LASER Based Gate Keeper

These days many verities of alarm systems are available in the market. Some of them get triggered through touch and some type where a wire needs to broken to get triggered.  Both of these types of alarms have some limitations and problems. Wire based alarms are easily avoidable, noticeable and need some regular maintenance. Touch type alarms often pickup RF waves and get activated (because of that it need some controlled environment to function properly). In this project we design and develop LASER based burglar alarm system. Instead of wire(s) this system use LASER light wave and it can effective for more than 50m. Core features of this alarm system are: High audio output power (Max. 3W PMPO) Master light override switch Inbuilt alarm test functionality Memorized power state Quick response time (aprox. 10ms ~ 30ms) Support for wide input voltage range (15V – 25V DC) Easy to build and calibrate Compact size (aprox. 130 × 200 × 60mm) This alarm system is specifically ...

User Programmable Automatic Night Light

In this project we developed user programmable automatic night light using Microchip's 8bit MCU – PIC12F675. In this design user may be able to program and store the time duration of the master light. Compared with other designs this circuit use transformerless power supply, and TRIAC to control the master light. Complete MCU software source code, operating guides and circuit diagram of this project is available to download at here . To get more information about transformerless power supply please refer the Microchip application note AN954 , and ST application note AN438 for MCU and TRIAC interfacing.
