Abstract: A newborn chick needs a temperature of 37°C in a first week to ensure healthy condition and required
to decrease the temperature by 2°C per week for the next following weeks. The process continues until week 6th,
which is approximately for 2 months. However, the surrounding's temperature is not constant throughout the day.
Especially at night, where the temperature is colder than during the day and even worse the temperature will drop
significantly if it is raining during the night. This situation adding the difficulty to the farmer to keep the optimize
temperature for the new-born chick the hatch without their mother from the day they were born until grown up.
The advance coop temperature control system equipped with temperature sensor LM315, comparator LM2903 and
cooling and heating system will upper hand the challenge and overcome the problem of instability of the
temperature to increase the chances of the growth of the new-born chick and eventually give the huge profit to the
farmer.

Keywords: Advance Coop, new-born chick, temperature sensor, comparator, cooling and heating system.

INTRODUCTION
Conventionally, the method used to nurse the new-born chicks by keeping them inside a closed place to maintain
the certain temperature to avoid the new-born chick from dying [1]. This old fashion method was done by using a
bulb placed in the coop and kept on for all the time. Although this process provides a heat in the coop, constantly
on the bulb will extremely increase the temperature and due to the overheat sometime will endanger the new-born
chick [2]. The advance coop for the new-born chick is designed to always monitor the temperature inside the coop,
and control it by using cooling and heating system. This will ensure the temperature inside the coop always in the
appropriate and comfortable for the new-born chick[3]. The aim of this project is to make an Advance coop for
new-born chick which help the farmer to raise new-born chick that facing the problem of the death due to the
temperature instability. This is achieved by following objectives:

1. To design and develop an Advance Coop for new-born chick.


2. To develop a simple and low-cost Advance Coop for new-born chick.

METHODOLOGY

Initially, the circuit will be powered up using dc supply and the bulb using ac supply. Then, the temperature sensor,
LM135 will detect the surrounding temperature and measure as an output voltage. The output voltage will connect
to pin 2 of the comparator, LM2903. The comparator will compare the voltage between pin 2 and pin 3, if the
voltage in pin 2 is higher than pin 3, the output of the comparator at pin 1 will be HIGH. At this condition, the
temperature in coop is relatively higher than the setting value the system will turn on the fan to cool off the coop.
If the comparator detects voltage at pin 2 is lower than the voltage at pin 3, the temperature in the coop is in normal
condition, the fan will not be turned on, and the process repeats automatically. Figure 1 shows the flowchart of
Advance coop for new-born chick system operation.

Abstract: The aim of this project is to provide the design of a contactless temperature sensor and sanitizer
dispenser using Arduino. This is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the rate of risk also to reduce the
space usage especially for small places. This automatic hand sanitizer with temperature sensing will be a useful
tool to ensure contactless application.

Keywords: Automatic Hand Sanitizer, Temperature Sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, Arduino.

INTRODUCTION
The global medical community is concerned about the Corona Virus's rapid spread, which has complicated
everyone's lives everywhere. One of the first and most important strategies to stop its spread is to practise better
hand hygiene. However, some hospitals turn to direct observations, reports, questionnaires, the use of sanitizer
dispensers, and other similar ways to monitor the regulatory affairs of the healthcare professionals due to the lack
of automated systems that can monitor hand hygiene compliance. In this project, we make an effort to lessen the
effects of such diseases by promoting good hygiene practises to keep these viruses in check in the household and
community. The pandemic problem can be further combated by employing non-contact thermometers for early
identification of the coronavirus by quickly identifying persons who have a mild to moderate fever. The aim of
this project is to provide the design of a contactless temperature sensor and sanitizer dispenser using Arduino. This
is to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and reduce the rate of risk also to reduce the space usage especially for small
places [1]. This automatic hand sanitizer with temperature sensing will be a useful tool to ensure contactless
application [3-4].

METHODOLOGY
The project’s objective is to develop a device that can automate the process of hand sanitizing by making it
perfectly contactless, as well as measure the temperature of the subject, and detect anomalies, if any. The design
of the prototype aims to reduce the total surface area which will be covered by the module and give the maximum
efficiency possible. The objective of this project is to design an automatic hand sanitizer using ultrasonic as sensor
and Arduino as microcontroller. Furthermore, the circuit also can display the sensed temperature on LCD.

or lower than 15 cm. If the radius is less than 15 cm, the servo motor will be pumped the water from water
container. If the ultrasonic sensor detects the distance user’s hand more than 15 cm, it will automatic looping back
to initial stage. The Temperature sensor will detect user’s body temperature and an LCD will display the
temperature.

CONCLUSIONS
Arduino The automatic hand sanitizer device proposed in this paper is ultimately expected to contribute to
contactless hand disinfection in public places and virus infection prevention. Additionally, it is economical and
eco-friendly by decreasing waste emissions.

Abstract: The aim of this project is to create an Arduino headband detecting system. This project was developed
using four ultrasonic sensors, Arduino Uno, buzzer and a vibrator. The ultrasonic sensors are a device that collects
information from a distance to track specific range from it. Ultrasonic sensor allows detect objects to be scanned
fast and allows for instant identification of a certain range, even when it is surrounded by many different obstacles.
The vibrator will automatically respond when the distance on range. A buzzer is used to alarm user if they are not
responding to the vibrator.

Keywords: Blind People Aid, Obstacle Detection, Ultrasonic Sensor, Arduino.

INTRODUCTION
For some disable people they had face challenging day because of they cannot seeing, or hearing the environment.
There are many technologies nowadays are been used to aid disabilities people especially visually impaired people
such electronics stick, cane, vest and textile structure [1-4]. Commonly, the blind people use a stick to help when
they walk but sometimes the usage of stick has some limitations. This project was inspired by Spiderman's spider
sense ability. That provides some ideas for fusing superpowers with mechanical technology in modern fiction.
This concept will lead the user to believe that they can be more environmentally conscious. As a result, some
incidents, such as hitting something, can be avoided. The Arduino will be used to secure the headband, which will
include an ultrasonic sensor and a vibrator. If the sensor detects an obstruction, the vibrator will move in that
direction.

METHODOLOGY
This project is to design a circuit to detect distance barriers for the blind using an ultrasonic sensor and an Arduino
Uno as control system and to design a circuit that signals (vibrating cover) when detects any obstruction. In this
project, the Arduino is the main components to this project because the Arduino will be set as a microcontroller to
control the entire program. The ultrasonic sensor is used in this project to read the range by generating and
receiving sound waves. If height are be taken more than 200 cm or 2 meter, LED and buzzer will be using in this
project to warn the consumer that the height are taken not precisely and there are some error with this project
placement

Abstract: This research presents the development of an Aquarium Water Quality monitor system via the Internet
of Things (IoT). The purpose of this research is to provide convenience to the users to maintain the aquarium by
notifying them of the (acidity or alkalinity) of the water by using the water pH sensor and cloudiness and clarity
of water by using turbidity sensor. This research uses Arduino Uno as the main microcontroller and ESP8266 as a
WiFi module device to detect water quality and turbidity. The water pH quality will display on the LCD and give
a warning buzzer as for indicator when it needs attention. Hence, this notification will be sent to the user's mobile
phone via the Blynk application if the water pH and turbidity value are not optimum for the fish. The user will be
alerted with a warning buzzer.

Keywords: IoT (internet of things), water pH, water turbidity, Arduino UNO, ESP8266.

INTRODUCTION
Most people live with their pets. Fish can be used as a home ornament, mental therapy, and life companion [1][2].
Fish are popular as pets because their keepers can choose from various varieties and colors [3]. In contrast to other
pets like cats, rabbits, and hamsters, fish require more specialised care because they live in water. If the aquarium
tanks are not set up and maintained correctly, the fish will have an unpleasant and brief existence [4]. Notably,
essential water parameters change very quickly when the tank's water volume is tiny. As a result, it is crucial to
monitor water quality carefully and consistently make water changes in aquarium tanks [2]. The water quality
must be adequate for fish to live in aquariums in good health [5][6]. This system consists of two sensors that will
monitor the water quality in the aquarium: pH sensor and turbidity sensor. A pH sensor is used to measure the
water's acidic or alkalinity, and the turbidity sensor is used to measure the clearness of the water. An Arduino Uno
with a WiFi module (ESP 8266) is used to send the notification to the aquarist if the water is not suitable for the
fish anymore. From that, the aquarium's owner needs to change the water because it will harm fish. Furthermore,
the LCD and the Blynk application display Arduino's sensor values. Also, a buzzer alerts users when the water
needs to be changed.

METHODOLOGY
The flowchart in Figure 1a shows that the pH sensor can measure the acidic or alkalinity of the water in the value
range of 0 to 14. Suppose the water pH is above 6.8 to 7.6, which is the optimum value for freshwater aquarium
fish. In that condition, a notification will be sent to the users via the Blynk application, and the buzzer will be a
warning. Next, the system will measure the clearness and clarity of the water through a turbidity sensor. The range
of the turbidity sensor is only 2.5V to 4.2V. If the reading value is lower than 3.90V, a notification will also send
to the users, and the buzzer also will be a warning. After the users change the aquarium's water, the new value of
pH and turbidity will be displayed both on LCD and in the Blynk application.

Figure 1b shows the schematic diagram of the system using Proteus software of an Arduino Uno microcontroller
connected with a WiFi Module (ESP 8266). A notification will be sent to the mobile phone via the Blynk
application if the water pH and turbidity value are not within range of optimum for the fish. The optimum range
for pH value is 6.0 to 8.0, and the turbidity value is above 3.90V. A buzzer also will be a warning to notify the
users.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION


The hardware component had been successfully built, as shown in Figure 3b, it was tested. All of the results were
as expected, as shown in Table 1. Figure 3a demonstrates how the prototype performs as planned and properly.

After 15 days 6.82 Neutral Clear No No

After 20 days 6.73 Acidic Cloudy Yes Yes

After establishing a connection with the WiFi module (ESP8266), the pH sensor measured the water pH value, so
the water's pH was displayed on LCD as Neutral, Acidic or Alkaline. The clarity of the water in the aquarium is
measured using a turbidity sensor. It will indicate, instead, that the water is clear or cloudy. If the water is acidic,
alkaline, or cloudy, the buzzer will produce a warning, and a notification to the Blynk will be sent to alert the users.
The buzzer stops sounding, and the notification to the Blynk will contain when the water is back to neutral and
clear.

CONCLUSION & FUTURE RECOMMENDATIONS

In conclusion, the development of an Aquarium Water Quality monitor via the Internet of Things (IoT) is
successfully developed. This research has fulfilled the main objective of providing convenience to the users to
maintain the aquarium in good condition by monitoring the water pH and turbidity via mobile phone to ease the
users. In addition, the water quality and turbidity can be measured using Arduino Uno as the main microcontroller
and ESP8266 as a WiFi module device. Finally, in the future, this system can be widely used in a variety of
environmental monitoring such as plant care systems, home security systems and environmental systems using the
Internet of Things.

Abstract: Home automation has grown in popularity in recent years as the rapid advancement of technology has
made day to day life easier. Household requirements and convenience of use must be met by home automation
systems. The system will eventually overcome the energy waste problems caused by human behavior who
regularly forgot to switch off the light or other electrical appliances when left home. In this paper, a system which
interconnecting sensors, microcontroller and blynk application through smartphone for the purpose of home
switching automation is proposed. The system combined IR sensor with Arduino UNO microcontroller to
automate the system. The IR sensor will detect the motion and automatically turn on and off the light and fan.
While the LM 35 temperature sensor will assist to detect the room temperature thus will control the speed of the
fan too. The suggested system was initially simulated using Proteus software in order to fulfill the objectives. The
results show that incorporating the microcontroller with the sensors will significantly improve in terms of energy
saving since the switching is in automation system by detecting the motion around thus will keep the users alert
about the electrical usage through smartphone.

Keywords: Automatic switch, Arduino UNO, Home system.

INTRODUCTION
Lighting automation system has become an unquestionable necessity in both residential and industrial sceneries.
This scenario improved resulting in advancement of wireless communication technology. In hectic daily life,
normal people tend to forget to switch off the light or other electrical equipment when not in use especially when
left home. To overcome this issue, an automation light switch system can be used to replace of traditional switching
system. In this project, the IR sensor will detect the motion and send a signal through Blynk application which
interface via smartphone to turn on the switch of the light and fan. Prashant Kumar et al published a paper on IOT
based automatic street light control and fault detection. The project aims to provide automatic street light control
and defect detection. By using the LDR sensor, the lights are turned on and off automatically based on the intensity
of daylight. The system checks for a street light problem and, using the GSM module, sends an alert message to
the approved mobile number [1]. Yusi Cheng et al combined passive infrared (PIR) sensors and microwave
Doppler sensors, an ambient light sensor, and lighting control rules to produce smart lighting system based on
distributed wireless sensor networks [2]. Paniti Netinant et al developed the automated light system in a smart
home using the Internet of things and Mosquitto server for elderly and disabled people [3]. N. Yashaswini et al.
Automatic Street developed light control by detecting vehicle movement used photo diodes and IR sensors to sense
vehicle moments, while LED lights are employed for street lighting [4].

METHODOLOGY
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of Automatic Light Switch Based on Arduino Uno Microcontroller for Home
System. For this project, a motion sensor is the main sensor that operates in this system. In addition, besides
detecting the movement, it also includes a temperature sensor in the system for the fan to control its speed
automatically when it detects the surrounding temperature. The most important part is, it is applied in the system
as the user can be more alert about the electric use in the house since it can be monitored through the smartphone
by using the Blynk application.

Abstract: This project aims to create an animal detector designed for home gardens. Its primary goal is to establish
an early warning system that can alert users to the presence of animals in close proximity to their garden and
simultaneously chase the animal away from the garden. This project's development involves three key components:
a detection device, a microcontroller device, and notification devices. The detection device employed is the Passive
Infra-Red Sensor (PIR), while the microcontroller device used is Arduino. In terms of notifications, the project
utilizes beacon lights and buzzers. When the PIR sensor detects any movement near the garden, the Arduino
microcontroller will activate the beacon light and buzzer.

Keywords: Animal detector, PIR sensor, Arduino, garden application, home application,

INTRODUCTION
Wild creatures encroaching into human territory is not unusual, especially in rural areas. Given the availability of
natural surroundings in rural locations, it is logical to anticipate animals living there. As a result, wild animals may
occasionally enter human-occupied areas in search of food or to explore new territory. While this may be of interest
to the animals, it is often an undesirable situation for humans who have established farms or gardens for their own
benefit. Constant monitoring of these agricultural areas is not feasible due to the unavailability of humans at all
times. Therefore, it becomes necessary to employ a solution capable of effectively deterring any wild animals from
entering our designated space.

The system incorporates a PIR motion sensor to detect any movement by wild animals entering the farmland. This
sensor is well recognized as one of the most often used motion detection sensors due to its low cost and good
detecting capabilities [1-4]. Using the buzzer and beacon lights as output, the system emits blinking lights coupled
with a loud noise to effectively scare the animals away from the farms. The use of dual output is critical since the
lights may not be clearly visible during daylight hours, and the buzzer serves the added goal of notifying the
farmland owner of the ongoing trespassing occurrence. As a result, the farmland owner can respond quickly and
take appropriate action based on the circumstances developing on their property.

METHODOLOGY
This work contains two phases which are software development and prototype development:

Software Development

During this phase, the focus is on developing the Arduino code that establishes the connection between the input
and output functionalities of the project. Subsequently, testing is conducted in a virtual hardware environment
called Proteus. This virtual hardware setup allows for the identification and rectification of any errors before the
actual installation of the hardware.

Prototype Development

During this phase, the assembly of all the devices takes place. The devices and components are securely mounted
on the printed circuit board (PCB). This assembly process includes attaching, drilling, and soldering the various
components onto the PCB. Prior to the installation of the prototype in the designated area, a final troubleshooting
session is conducted to identify and address any potential issues or malfunctions.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION


The system utilizes an Arduino UNO board as its core component. Acting as an input, the PIR motion sensor
detects motion within the designated area and transmits a signal to the core system when activated. Subsequently,
the core system activates the output components, namely the buzzer and red beacon lights. These output devices
continuously emit loud sounds and bright flashes, effectively scaring away any wild animals trespassing in the
farm area. Additionally, the buzzer and red beacon lights serve to draw the attention of the farm owner, prompting
them to inspect the area and potentially drive away the animals. If the PIR motion sensor no longer detects any
movement, the buzzer and lights automatically turn off within a time frame of 3-5 seconds. This fully automated
system operates independently, eliminating the need for human intervention, which proves advantageous for farm
owners who may not be present to monitor their property. The prototype of the project is depicted in Figure 1.

Figure 1: Prototype of the system

CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the project successfully developed an animal detection system for home-garden applications. The
system aimed to provide an early warning system, notifying users of any animal presence near their garden. By
utilizing a Passive Infra-Red Sensor (PIR) as the detection device and Arduino as the microcontroller, the system
effectively detected animal movements and triggered the output devices, including beacon lights and a buzzer, to
scare away the animals. The integration of dual output devices ensured visibility during both day and night. The
system's automated nature eliminated the need for constant human supervision, allowing the farm owners to take
prompt action when alerted. Through the prototyping process, which involved hardware assembly, Arduino coding,
virtual testing, and real-world implementation, the project successfully demonstrated the feasibility and
functionality of the system. The developed prototype can serve as a reliable and cost-effective solution for
safeguarding farmland and protecting crops from wildlife intrusion.

Abstract: With the rising number of vehicles and a lack of sufficient parking infrastructure, urban areas are
grappling with the pressing issue of difficulty finding suitable parking spaces. The limitation of parking space for
students is an issue that needs to be managed to improve parking efficiency. To address this issue and enhance the
parking experience, this project aims to develop a multilevel parking system incorporating advanced technologies.
The proposed multilevel parking system utilizes an Arduino UNO microcontroller, in conjunction with a DC motor,
a liquid-crystal display (LCD), and a 4x4 matrix keypad. By leveraging these components, the system enables
efficient and automated parking management. The DC motor is responsible for the rotational movement of the
parking platforms within the multilevel parking prototype, while the LCD displays the real-time process, providing
users with clear feedback and guidance. This automated multilevel parking system serves as an innovative solution
to alleviate the shortage of parking spaces by doubling the vehicle storage capacity through vertical stacking.

Keywords: Multilevel parking system, Arduino UNO.

INTRODUCTION
The car parking system in Malaysia varies depending on the location and establishment. In major cities like Kuala
Lumpur, parking facilities are commonly available in commercial areas, shopping malls, residential complexes,
and public spaces. Despite advancements in parking technology, certain challenges persist. Limited parking spaces,
especially in densely populated areas, continue to be a common issue. In addition, traffic congestion within parking
lots, inadequate signage, and insufficient guidance systems can make parking a time-consuming and frustrating
experience. Furthermore, statistics show that by the end of 2021, the total number of registered vehicles in
Malaysia had reached 17,728,482 units [1]. Uno et al. implemented a smart parking system using Arduino,
Matlab/Simulink, and fuzzy logic [2]. Subaselvi et al. developed a smart automobile parking system that utilizes
the Internet of Things (IoT) to simplify and enhance the parking experience, eliminating the need for time-
consuming searches for parking spaces [3]. Patil et al. propose an automatic real-time car parking system
implemented using IoT technology, leveraging the Arduino UNO and Node MCU for seamless communication
and control of parking spaces [4]. Therefore, this project proposes an automated multilevel parking system
employing a 4x4 matrix keypad, an Arduino Uno, a DC motor, and a liquid-crystal display (LCD).

METHODOLOGY
Figure 1 depicts the block diagram of the automated multilevel parking system. In this project, the Arduino UNO
operates based on the input received from the keypad. The LCD screen displays a prompt message to the driver,
requesting input via the keypad. As a result, the system outputs the rotation of the parking platform.

RESULT AND DISCUSSION


Initially, the LCD will show "Welcome. Please Enter Your Plate Number." When the user enters the car plate
number using the keypad, it will command the Arduino UNO to rotate the available platform to the bottom using
the motor, while the LCD displays "Please wait." Once the platform reaches the bottom, the car can be parked on
it. The LCD will display the selected platform and keep track of the number of cars that have entered the system.
Additionally, the LCD will display the assigned parking number for the user to easily locate their car. The parking
system's schematic diagram is shown in Figure 2, and the prototype is shown in Figure 3.

Abstract: This project uses an Arduino as a microcontroller to provide an automatic medication reminder. This
project will assist users in monitoring their drug regimen and preventing missed doses. People who have to take
several drugs at different times or have trouble remembering to take their meds may benefit the most from it. The
user can receive reminders to take their prescription at the proper time and location by setting up reminders. The
input and output for this medication reminder are controlled by the Arduino, which serves as the controller.
Utilising a piezoelectric buzzer as the primary component and a Real-Time Clock (RTC), an integrated circuit that
measures time, the device will alert the user by sounding a warning and displaying a message on an LCD for them
to realise what medication to take. By utilising the button to set the time, users of this medicine reminder are able
to set an alarm.

Keywords: Arduino, piezoelectric buzzer, medication reminder

INTRODUCTION
People in contemporary culture are frequently preoccupied with their everyday activities [1]. In fact, they prioritise
their employment before caring for their health. For older adults, maintaining a daily pharmaceutical regimen
becomes exceedingly challenging. The same issue can occasionally affect younger people. Whether they are older
folks, children, or others, many family members require ongoing assistance [2]. However, it is not always easy for
us to constantly remind them of their medication quantities. However, we can't always be there to constantly
remind them to take their medication as directed. This automated medication reminder system is also intended to
support older adults in maintaining their independence by reminding them to take their medications on schedule.
It has been noted that most people disregard their health and would rather do other things than take their
medications. They neglect to take their prescriptions on time for the same reason [3]. The growing use of patient
reminders can considerably improve the management of chronic illnesses and delivery of medical services to
people who need them, as many health maintenance organisations, health professionals, and medical researchers
have realised [4]. The patient medication reminder system is now being used by a number of organisations in the
healthcare industry.

METHODOLOGY
Figure 1 depicts the block diagram of the automatic medicine reminder. The Real time clock (RTC) and pushbutton
module function as input devices. The RTC, DS1307 RTC is connected with the I2C bus of microcontroller in the
circuit diagram it is an integrated circuit that keeps track of time. It uses a back-up battery to maintain the time in
the event that the main power source is removed. The microcontroller read the information of time, date and day
from an RTC. For the pushbuttons, this project used four pushbuttons, first button used for setting time and date,
the second button used for increment the number of dates, hour and minutes which needs to set and third button is
for decrement to set the day, hour and minutes while fourth button is used to set an alarm. The microcontroller
then communicates with various output devices, which include a piezoelectric buzzer, LCD and LED.

CONCLUSIONS
In conclusion, the creation of an automatic medication reminder has been successful. The major goals of this
project were achieved, and the automatic medication reminder system is a practical tool that can assist people in
keeping track of their medications and preventing missed doses. People who need to take many drugs at various
times or who have trouble remembering to take their meds may find it very beneficial. The Arduino-based
medication reminder is easy to use, reasonably priced, and more accurate. An integrated circuit used in the circuit
diagram to keep track of time is the RTC microcontroller. The pushbuttons are effectively functioning as the circuit
indicated, and the output is visible on the LCD screen. Patients can receive reminders to take their medications at
the proper time and location by setting up reminders. This may enhance medication compliance and ultimately
result in greater health.

Abstract: The COVID pandemic has had an impact on human life in many different ways. There have been several
attempts to stop the virus from spreading, including working from home, avoiding social situations, and practising
hand hygiene. Most hand sanitizers on the market right now don't operate automatically. The goal of this essay is
to create a hand sanitizer that can automatically release soap and water. The hand sanitizer dispenser, which is
typically a manual dispenser, is the project's research challenge. For hygiene purpose, automatic dispenser is
needed. The method used to achieve the objectives of this project is by using the Arduino Uno R3. The system is
implemented by using Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that runs on your computer, used to write and
upload computer code to the physical board. Other than that, IR sensor is used to detect the presence of human
nearby.

Keywords: Automatic; Sanitizer, Arduino

INTRODUCTION
Hygiene is an important aspect of staying healthy. Hygiene has many facets. Clean hands are part of that. Hands
commonly touch a variety of surfaces and can be directly exposed to contamination. Regular hand washing is
recommended by various health organizations, including WHO [1]. [5] stated that the demand of hand sanitizer is
increasing due to many viruses spreading all around the world. Without the automatic hand sanitizer, virus easily
contagious each other with touch the pump frequently. Hand hygiene is now recognized as one of the most
important components of infection control measures. The main objectives of this research are: to produce hand
sanitizer without touching and to detect whether hand sanitizer is still available or needs to be refilled.

METHODOLOGY

Figure 1: Block diagram

The scope of this project is summarized in Figure 1. This project begins, when user put hand at the infrared sensor.
Infrared sensor will be triggered by the motion less or equal to five centimetres, then servo motor will turn round
and pump out the sanitizer. If servo does not turn around it means user’s hand is not close to the infrared sensor.
Next, ultrasonic sensor works when detected water. When the water is less than nine centimetres from the sensor,
the green LED lit up, if the water is more than nine centimetres so red LED will light up. The function of LED is
to remind the user to top up the hand sanitiser.
