DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF MICROCONTROLLER BASED SOLAR STREET LIGHT WITH CHARGE LEVEL INDICATOR
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This Project report presents details of the design and construction of a microcontroller based automated intelligent street lighting system. The circuits are designed specifically for self-intelligence and fault detection of the system. The street light system consists of two circuit boards; the main printed circuit boards and the street light pole printed circuit board. The major components of the main printed circuit board are PIC microcontroller, GSM module, voltage translator, multiplexer integrated circuit, resistors, and capacitors, while the major components of the street light pole circuits are the light dependent resistor circuit sensors, infrared sensors, PIC microcontroller, capacitor and resistors. The Light Dependent Resistor is used for Automation, the Infrared sensor is used for Intelligence; sensing movement and taking the LEDs to a full ON state and the GSM module for fault detection. The Printed Circuit Board circuits and their components are housed in its physical framework. The circuit for the main board and the circuit for the street light pole were tested and worked properly as intended.
