C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits

Aim:
 To simulate a basic automation system where a fan or LED turns ON if the temperature is high.

Requirements:

  • Arduino Uno

  • TMP36 temperature sensor (or Tinkercad slider as substitute)

  • LED or simulated fan

  • Jumper wires

  • Breadboard

  • Resistor (220Ω for LED)

Steps:

  1. Open Tinkercad Circuits and start a new project.

  2. Place components: Arduino Uno, TMP36 sensor or slider (simulate temperature), LED, and breadboard.

  3. Connect:

    • TMP36:

      • Middle pin → A0 (analog input)

      • Left pin → 5V

      • Right pin → GND

    • LED:

      • Anode (long leg) → digital pin 8 via 220Ω resistor

      • Cathode → GND

  4. Open the Code panel → use Blocks + Text.

  5. Create logic:

    • Read temperature value from A0.

    • If temperature > 30°C, set pin 8 HIGH (LED ON).

    • Else, set pin 8 LOW (LED OFF).

  6. Use the slider to increase temperature and observe LED behavior.
