FIRE ALERT SYSTEM CIRCUIT

Title:

Fire alert systems for homes, hospitals, other buildings.

Circuit Diagram:
  Component list:
  • 1 Photo interrupter module
  • 2.Speaker  8 ohms 1 w
  • Ic 555
  • Capacitor c1 – 0.04 uf , c2 0.01 uf,  c3 100 uf 25 v
  • Resistor r1 = 470 ohms,r2 = 4.7k, r3 = 1k ,r4 = 47k
  • Variable resistor vr1 1k.
  • Battery 9v.
  • Wires for connection
Description:

This is a simple fire alert project. This project activates alarm when smoke is detected. Here smoke is detected by photo interrupter module (at bottom left of circuit).

The photo interrupter module consists of an LED and a Photo transistor. The light coming from the led falls directly on the photo transistor, this makes the collector terminal to go ground potential and activates the reset control of 555 timer. If there is an interrupt on the path of LED and Photo transistor such as smoke, the light does not reach the photo-transistor, causing the collector voltage approximately equal to supply voltage which is supplied directly to the reset pin of IC 555, which is wired as astable multivibrator. The high voltage at this pin enables the IC and it produce square waves continuously, which in turn drives the speaker through a coupling capacitor.Thus alert sound is generated.

Applications:
This system can be used in places where fire alert is required. Places like homes, hospitals, banks.

TOUCH PLATE BASED DOOR BELL

Title:  Touch plate based door bell  Circuit:  Components: IC 555 Resistors: 1 M, 100k, 330 ohms Transistor: BC547  PN2222A Capacitor: 10n 1 Copper plate : as touch plate. A 6v battery An LED / Ic UM66 Description: This is the simple circuit for touch plate based security system. In this project what basically done is, circuit detects stray voltages produced by mains voltage and electrostatic built  up in the room.If sufficient static voltage is detected by the plate then chip will charge up. Transistor BC 547 or PN2222A is used basically to increase the sensitivity.In place of led just connect IC um 66(melody IC). Applications: In homes, of course. This can be specially used in places like hospitals, when patients need to call doctor by himself.

Interfacing Load Cell with Raspberry Pi 3 (via HX711) ⚖️

Interfacing Load Cell with Raspberry Pi 3 (via HX711) ⚖️ Interfacing Load Cell with Raspberry Pi 3 (via HX711) ⚖️ A load cell is a transducer that converts force (weight) into an electrical signal. The HX711 is a precision 24-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) designed for weigh scales. Today we’ll connect a load cell to Raspberry Pi 3 using the HX711 module. πŸ§ͺ πŸ”§ Components Required Component Quantity Raspberry Pi 3 1 Load Cell 1 HX711 Module 1 Jumper Wires 6 Breadboard (optional) 1 πŸ”Œ Pin Connections HX711 Pin Raspberry Pi Pin Pin Number VCC 5V Pin 2 GND Ground Pin 6 DT GPIO 5 Pin 29 SCK GPIO 6 Pin 31 Figure: Load Cell connected to Raspberry Pi 3 via HX711 πŸ’» Python Code from hx711 import HX711 import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time hx = HX711(dout_pin=5, pd_sck_pin=6) hx.set_reading_format("MSB", "MSB") hx.set_reference_unit(1) hx.reset()...

Interfacing Sound Sensor with Raspberry Pi 3

πŸ”Ή Overview The KY-037 is a high-sensitivity sound detection sensor that can detect noise levels in the environment. It provides both analog and digital outputs. In this tutorial, we’ll interface the digital output of KY-037 with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ (without using an ADC like MCP3008) and detect sound events.
