Aim
The aim of the project is to scare the monkey to save the crops.
Problem statement
If you reside in an area which is affected by monkeys, your crops would be stolen by them. To protect your crops from monkeys, we are building a project which scare them instead of hurting.
Material used
Input: IR Proximity Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer and servo motor
Battery: Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR PROXIMITY SENSOR
The function of IR Proximity sensor is to detect the monkey and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
BUZZER
The function of the buzzer is to produce sound to scare the monkey.
SERVO MOTOR
The function of the servo motor is to shake the stick to scare the monkey.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity sensor, buzzer and control servo motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case – 1: When a monkey is detected, the IR proximity sensor (input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace brain board (brain). The brain board turns ON the buzzer and oscillates the servo motor (output).
Case – 2: When a monkey is not detected, the IR proximity sensor (input) turns OFF and sends signal 0 to the TinkerSpace brain board (brain). The brain board turns OFF the buzzer and stops the oscillation of the servo motor
(output).
IR proximity sensor ON —> Buzzer ON, Servo Motor oscillate +/- 45°
IR proximity sensor OFF —> Buzzer OFF, Servo Motor angle 0°
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect IR Proximity Sensor to INPUT 1 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer and Servo Motor to Output 1 and output 2 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
