BAT-HAT FOR BLIND

Aim

The aim of the project is to alert the blind person if there is an object in their pathway

Problem statement

Achieving greater independence for blind individuals is a crucial goal. The challenge is to create a “bat hat” or wearable technology solution that empowers the visually impaired to navigate their surroundings independently. This solution must incorporate advanced sensors and navigation aids while ensuring user comfort, affordability, and adaptability to different living environments and lifestyles.

Material used

Input: Ultrasonic sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery

Component description
Ultrasonic sensor

The function of Ultrasonic 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 alert

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 an object is detected with the range of less than 30CM , the IR Proximity sensor(input) turns on sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace Sensor board(brain). The sensor boards turns on the Buzzer(Output)

Case 2:  When no object is detected  the IR Proximity sensor(input) turns  OFF.

 

Circuit Design (DesignSpace)

Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace

Step 2: Connect the Ultrasonic sensor  to INPUT 3 of the Brain board.

Step 3: Connect Buzzer to Output 1 of the Brain Board.

Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
