Aim
To monitor unauthorised entry in crop storage area
Problem statement
The increasing incidents of agricultural crop theft pose a significant threat to farmers’ livelihoods. There is a need for an efficient and cost-effective crop theft detection system that utilizes modern technology, such as surveillance cameras, sensors, or drones, to protect agricultural fields and provide timely alerts to farmers and authorities when unauthorized individuals attempt to steal crops.
Material used
Input: IR Proximity Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR Proximity sensor
The function of IR Proximity 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 alarm
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Light Sensors and control the Street light.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case – 1: When a person is detected near the area, the IR proximity sensor(input) turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace sensor board (brain). The sensor board turns ON the buzzer (output).
Case – 2: When no person is detected, the IR proximity sensor turns OFF.
Hence the sensor board turns OFF the buzzer.
IR Proximity sensor ON – Buzzer ON
IR PRoximity Sensor OFF – Buzzer OFF
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the IR Proximity to INPUT 2 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer to Output 1 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
