Aim
To create a bedside table with a light that activates based on patient proximity.
Problem statement
Design a smart bedside table equipped with proximity lights that adjust their intensity based on the patient’s proximity, creating an optimal and comfortable lighting environment for various activities such as reading, resting, or night-time navigation.
Material used
Input: IR Proximity Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: LED Lamp
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR Proximity sensor
The function of IR Proximity Sensor is to detect patient
LED Lamp
LED lamp is used to tun on and off the light when sensor detects the object.
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity 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, IR Proximity sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn on the LED Lamp
Case 2: When no patient is detected, IR Proximity sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the Tinkerspace Brain Board. The brain board turn off the LED Lamp
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect IR PROXIMITY to input 1
Step 2: Connect LED LAMP to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
