The new PCB
Now that we have mastered the Yellow Tyro Board, let us move on to discuss the Blue Elixir Board!
By the Blue Elixer Board, we can see that PCBS can be cut out into any shape and size. Like here we have a round circular printed circuit board.
This PCB has the sensors and devices which are actually present on a real life ship or boat.
Let’s discuss the different components on this board.
ARDUINO: Just like the Yellow Tyro Board, this PCB also runs on an Arduino nano microcontroller.
SERVO MOTOR: This is a very special type of motor that we use to perform a rowing like motion for the ship or boat to move.
ULTRASONIC SENSOR: This is a distance measuring sensor which will tell us distance between our ship to rocks and glaciers. And we make sure that we do not hit them and crash.
SMD LEDS: They are just like the LEDs we worked with previously but smaller and brighter. Instead of going through holes they are just mounted on board, and not wasting much space!
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY SENSOR: This sensor will tell us the temperature and humidity around us.
OLED SCREEN: We have a screen on board to display the measured temperature and humidity.
Let us see how the internal diagram of our Blue Elixer Board Looks like:
