Aim
The aim of the project is to to get alert that owner has received a post
Problem statement
Managing and securing incoming mail and parcels at home can be challenging. The problem is to create a smart post box system within the house that can efficiently receive, organize, and secure mail and packages.
Material used
Input: IR proximity sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Red LED
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR proximity sensor
The function of IR Proximity sensor is to detect the post and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Red LED
The function of the Red LED is to emit light
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity Sensor and control the Red LED.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case-1:When IR PRoximity Sensor detects the post,sensor (input)sends a signal to the TinkerSpace brain board(brain). The brain board turn ON the Red LED(output) and it emits the red light
Case-2:When there is no post, the IR Proximity sensor (input)sends a signal to the TinkerSpace brain board(brain). The brain board turn OFF the Red LED(output)
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the IR Proximity to INPUT 1 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect RED LED to Output 1 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
