Arduino for Beginners - 2022 Complete Course - Step 4 - Unlock the App with the Debounced Push Button

The video tutorial explains how to implement a locking and unlocking mechanism for an application using an ultrasonic sensor and a push button. It covers the setup of the sensor to lock the application when an object is within a certain distance and the use of a push button to unlock it. The tutorial details the debounce technique for reliable button press detection and provides a step-by-step guide to coding the logic for locking and unlocking. Testing and debugging methods are also discussed, along with a recap of the project and suggestions for future improvements.

What is the primary purpose of the ultrasonic sensor in the application?

• To measure the distance to an obstacle

• To detect sound waves
