Child Lock System
System Design
PIR Reference: https://learn.adafruit.com/pir-passive-infrared-proximity-motion-sensor?view=all 1 Once user clicks START on microcontroller, lock dryer 2 Motion sensor will detect living being 3 Dryer will force stop 4 Alerts user (via overriding screen and loud alarm) 5 Automatically open door (electromagnetic lock?) 6 Cool down the dryer 7 Regular cycle: unlock dryer when drying is done
*Emergency stop button on microcontroller *Emergency open button on inside of dryer
Steps to Accomplish
- Build and code alarm ++ https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/onyx/buzzer-alarm-system-with-help-of-arduino-8be82d
- Build and code PIR sensor (several tests expected regarding range/positioning/detection)
- Code cooling of the dryer- keep outlet fan on and open door
- Code lock once start is pressed
- Build the lock system
Test Code
/*
* PIR sensor tester
*/
int ledPin = 13; // choose the pin for the LED
int inputPin = 2; // choose the input pin (for PIR sensor)
int pirState = LOW; // we start, assuming no motion detected
int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output
pinMode(inputPin, INPUT); // declare sensor as input
Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop(){
val = digitalRead(inputPin); // read input value
if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON
if (pirState == LOW) {
// we have just turned on
Serial.println("Motion detected!");
// We only want to print on the output change, not state
pirState = HIGH;
}
} else {
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF
if (pirState == HIGH){
// we have just turned of
Serial.println("Motion ended!");
// We only want to print on the output change, not state
pirState = LOW;
}
}
}
Place this setup at a proper location within the dryer for motion detection.
