Abstract

Using Ultrasonic sensor for detecting the distance and display the value at the LCD screen, while under certain value the Microservomotor rotates 90 degrees. Also, detecting the light by using a Light sensor, which values is being displaying to the LCD screen throw the message ‘dim’ or ‘bright’ light.

Next Steps

In the future, the distance and light sensor detecting system could be connected also to an alarm system, which is being triggered when the distance’s value is too low and light’s too high…
