Aim
To create a mirror with lights that turn on when someone is in front of it.
Problem statement
The smart mirror should incorporate sensors to detect the user’s presence and ambient light levels. Implement a responsive lighting system that provides adequate illumination for tasks like grooming or makeup application. Additionally, integrate smart features such as voice commands or mobile app control for customization, and ensure energy efficiency by incorporating automatic dimming or turning off when not in use.
Material used
Input: Ultrasonic Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: LED Lamp
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Ultrasonic sensor
The function of Ultrasonic Sensor is to detect the person
LED Lamp
LED lamp is used to turn on and off the light when someone is near to the mirror.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Ultrasonic Sensor and LED Lamp.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the person is detected, Ultrasonic sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn on the LED.
Case 2: When no person is detected, Ultrasonic sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn off the LED.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
