Curtains Project Report

The document describes an intelligent curtains project that uses an Arduino, motor shield, stepper motor, light dependent resistor (LDR), and other components to automatically open and close curtains based on light intensity. The curtains will open when the Arduino reads an input lower than 235 units from the LDR, indicating daylight, and will close when it reads over 320 units, indicating nighttime. The code controls the stepper motor's direction and speed to open or close the curtains based on the LDR sensor values compared to pre-set light level thresholds.
