Aim
The aim of the project is to scan a restricted area with radar and alert if any entry found.
Problem statement
Securing restricted areas is crucial, and unauthorized access poses a significant threat. The challenge is to create a radar system that efficiently detects and alerts security personnel about unauthorized intrusions into restricted areas.
Material used
Input: Ultrasonic sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer + RGB LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Ultrasonic sensor
The function of Ultrasonic sensor is to detect the object and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Buzzer
The function of the Buzzer is to produce alert
Servo Motor
The function of the Servo Motor is to scan the area
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Ultrasonic Sensor and control the Buzzer and RGB LED.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When person is detected with the range of less than 30CM , the Ultrasonic sensor(input) turns on sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor board turns OFF the Servo Motor and turns on the Buzzer
Case 2: When no person is detected , the Ultrasonic sensor(input) turns OFF ,sends signal 0 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The brain board sends signal to the Servo Motor to scan radar from 0 degree to 180 degree
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the Ultrasonic sensor to INPUT 3 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer and RGB LED to Output 1 and Output 3 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
