What was built

    Five practicals on an Arduino Uno: a non-blocking traffic-light sequence, two presence-detector exercises, ultrasonic sensors with and without a digital filter, quadrature encoder counting, and orientation from an MPU6050. The complementary filter takes 0.95 of the gyroscope-integrated angle and 0.05 of the accelerometer angle. Recorded IMU sessions are plotted in MATLAB.
