Aim
The aim of the project is to Automate the opening and closing of blinds based on time or sunlight
Problem statement
The system should offer seamless and programmable control, allowing users to remotely operate curtains for privacy, sunlight control, and energy efficiency. The objective is to design an intelligent and user-friendly solution that enhances the convenience, comfort, and aesthetics of home or office spaces through automated curtain management.
Material used
Input: Light sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Motor Driver and Gear Motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
Light Sensor
The function of the Light sensor is to detect light
Motor Driver + Gear Motor
Motor driver is used to control the motors to rotate either CLOCKWISE or ANTI-CLOCKWISE.
Gear Motor is used to open and close the blinds
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor light sensor and control the motor driver and gear motor
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the light is more, Light sensor turns ON and sends the signal to brain board. The brain board sends the signal to gear motor to rotate clockwise (Blinds opens partially)
Case 2: When the light is less, Light sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to brain board. The brain board sends the signal to gear motor to rotate anti-clockwise (Blinds closes partially)
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect Light Sensor to input 1.
Step 2: Connect MOTOR DRIVER(GEAR MOTOR)to output 3.
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
