Concept This project aims to represent smart door locking system, using RFID control and a Servo motor. Process As the first step, RFID was connected to Arduino uno board through the breadboard, Added MFRC522 Library to Arduino and used Dumpinfo example from this library to detect the card’s UID. In next step, Buzzer and two … Read more
Using the SONAR sensor as the main detector . But the default range of the sensor is too small (15 degrees only), so adding a SERVO which controls by a JOYSTICK can allow the system to have more coverage area. If something (enemy) is approaching a certain distance, the SONAR sensor will turn on a … Read more
Abstract The concept behind this simple prototype is to monitor the level of soil moisture, making use of a sensor to be inserted into the soil that will then monitor it. In the situation where the hydration is poor an input will be sent to a buzzer, which will produce an acustic signal, highlighting the … Read more
Concept: Working principal of water level sensor: The working principle of the water level sensor is that when it is put into a certain depth in the liquid to be measured, the pressure on the sensor’s front surface is converted into the liquid level height. COMPONENTS REQUIRED: Schematic diagram: Code: Setup:
UltraSonic and Servo Object detection and sorting CONCEPT Detection of position of objects and using information for sorting using crane mechanism. WORKING OF MECHANISM Servo moves the ultrasonic sensor to detect objects the information is used to control the arms of the crane using the Analog joysticks to move the arms and reach the objects … Read more
Concept The project’s goal is to create a tensile shaded seating arrangement in which the tensile member bends to provide shade below depending on whether someone is seated there and whether it is day or night. Workflow A cable that is being tugged by a servo motor causes the tensile member to bend. And two … Read more
Sunfollower is a project inspired by the movement of sunflowers. Solar panels are normally positioned towards the cardinal point with the greatest solar incidence, but throughout the day a lot of energy is lost by this fixed positioning. The idea is to create a public installation, a mixture of a public lamppost, with benches where … Read more
Abstract The concept of the project analyzed lays in its two main facades: made out of bricks, these show two variations of rotation. The first one takes into account some external curves that act as attractors, the other by rotating the bricks alternately by 45°. Building Overview This office building is placed in a residential … Read more
Concept Creating a circuit based on operating principle of distance detection and on the usage and applications of ultrasonic sensors in PAS (parking assist) applications. Workflow Using an ultrasonic sensor as in input which measures the distance to obstacles (walls, etc.) and reports their proximity to the driver. PAS basic operation Pulse signals are transmitted, … Read more
Concept: Interactive LEDs is a prototype for a wall that utilizes Ultrasonic sensors and Sound modules from Arduino to create a responsive light installation that allows individuals to interact and engage with it. Sound modules constantly check for any type of sound variation and as soon as an individual make one near the wall, ultrasonic … Read more
CONCEPT The concept of the project was to create a system that detects solar radiation throughout the day and adjusts the facade angle accordingly to keep the internal area of the building cool and shaded using a Photoresistor. Also, at the same time to prevent the rainwater from coming inside the building using a water … Read more
CONCEPT Better safe than sorry! This is the key sentence behind this project. The intention was to create a fire alarm system to protect spaces. That space can be somewhere in your house, like your bedroom or living room, but can also be used in closed/dark spaces, like the basement or installation room. But why … Read more
Introduction to Programming and Physical Computing Concept The concept described in this project report is aimed to detect the alcohol Level. When this system is installed in the dashboard and detects alcohol through the alcohol sensor, the simulated actuators presented here with a LED, which will be bright up while a LCD and will show … Read more
Re-thinking ‘Serpentine Pavilion 2017 ‘ as a Media Pavilion that represents an idea of new communication. As a part of the task original pavilion was deconstructed into three main architectural elements: structure, roof and envelope. Each student in the group had to pick one element to re-design it and create a code. Design Analysis Elements … Read more
Design Analysis & Concept As the project brief required to reimagine the Serpentine Pavilion by Francis Kere, built in 2017 at the Serpentine Gallery in London, UK, the pavilion was deconstructed and analyzed into 3 of its major elements; the roof, the roof structure and the envelope. The main idea for the reimagination of the … Read more
