Aim
The aim of this project is to design a mirror that adjusts its tilt to optimize reflection based on the incoming sunlight, providing an innovative and functional home decor item
Problem statement
The system should utilize sensors or smart technologies to analyze natural light and optimize the mirror’s reflectivity for enhanced visibility and comfort. Consider challenges such as accurate light sensing, responsive mirror adjustments, and energy-efficient mechanisms. Develop a sunlight-responsive mirror solution that adapts to different lighting scenarios, providing users with an optimal and comfortable reflection experience while potentially contributing to energy conservation in well-lit environments.
Material used
Input: 2 Light Sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Servo Motor
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
2 Light sensor
Servo Motor
Servo motor is used to track the movement of the sun and rotate in a same diraction where sun is detected
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor Light Sensors and control LED LAMP, Servo Motor.
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the light is detected in left, left light sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board oscilates servo motor to 0Degree .
Case 2: When the light is detected in right, right light sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board oscilates servo motor to 180Degree
Case 3: When the light is detected in both sides, both light sensor turns ON and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board oscilates servo motor to 90Degree.
Case 4: When no light is detected in both sides, both light sensor turns OFF and sends the signal to the brain board. The brain board oscilates servo motor to 90Degree .
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Connect LIGHT SENOSOR to input 1 and input 2
Step 2: Connect Servo Motor to output 1
Step 3: Connect supply and test project.
