METHODOLOGY OF INFORMATION PROCESSING AND STORAGE IN A COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR CONDUCTING RESEARCH IN THE PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF QUALIFICATION WORK

Abstract

The methodology for using the Arduino Leonardo microcontroller in conducting scientific research and presenting the results obtained when writing an article, during a conference speech, and in the process of defending a qualification thesis is considered. It has been established that the existing hardware and software included in the Arduino microcontroller kits can be used as the basis for creating experimental equipment for conducting research by students in various fields of science and technology. The architecture of Arduino boards and their software allow you to receive and process information from various types of sensors in the form of analogue and digital signals. The established dependencies between input and output values allow you to prepare a meaningful presentation to highlight the results of research in speeches at scientific conferences, seminars, as well as in the presentation of a qualification work. Based on the use of the Arduino Leonardo microcontroller and a personal computer, an experimental setup has been developed for conducting experimental studies of a computer-integrated lighting control system for a smart home. An algorithm and software have been developed for measuring and registering the luminous flux when using a photoresistor as a sensor and LEDs to simulate lighting sources. A method for storing the obtained experimental data in a MySQL database is proposed. A methodology for conducting experimental studies of the operation of a computer-integrated lighting control system has been developed.The experimental dependence of the voltage output from the photoresistor on the value of the luminous flux of the internal LED confirmed the reliability of the initial assumptions adopted in the process of creating the software for the developed experimental setup.
