Street Lights Automation | How to Use LDR With Arduino

  


Introduction:

At some point in our lives, we have wondered how the Street Lights work? Is there a person controlling these lights? Is it timed according to the duration of the day?

All of this happens with the help of an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). In this article, we will be making a project to automate street lights with LDR. So read the article till the end.  


Required Components:

To make the project you need the following components:

1.      Arduino Circuit Board

2.      LDR (Light Dependent Resistor)

3.      5 ✕ LEDs

4.      5 ✕ 220Ω Resistors

5.      1 ✕ 10k Ω Resistor

6.      Breadboard

7.      Jumper Wires


Circuit Diagram:

Follow this circuit diagram to patch the circuit.


1.      Digital Pin 4 → Positive End of LEDs

2.      Ground → Negative End of LEDs

3.      Arduino 3.3V Terminal → One End of LDR

4.      Arduino A0 Pin → Other End of LDR, that has connected to 10k Ω Resistor

5.      Ground → Other Terminal of 10k Ω Resistor


Project Code:

How To Make Line Follower Using Three IR Sensor | Arduino Line Following Car

Image
Line Follower Cars are autonomous cars that follow a given route. We have already learned to make a Line Following Car using 2 IR sensors to follow easy tracks . Today we'll make a Line following car using Arduino and 3 IR sensors , that will precisely follow a black line over a white surface , take sharp 90 degree turns and easily follow high curvature curves . Before moving ahead, make sure you understand the Working Mechanism of IR Sensor and learn how to make 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot . This project is an upgrade of 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot.  Hardware Setup Components Required: Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N Car Chassis (Car Frame | 2 x DC gear Motor | 2 x Tires) Jumper Cables 3 x IR Sensor  Car Assembly: The first step is to assemble the car chassis. To learn more about assembly, refer to this article:  Assemble Car Chassis . For visual demonstration refer to this video:  Assemble Car Chassis . Circuit Diagram: Software Setup Arduino needs to be...

How To Make Line Follower Car with Speed Control | 6 IR Sensor Arduino Line Following Car

Image
It's easy to make a robot that follows a line or smooth curves, but it becomes challenging to design the line follower robot when its track is complex. But we got you covered. Using 6 sensors and speed control of our car, we'll design our fast and advanced line following robot.  Before starting on this advanced project make sure you understand How Does An IR Sensor Works  and have tried making 2 Sensor Line Follower or 3 Sensor Line Follower . Hardware Setup Components Required Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N 6 x IR Sensors (1 x TCRT5000 & 1 x HX-01) Car Chassis (Base & Motors & Wheel & Caster Wheel) 12V Battery Pack Jumper Cables Car Chassis Assembly Circuit Diagram Note: For speed control remove the tiny black jumper covering ENA and ENB pins on L298N. Make sure they are covered when not using the speed control, else project may not work. Software Setup Reading Analog Values of IR Sensor In our previous projects, we read digital values from IR Sensor - 0 for...
