Aim
The aim of the project is to rotate the stand to sun light
Problem statement
Traditional methods of papad drying can be time-consuming and inconsistent. The challenge is to design a smart papad drying stand that offers an automated and controlled drying process for papads, considering factors like even drying.
Material used
Input: 2 light sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo Motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
2 light sensor
The function of light Sensor is to detect the light and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Servo Motor
The function of the Servo Motor is to move to the sun light
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Light Sensors and control the Servo Motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case – 1: When light sensor i is detected in the east, the light sensor (input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace sensorboard (brain). The sensor board turns ON the Servo Motor to 60Degree (towards east)
Case – 2: When light sensor i is detected in the west, the light sensor (input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace sensorboard (brain). The sensor board turns ON the Servo Motor to 120Degree (towards west)
Case – 2: When light sensor i is detected from both the sides, the light sensor (input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace sensorboard (brain). The sensor board turns ON the Servo Motor to 90Degree (towards straight)
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the Light sensor to INPUT 2 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Servo Motor to Output 1 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
