Aim
To construct a drawbridge that opens and closes with an IR remote.
Problem statement
where the drawbridge can be remotely opened and closed using an IR remote control. Ensure the system includes safety features, such as obstacle detection to prevent closure when an object is in the pathway, and explore energy-efficient mechanisms for the drawbridge movement
Material used
Input: TSOP sensor (TV remote sensor)
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
TSOP Sensor
The function of TSOP Sensor is to Read TV Remote Signal.
Servo Motor
Servo motor is used to open and close the bridge.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is tis to monitor TSOP Sensor and Servo motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the open command is received from the remote. The brain board oscilates the servo motor to 90 Degree.
Case 2: When the close command is received from the remote. The brain board oscilates the servo motor to 0 Degree.
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect TSOP Sensor to input 3
Step 2: Connect SERVO MOTOR to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
