module and Blynk application, the parking slots can be monitored from anywhere around the world. In this
Tutorial, you will also learn how to use the tabs and led widgets in Blynk application.

The Parking Area is divided into two Parkings.

1. Parking 1
2. Parking 2

Each Parking has 3 Slots and every slot has one infrared sensor. So we have total of 6 infrared sensors.
Each sensor is used to detect the presence of Car in the Slot. These infrared sensors are connected with
the Arduino. So when a Car is parked in the slot, the Arduino sends a command to the Nodemcu esp8266
wifi module, then Nodemcu then sends the command to the Blynk application.

About the IR sensor Module:

11/27/2019 IOT based Car Parking System using Arduino and Nodemcu esp8266

This is the IR sensor which I will be using for the cars detection. As you can see the three male headers
are clearly labeled with the VCC, GND, and OUT. The VCC pin is connected with the Arduino’s 5 volts. The
ground is connected with the Arduion’s ground. While the OUT pin is connected with Arduino’s IO pins.
which I will explain in the circuit diagram. While the black and white leds are the IR leds “one is the Tx while
the other one is the Rx”.

About the Nodemcu ESP8266 WIFI Module:

This is the Nodemcu ESP8266 wifi module, with the help of this module we can monitor the car parking
slots from anywhere around the world. As you can see clearly all the pins are clearly labeled. Never power
up the Nodemcu esp8266 wifi module using the Arduino’s 5 volts. If you power up this module using the

11/27/2019 IOT based Car Parking System using Arduino and Nodemcu esp8266

arduino’s 5 volt then this wifi module we will keep reseting. To solve this problem you can design a
separate power supply of this module using the LM7805 voltage regulator.

Circuit Diagram:

As you can see six infrared sensors are connected with the Arduino pins 4 to 9. The infrared sensor VCC
pins are connected with the Arduino’s 5v. Grounds are connected with the Arduino’s Ground while the out
pins of all the infrared sensors are connected with pin 4 to 9.

The Nodemcu module tx and Rx pins are connected with pin2 and pin3 of the Arduino. while the Vin pin of
the Nodemcu module is connected with the output of the voltage regulator. This is a regulated 5v power
supply based on the lm7805 voltage regulator.

Two 470uf capacitors are connected at the input and output side of the regulator. A 330-ohm resistor is
connected in series with a 2.5v led. This is a current limiting resistor. While J1 is a dc female socket, over
here you can connect a 12v adaptor or battery. But you can also power up the Nodemcu module using your
laptop USB port. I will be using two USB cables, I cable will be used for powering up the arduino and the
other usb cable will be used to power up the nodemcu.

Blynk Application of iot based car parking:

For the android or apple cell phone application designing you will need to download the Blynk application
from the App Store. After you download the Blynk application then you will need to register yourself for free
using Facebook or any other email id. The cell phone application making is explained in the video. The
video is available at the end of this Article.

Programming of iot based car parking:

In this project, two programs are used one for the Arduino and another one for the Nodemcu esp8266 wifi
module.

why you need arduino? NodeMCU has digital IO too.
