**An Arduino board is used in an obstacle finding Robot. The

power supply which is about 8 Volts is connected to the Vcc Pin. An

input to the Ultrasonic sensor is given from the analogue pin A3 and
the output is taken from the Receiver pin RXD. Based on the Ultrasonic
sensors output, the BLDC motors are programed to run which are
connected to D3, D4, D5 and D6. When this connection was given, the
Robot did not even move. What would have been the problem with the
circuit?
a) Since Ultrasonic sensor takes only the digital Values it cannot be
taken from pin A3.
b) Since Ultrasonic sensor gives only the digital Values it cannot be
given to pin RXD.
c) Power supply is too high to be given to Vcc.
d) None of these
22.
