code Explanation
1). analogVal means analog value. The rotary potentiometer outputs analog values(0~4095), therefore, we set pins to analog ports. For example, we connect to GPIO34.
2). analogRead(pin): read the value of the specified analog pin. The ESP32 contains a multi-channel, 12-bit converter. This means that it will map the input voltage between 0 and the working voltage (5V or 3.3V ) to an integer value between 0 and 4095. For example, this will produce a resolution among readings: 3.3V/4096 stands for 0.0008V per unit.
3). The map() function converts this 12-bit DAC value to an 8-bit DAC value.
4). Pin: the name of analog input pin.
5). The serial monitor displays the values of adcVal, dacVal, voltage, the baud rate must be set before display (we default to 9600,which can be changed).
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on, open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600. The serial monitor will display the potentiometer’s ADC value, DAC value and voltage value. Rotate the potentiometer handle, the analog values will change.

Working Principle
Its principle is to detect the amount of water through the exposed printed parallel lines on the circuit board. The more water there is, the more wires will be connected, and the conductive contact area increases. The voltage output by pin 2 will gradually increase. The larger the analog value detected by the signal terminal S is.

Project 23: Photoresistor
Description
In this kit, there is a photoresistor consists of photosensitive resistance elements. Its resistance changes with the light intensity. Also, it converts the resistance change into a voltage change through the characteristic of the photosensitive resistive element. When wiring it up, we interface its signal terminal (S terminal) with the analog port of ESP32 , so as to sense the change of the analog value, and display the corresponding analog value in the shell.
Working Principle
If there is no light, the resistance is 0.2MΩ and the detected voltage at the terminal is close to 0. When the light intensity increases, the resistance of photoresistor and detected voltage will diminish, and the detected voltage is increasing.

Project 24: NTC-MF52AT Thermistor
Overview
In the experiment, there is a NTC-MF52AT analog thermistor. We connect its signal terminal to the analog port of the ESP32 mainboard and read the corresponding ADC value, voltage value and thermistor value.
We can use analog values to calculate the temperature of the current environment through specific formulas. Since the temperature calculation formula is more complicated, we only read the corresponding analog value.
Working Principle
This module mainly uses NTC-MF52AT thermistor element, which can sense the changes of the surrounding environment temperature. Resistance changes with the temperature, causing the voltage of the signal terminal S to change.
This sensor uses the characteristics of NTC-MF52AT thermistor element to convert resistance changes into voltage changes.

In daily life, it is often seen that a fire broke out without any precaution. It will cause great economic and human loss. So how can we avoid this situation? Right, install a flame sensor and a speaker in those places that easily break out a fire. When the flame sensor detects a fire, the speaker will alarm people quickly to put out the fire.
So in this project, you will learn how to use a flame sensor and an active buzzer module to simulate the fire alarm system.

This flame sensor can be used to detect fire or other light sources with wavelength stands at 700nm ~ 1000nm. Its detection angle is about 60°. You can rotate the potentiometer on the sensor to control its sensitivity. Adjust the potentiometer to make the LED at the critical point between on and off state. The sensitivity is the best.
From the below figure, power up. When detecting fire, the digital pin outputs low levels, the red LED2 will light up first, the digital signal terminal D0 outputs a low level, and the red LED1 will light up. The stronger the external infrared light, the smaller the value; the weaker the infrared light, the larger the value.

Project 27: MQ-2 Gas Sensor
Description
This analog gas sensor - MQ2 is used in gas leakage detecting equipment in consumer electronics and industrial markets.
This sensor is suitable for detecting LPG, I-butane, propane, methane, alcohol, Hydrogen and smoke. It has high sensitivity and quick response.
In addition, the sensitivity can be adjusted by rotating the potentiometer.

Working Principle
The greater the concentration of smoke, the greater the conductivity, the lower the output resistance, the greater the output analog signal.
When in use, the A0 terminal reads the analog value of the corresponding gas; the D0 terminal is connected to an LM393 chip (voltage comparator), we can adjust the alarm threshold of the measured gas through the potentiometer, and output the digital value at D0. When the measured gas content exceeds the critical point, the D0 terminal outputs a low level; when the measured gas content does not exceed the critical point, the D0 terminal outputs a high level.

Project 28: MQ-3 Alcohol Sensor
Description
In this kit, there is a MQ-3 alcohol sensor, which uses the gas-sensing material is tin dioxide (SnO2) which has a low conductivity in clean air. When there is alcohol vapor in the environment where the sensor is located, the conductivity of the sensor increases with the increase of the alcohol gas concentration in the air. The change in conductivity can be converted into an output signal corresponding to the gas concentration using a simple circuit.
In the experiment, we read the analog value at the A0 end of the sensor and the digital value at the D0 end to judge the content of alcohol vapor in the air and whether they exceed the standard.
Working Principle
At a certain temperature, the conductivity changes with the composition of the ambient gas. When in use, A0 terminal reads the analog value corresponding to alcohol vapor; D0 terminal is connected to an LM393 chip (comparator), we can adjust and measure the alcohol vapor alarm threshold through the potentiometer, and output the digital value at D0. When the measured alcohol vapor content exceeds the critical point, the D0 terminal outputs a low level; when the measured alcohol vapor content does not exceed the critical point, the D0 terminal outputs a high level.

Project 29: Five-key AD Button Module
Description
When we talked about analog and digital sensors earlier, we talked about the single-channel key module. When we press the key, it outputs a low level, and when we release the key, it outputs a high level. We can only read these two digital signals. In fact, the key module ADC acquisition can also be performed. In this kit, a DIY electronic building block five-way AD button module is included.
We can judge which key is pressed through the analog value. In the experiment, we print out the key press information in the shell.
Working Principle
Let’s look at the schematic diagram, when we do not press the key, the OUT of S output to the signal end is pulled down by R1. At this time, we read the low level 0V. When we press the key SW1, the OUT of the output to the signal end S is directly connected to the VCC. At this time, we read the high level 3.3V(the figure is marked as a 12-bit ADC(0~4095) and VCC is 5V. The principle is the same. Here we have VCC of 3.3V and ADC mapped to 12 bits), which is an analog value of 4095.
Next,when we press the key SW2, the OUT terminal voltage of the signal we read is the voltage between R2 and R1, namely VCC*R1/(R2+R1), which is about 2.64V, and the analog value is about 3276.
When we press the key SW3, the OUT terminal voltage of the signal we read is the voltage between R2+R3 and R1, namely VCC*R1/(R3+R2+R1), which is about 1.99V, and the analog value is about 2469.
When we press the key SW4, the OUT terminal voltage of the signal we read is the voltage between R2+R3+R4 and R1, namely VCC*R1/(R4+R3+R2+R1), about 1.31V, and the analog value is about 1626.
Similarly, when we press the key SW5, the OUT terminal voltage of the signal we read is the voltage between R2+R3+R4+R5 and R1, namely VCC*R1/(R5+R4+R3+R2+R1), which is about 0.68V, and the analog value is about 844. R4+R3+R2+R1), which is about 0.68V, and the analog value is about 844.

Code Explanation
We assign the read analog value to the variable val, and the serial monitor displays the value of val, (we set to 9600).
When the analog value is in the range of 500 and 1000, the button SW5 is pressed; when the analog value is in the 1000 and 2000, the button SW4 is pressed; when the analog value is between 2000 and 3000, the button SW3 is pressed; when the analog value is between 3000 and 4000, the button SW2 is pressed. When the analog value is above 4000, we judge that the button SW1 is pressed.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. Open the serial monitor and set baud rate to 9600; when the button is pressed, the serial monitor prints out the corresponding information, as shown in the figure below.
Project 30: Joystick Module
Overview
Game handle controllers are ubiquitous. There is a joystick module in this kit, which mainly uses PS2 joysticks. When controlling it, we need to connect the X and Y ports of the module to the analog port of the single-chip microcomputer, port B to the digital port of the single-chip microcomputer, VCC to the power output port(3.3-5V), and GND to the GND of the MCU. We can read the high and low levels of two analog values and one digital port) to determine the working status of the joystick on the module.
In the experiment, two analog values(x axis and y axis) will be shown on the Shell.
Working Principle
In fact, its working principle is very simple. Its inside structure is equivalent to two adjustable potentiometers and a button. When this button is not pressed and the module is pulled down by R1, low levels will be output ; on the contrary, when the button is pressed, VCC will be connected (high levels). When we move the joystick, the internal potentiometer will adjust to output different voltages, and we can read the analog value.

Project 31: Relay Module
Overview
In our daily life, we usually use communication to drive electrical equipment, and sometimes we use switches to control electrical equipment. If the switch is connected directly to the ac circuit, leakage occurs and people are in danger. Therefore, from the perspective of safety, we specially designed this relay module with NO(normally open) end and NC(normally closed) end.
Working Principle
Relay is compatible with a variety of microcontroller control board, such as Arduino series microcontroller, which is a small current to control the operation of large current “automatic switch”.
Input Voltage：3.3V-5V
It can let the MCU control board drive 3A load, such as an LED lamp belt, a DC motor, a micro water pump and a solenoid valve pluggable interface design, which is easy to use.

Project 32: SK6812 RGB Module
Overview
In previous lessons, we learned about the plug-in RGB module and used PWM signals to color the three pins of the module.
There is a Keyestudio 6812 RGB module whose the driving principle is different from the plug-in RGB module. It can only control with one pin. This is a set. It is an intelligent externally controlled LED light source with the control circuit and the light-emitting circuit. Each LED element is the same as a 5050 LED lamp bead, and each component is a pixel. There are four lamp beads on the module, which indicates four pixels.
In the experiment, we make different lights show different colors.
Working Principle
From the schematic diagram, we can see that these four pixel lighting beads are all connected in series. In fact, no matter how many they are, we can use a pin to control a light and let it display any color. The pixel point contains a data latch signal shaping amplifier drive circuit, a high-precision internal oscillator and a 12V high-voltage programmable constant current control part, which effectively ensures the color of the pixel point light is highly consistent.
The data protocol adopts a single-wire zero-code communication method. After the pixel is powered up and reset, the S terminal receives the data transmitted from the controller. The first 24bit data sent is extracted by the first pixel and sent to the data latch of the pixel.

Project 33: Rotary Encoder
Overview
In this kit, there is a Keyestudio rotary encoder, dubbed as switch encoder. It is applied to automotive electronics, multimedia audio, instrumentation, household appliances, smart home, medical equipment and so on.
In the experiment, it is used for counting. When we rotate the rotary encoder clockwise, the set data adds 1; if you rotate it anticlockwise, the set data substructs1; and when the middle button is pressed, the value will be show in the serial monitor.
Working Principle
The incremental encoder converts the displacement into a periodic electric signal, and then converts this signal into a counting pulse, and the number of pulses indicates the size of the displacement.
This module mainly uses 20-pulse rotary encoder components. It can calculate the number of pulses output during clockwise and reverse rotation. There is no limit to count rotation. It resets to the initial state, that is, starts counting from 0.

Rotate the knob on the rotary encoder clockwise, the displayed data will increase; on the contrary, in anticlockwise way, the data will decrease. Equally, press the button on the rotary encoder,“Switch pressed”will be shown.
Project 34: Servo Control
Overview
Servo motor is a position control rotary actuator. It mainly consists of a housing, a circuit board, a core-less motor, a gear and a position sensor.
In general, servo has three lines in brown, red and orange. The brown wire is grounded, the red one is a positive pole line and the orange one is a signal line.
Working Principle
The rotation angle of servo motor is controlled by regulating the duty cycle of PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation) signal. The standard cycle of PWM signal is 20ms (50Hz).
Theoretically, the width is distributed between 1ms-2ms, but in fact, it’s between 0.5ms-2.5ms. The width corresponds the rotation angle from 0° to 180°. But note that for different brand motors, the same signal may have different rotation angles.

Code Explanation 1
map(value, fromLow, fromHigh, toLow, toHigh)
Value is the value we map. fromLow, fromHigh is the maximum and minimum value, toLow, toHigh are the upper limit and lower limit we map.
For example, map(myangle, 0, 180, 500, 2500) means that an angle value myangle (0°-180°）the mapping range is from 500us to 2500us.
We use the function servopulse() to make the servo move. We also make the servo rotate 0°, 90°and 180°cyclically.

Project 35: Ultrasonic Sensor
Bats and some marine animals are able to use high frequencies of sound for echolocation or communication. They can emit ultrasonic waves from the larynx through the mouth or nose and use the sound waves that bounce back to orient and determine the position, size and whether nearby objects are moving.
Ultrasonic is a frequency higher than 20000 Hz sound wave, which has a good direction, a strong penetration ability, and is easy to obtain more concentrated sound energy as well as spread far in the water. It can be used for ranging, speed measurement, cleaning, welding, gravel, sterilization and disinfection. What‘s more, it has many applications in medicine, military, industry and agriculture.
Overview
In this kit, there is a keyes HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, which can detect obstacles in front and the detailed distance between the sensor and the obstacle. Its principle is the same as that of bat flying. It can emit the ultrasonic signals that cannot be heard by humans. When these signals hit an obstacle and come back immediately. The distance between the sensor and the obstacle can be calculated by the time gap of emitting signals and receiving signals.
In the experiment, we use the sensor to detect the distance between the sensor and the obstacle, and print the test result.
Working Principle
The most common ultrasonic ranging method is the echo detection. As shown below; when the ultrasonic emitter emits the ultrasonic waves towards certain direction, the counter will count. The ultrasonic waves travel and reflect back once encountering the obstacle. Then the counter will stop counting when the receiver receives the ultrasonic waves coming back.
The ultrasonic wave is also sound wave, and its speed of sound V is related to temperature. Generally, it travels 340m/s in the air. According to time t, we can calculate the distance s from the emitting spot to the obstacle. $\( s=340t/2 \)$ The HC-SR04 ultrasonic ranging module can provide a non-contact distance sensing function of 2cm-400cm, and the ranging accuracy can reach as high as 3mm; the module includes an ultrasonic transmitter, receiver and control circuit. Basic working principle:
1). First pull down the TRIG, and then trigger it with at least 10us high level signal;
2). After triggering, the module will automatically transmit eight 40KHZ square waves, and automatically detect whether there is a signal to return.
3). If there is a signal returned back, through the ECHO to output a high level, the duration time of high level is actually the time from emission to reception of ultrasonic.

Project 36: IR Receiver Module
Overview
Infrared remote control is currently the most widely used means of communication and remote control, which has the characteristics of small volume, low power consumption, strong function and low cost. Therefore, recorder, audio equipment, air conditioning machine and toys and other small electrical devices have also used the infrared remote control.
Its transmitting circuit is the use of infrared light emitting diode to emit modulated infrared light wave. The circuit is composed of infrared receiving diode, triode or silicon photocell. They convert infrared light emitted by infrared emitter into corresponding electrical signal, and then send back amplifier.
In this experiment, we need to know how to use the infrared receiving sensor. The infrared receiving sensor mainly uses the VS1838B infrared receiving sensor element. It integrates receiving, amplifying, and demodulating. The internal IC has already completed the demodulation, and the output is a digital signal. It can receive 38KHz modulated remote control signal.
In the experiment, we use the IR receiver to receive the infrared signal emitted by the external infrared transmitting device, and display the received signal in the shell.
Working Principle
The main part of the IR remote control system is modulation, transmission and reception. The modulated carrier frequency is generally between 30khz and 60khz, and most of them use a square wave of 38kHz and a duty ratio of 1/3. A 4.7K pull-up resistor R3 is added to the signal end of the infrared receiver.

Project 37: DS18B20 Temperature Sensor
Description
In this kit, there is a DS18B20 temperature sensor, which is from maxim. The MCU can communicate with the DS18B20 through 1-Wire protocol, and finally read the temperature.
In this experiment, we will use this temperature sensor to measure the temperature in the current environment. The test result is ℃, ranging from -55℃ to +125℃. We will display the test result on shell.
Working Principle
The hardware interface of the 1-Wire bus is very simple, just connect the data pin of the DS18B20 to an IO port of the microcontroller. The timing of the 1-Wire bus is relatively complex. Many students can’t understand the timing diagram independently here. We have encapsulated the complex timing operations in the library, and you can use the library functions directly.

This can save up to 12-bit temperature vale. In the register, save in code complement. As shown below;
A total of 2 bytes, LSB is the low byte, MSB is the high byte, where MSb is the high byte of the byte, LSb is the low byte of the byte. As you can see, the binary number, the meaning of the temperature represented by each bit, is expressed. Among them, S represents the sign bit, and the lower 11 bits are all powers of 2, which are used to represent the final temperature. The temperature measurement range of DS18B20 is from -55 degrees to +125 degrees, and the expression form of temperature data, S represents positive and negative temperature, and the resolution is 2﹣⒋, which is 0.0625.

Set a double decimal variable to temp, and assign the measured result to temp.
The serial monitor displays the temp value, and the baud rate needs to be set before displaying (our default setting is 9600, which can be changed).
We add the unit behind the data. If the unit is directly set to °C, the test result will be garbled. So we directly replace ℃ with C.

Project 41: TM1650 4-Digit Tube Display
Overview
This module is mainly composed of a 0.36 inch red common cathode 4-digit digital tube, and its driver chip is TM1650. When using it, we only need two signal lines to make the single-chip microcomputer control a 4-bitdigit tube, which greatly saves the IO port resources of the control board.
TM1650 is a special circuit for LED (light emitting diode display) drive control. It integrates MCU input and output control digital interface, data latch, LED drivers, keyboard scanning, brightness adjustment and other circuits.
TM1650 has stable performance, reliable quality and strong anti-interference ability.
It can be applied to the application of long-term continuous working for 24 hours.
TM1650 uses 2-wire serial transmission protocol for communication (note that this data transmission protocol is not a standard I2C protocol). The chip can drive the digital tube and save MCU pin resources through two pins and MCU communication.
Working Principle
TM1650 adopts IIC treaty, which uses DIO and CLK buses.
Data command setting: 0x48 means that we light up the digital tube, instead of enable the function of key scanning
Command display setting:
bit[6:4]: set the brightness of tube display, and 000 is brightest
bit[3]: set to show decimal points
bit[0]: start the display of the tube display

Project 42: HT16K33_8X8 Dot Matrix Module
Overview
What is the dot matrix display? If we apply the previous circuit, there will be must one IO port to control only one LED. When more LED need to be controlled, we may adopt a dot matrix. The 8X8 dot matrix is composed of 64 light-emitting diodes, and each light-emitting diode is placed at the intersection of the row line and the column line. Refer to the experimental schematic diagram below, when the corresponding column is set to a high level and a certain row to low, the corresponding diode will light up. For instance, set pin 13 to a high level and pin 9 to low, and then the first LED will light up. In the experiment, we display icons via this dot matrix.
Working Principle
As the schematic diagram shown, to light up the LED at the first row and column, we only need to set C1 to high level and R1 to low level. To turn on LEDs at the first row, we set R1 to low level and C1-C8 to high level.
16 IO ports are needed, which will highly waste the MCU resources.
Therefore, we designed this module, using the HT16K33 chip to drive an 8*8 dot matrix, which greatly saves the resources of the single-chip microcomputer.
There are three DIP switches on the module, all of which are set to I2C communication address. The setting method is shown below. A0，A1 and A2 are grounded, that is, the address is 0x70.

Code Explanation
First we need to import the library file.
The pattern in our code is an array of byte data type, which is shown in the table below.
We convert {0x00,0x42,0x41,0x09,0x09,0x41,0x42,0x00} into binary, and fill in the 8*8 form below to make it clear. 1 means on, 0 means off. Then we can see that it is a smile shape.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. Then the dot matrix displays a “ smile ”pattern.

Project 44: RFID Module
Description
RFIDRFID-RC522 radio frequency module adopts a Philips MFRC522 original chip to design card reading circuit, easy to use and low cost, suitable for equipment development and card reader development and so on.
RFID or Radio Frequency Identification system consists of two main components, a transponder/tag attached to an object to be identified, and a transceiver also known as interrogator/Reader.
In the experiment, the data read by the card swipe module is 4 hexadecimal numbers, and we print these four hexadecimal numbers as strings. For example, we read the data of the IC card below: 0xED、0xF7、0x94、0x5A and the information string displayed in the serial monitor is ED F7 94 5A ; the data read from the keychain is: 0x4C、0x09、0x6B、0x6E . Different IC cards and different key chains have diverse data.
Working Principle
Radio frequency identification, the card reader is composed of a radio frequency module and a high-level magnetic field. The Tag transponder is a sensing device, and this device does not contain a battery. It only contains tiny integrated circuit chips and media for storing data and antennas for receiving and transmitting signals. To read the data in the tag, first put it into the reading range of the card reader. The reader will generate a magnetic field, and because the magnetic energy generates electricity according to Lenz’s law, the RFID tag will supply power, thereby activating the device.

After uploading successfully, open the serial monitor and set baud rate to 9600, then the ADC value of the flame will be printed. When this value is less than 3000, the fan will work to blow out the fire, otherwise, it will be turned off. Basically, the ADC value can be set by yourself.
Project 49: Rotary Encoder control RGB
Introduction
In this lesson, we will control the LED on the RGB module to show different colors through a rotary encoder.
When designing the code, we need to divide the obtained values by 3 to get the remainders. The remainder is 0 and the LED will become red. The remainder is 1, the LED will become green. The remainder is 2, the LED will turn blue.

Code Explanation
1). In the experiment, we set the val to the remainder of Encoder_Count divided by 3. Encoder_Count is the value of the encoder. Then we can set pin GPIO0 (red), GPIO2 (green) and GPIO15 (blue) according to remainders.
2). Referring to the control method learned in the previous experiment, use the LED on the remainder control module to display the corresponding light color. The value obtained by taking the remainder of 3 for any number is 0 or 1 or 2. We use these three values to judge, and display the corresponding color.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. Open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600, then rotate the knob of the rotary encoder to display the reminders, which can control colors of LED(red green blue).
Project 50: Rotary Potentiometer
Introduction
In the previous courses, we did experiments of breathing light and controlling LED with button. In this course, we do these two experiments by controlling the brightness of LED through an adjustable potentiometer. The brightness of LED is controlled by PWM values, and the range of analog values is 0 to 4095 and the PWM value range is 0-255.
After the code is set successfully, we can control the brightness of the LED on the module by rotating the potentiometer.

Project 52: Sound Activated Light
Introduction
In this lesson, we will make a smart sound activated light using a sound sensor and an LED module. When we make a sound, the light will automatically turn on; when there is no sound, the light will automatically turn off. How it works? Because the sound-controlled light is equipped with a sound sensor, and this sensor converts the intensity of external sound into a corresponding value. Then set a threshold, when the threshold is exceeded, the light will go on, and when it is not exceeded, the light will go off.

Project 56: Ultrasonic Radar
Description
We know that bats use echoes to determine the direction and the location of their preys. In real life, sonar is used to detect sounds in the water. Since the attenuation rate of electromagnetic waves in water is very high, it cannot be used to detect signals, however, the attenuation rate of sound waves in the water is much smaller, so sound waves are most commonly used underwater for observation and measurement.
In this experiment, we will use a speaker module, an RGB module and a 4-digit tube display to make a device for detection through ultrasonic.

Code Explanation
The setting of variables and the storage of detection values are the same as what we learned earlier. We also set a temperature threshold and control the rotation of the motor when the threshold is exceeded, and then we use the digital tube to display the temperature value.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram and power on. Switch the DIP switch on the ESP32 expansion board to the ON end, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully, we can see the temperature of the current environment (unit is Celsius) on the four-digit segment display, as shown in the figure below. If this value exceeds the value we set, the fan will rotate to dissipate heat.

Code Explanation
In the previous experiment, our card swipe module has tested the information of IC card and key. Then we use this corresponding information to control the door.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. Open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600. When we use the IC card or blue key to swipe the card, the monitor displays the card and the key information and “open the door”, at the same time, the servo rotates to the corresponding angle to simulate opening the door.
Project 60：Bluetooth
This chapter mainly introduces how to use the Bluetooth of ESP32 for simple data transmission with mobile phone. Experiment 60.1 is conventional Bluetooth, and experiment 60.2 is Bluetooth control LED.
Project 60.1：Classic Bluetooth
Components
In this experiment, we need to use a Bluetooth dabbed serial Bluetooth terminal for a study. If you haven’t install it, please click the installation: https://www.appsapk.com/serial-bluetooth-terminal/ .
Here is its sign:
Component Knowledge
Bluetooth is a short-distance communication system that can be divided into two types, namely low power Bluetooth (BLE) and classic Bluetooth. There are two modes for simple data transfer: master mode and slave mode.
Master Mode:
In this mode, work is done on the master device and can be connected to the slave device. When the device initiates a connection request in the main mode, information such as the address and pairing password of other Bluetooth devices are required. Once paired, you can connect directly to them.
Slave Mode:
A Bluetooth module in the slave mode can only accept connection requests from the host, but cannot initiate connection requests. After being connected to a host device, it can send and receive data through the host device. Bluetooth devices can interact with each other, when they interact, the Bluetooth device in the main mode searches for nearby devices. While a connection is established, they can exchange data. For example, when a mobile phone exchanges data with ESP32, the mobile phone is usually in master mode and the ESP32 is in slave mode.
Wiring Diagram
We can use a USB cable to connect ESP32 mainboard to the USB port on a computer.

Note:
If the sent content is not “led-on ‘or” led-off “, the status of the LED will not change. If the LED is on, it remains on when irrelevant content is received; Conversely, if the LED is off, it continues to be off when irrelevant content is received.
Project 61：WIFI Station Mode
Description
ESP32 has three different WiFi modes: Station mode, AP mode and AP+Station mode. All WiFi programming projects must be configured with WiFi running mode before using, otherwise the WiFi cannot be used. In this project, we are going to learn the WiFi Station mode of the ESP32.
Components
Wiring Diagram
Plug the ESP32 to the USB port of your PC.
Component Knowledge
Station mode：
When setting Station mode, the ESP32 is taken as a WiFi client. It can connect to the router network and communicate with other devices on the router via a WiFi connection. As shown in the figure below, the PC and the router have been connected. If the ESP32 wants to communicate with the PC, the PC and the router need to be connected.
Test Code
Since WiFi names and passwords vary from place to place, thereby users need to enter the correct WiFi names and passwords in the box shown below before the program code runs.

Open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 115200. When the ESP32 successfully connects to ssid_WiFi, the serial monitor prints out the IP address, then monitor will display as follows: (If open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 115200, the information is not displayed, please press the button RESET of the ESP32)
Project 62：WIFI AP Mode
Description
In this project, we are going to learn the WiFi AP mode of the ESP32.
Components
Wiring Diagram
Plug the ESP32 mainboard to the USB port of your PC.
Component Knowledge
AP Mode:
When setting AP mode, a hotspot network will be created, waiting for other WiFi devices to connect. As shown below:
Take the ESP32 as the hotspot, if a phone or PC needs to communicate with the ESP32, it must be connected to the ESP32’s hotspot. Communication is only possible after a connection is established via the ESP32.

Code Explanation
1). Calculate how many times the button is pressed, divide it by 8, and get the remainder which is 0, 1 2, 3, 4, 5 , 6 and 7. According to different remainders, construct eight unique functions to control the experiment and realize different functions.
2). Following the instructions, we can add or remove sensors/modules in the wiring, and then change the experimental function in the code.
Test Result
Connect the wires according to the experimental wiring diagram, compile and upload the code to the ESP32. After uploading successfully，we will use a USB cable to power on. At the beginning, the number of the button is 0 and remainder is 0. Open the monitor and set baud rate to 9600.
Press the button, the RGB stops flashing, press once, the remainder is 1. The function of the experiment is to detect black objects and white objects by a line tracking sensor. If the sensor does not detect an object or detects a black object, val is 1, and the serial monitor displays the character “1 Black”. When a white object (reflective) is detected, val is 0 and the serial monitor displays the character “0 White”, the serial monitor will display as follows:
Press a key twice, the time of pressing buttons is 2 and the remainder is 2. Read temperature and humidity values. As shown below:
Press a key again, the time of pressing buttons is 3 and the remainder is 3. Read digital values at x, y and z axis of the joystick module. As shown below:
Press the key for the fourth time, the remainder is 4. Then the potentiometer can adjust the PWM value at the GPI05 port to control LED brightness of the purple LED.
Press the key for the fifth time, the remainder is 5. Then the ultrasonic sensor can detect obstacles, as shown below:
Press the key for the sixth time, the remainder is 6. Then the ultrasonic sensor can detect distance away from obstacles, as shown below:
Press the key for seventh time and the remainder is 7. The monitor will print out the acceleration values.
Press the key for eighth time and the remainder is 0. Then the RGB will flash. If you press keys incessantly, remainders will change in a loop way. So does functions.

Test Result
After the code has been modified correctly, connect the external power supply and power on. Switch the DIP switch ON the ESP32 expansion board to the ON end, compile and upload the code to the ESP32 mainboard.（If uploading the code is not successful，press the Boot button on the ESP32 mainboard with your hand after click
, release it when the upload progress percentage appears.)
Open the serial monitor and set baud rate to 115200, then the monitor prints the detected WiFi IP address. (If open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 115200, the information is not displayed, please press the button RESET of the ESP32)
Open WiFi APP, enter the detected WIFI IP address in the text box in front of the WIFI button (for example, the IP address detected by the serial monitor above is 192.168.0.156). Next, click the WIFI button to connect to WIFI, at the same time, the corresponding WiFi IP address will be displayed in the text box :“Hello from ESP32 at 192.168.0.156”, then the APP has connected to WiFi.(WiFi IP address sometimes changes, if the original IP address can not use, you need to re-check it.)
After the APP is connected to WiFi, the following operations are performed:
Click
button, the relay will be opened, the APP will display
，and the indicator lights up on the module. Clickagain, the relay will be closed , the APP will display 
，and the indicator on the module is off.Click
button，the servo rotates 180°，the APP will display again，the APP will display 
，the servo rotates 0°.Click
button，the motor（with small fan blades）rotates，the APP will display again，close the motor，the APP will display 
；Click
button，the ultrasonic sensor detects the distance, put an object in front of the ultrasonic sensor, the APP will display
（different distances show different numbers）, the distance between the object and the ultrasonic sensor is 14cm；click again, turn off the sensor, the APP will display 
.Click
button，the temperature and humidity sensor measures the temperature in the environment, the APP will display 
（different temperatures show different temperature values），the ambient temperature is 28 ° C., click again, turn off the sensor，the APP will display 
.Click
button，the temperature and humidity
sensor measures the humidity in the environment,，the APP will display 
（different humidity show different humidity values）, the ambient humidity is 52%；clickagain，turn off the sensor, the APP will display 
.
