detected by the photodiode. A signal is sent to the controller
which consequently drives the water pump.

IR Sensor
An infrared sensor is an electronic device that emits in order Fig -4: Coin Sensor
to sense an object in its path.IR sensor is the combination of Water pump
IR LED and an IR photodiode.IR LED is the emitter and the
photodiode is the detecter.IR photodiode is sensitive to IR Pumping of water is done by a device called DC submersible
light of same wavelength as emitted by the IR LED.IR sensor water pump. It moves water by mechanical action. Rotary or
