An Inexpensive, Open-Source USB Arduino Data Acquisition Device for Chemical Instrumentation

Abstract: Many research and teaching laboratories rely on USB data acquisition devices to collect voltage signals from instrumentation. However, these devices can be cost-prohibitive (especially when large numbers are needed for teaching laboratories) and require software to be developed for operation.

Additionally, open-source software written in Python is included so that data can be acquired using nearly any PC or Mac computer with a simple USB connection. Use of the device was demonstrated for a sophomore-level analytical experiment using gas chromatography and a capillary electrophoresis-UV separation on an instrument used for research purposes.

Ultrasonic radar

Abstract: The authors propose a radar made with the ultrasonic sensor type HC — SR04, developed for Arduino. The novelty added by this paper is the development of specific libraries aiming to interface the sensor produced for Arduino with the microcontroller PIC 18F, manufactured by Microchip. We have taken into account the temperature influence on the ultrasound. The radar can detect objects located at distances between 2 cm and 4 meters and displays the value of distance to the object. The object detection is performed inside an angle of 180 degrees. The motion sensor that covers this angle uses a stepper motor. Data are presented on a LCD display, the motor movement being synchronized with the browsing of the radar screen. Synchronization is made by programming the timers of the microcontroller. These timers generate interruptions at preset moments, correlated with the completion of a specific area of the graphic display.
