Teacher Notes for use with Set 9795<br />

SECTION 3<br />

GETTING STARTED<br />

ACTIVITIES<br />

The Burglar Alarm<br />

Learning Objectives<br />

Students will:<br />

Build a working alarm system for the house using light sensor feedback.<br />

Program the alarm system to work using Pilot 4 (or higher).<br />

Create a motorized device to scare intruders!<br />

Program multiple output devices to respond to one input.<br />

Discussion<br />

In the Ceiling Fan Activity 3, you will find an example program for<br />

checking the light sensor values using the RCX View Display.<br />

Here is an example of a four-step Pilot 4 program that waits for the light<br />

sensor to be activated (input is less then 50 — students need to use their<br />

own number here).Then it flashes the lamp on and off and back on.<br />

The program is set for Continuous Run so the first step of the program<br />

running again is to turn off the lamp.<br />

Students can flash the lamp on and off more times by adding more steps.<br />

They can also adjust the power level of the lamp.<br />
