We have made a smoke detector which will sound an alarm whenever there's a threat of fire in your property, allowing people to call the fire department and ensure everyone gets out safely. With a smoke detector, people can respond promptly whenever there’s a fire outbreak and put it off before it gets out of control and one of its major property is that it is
Round-The-Clock Monitoring that is smoke detectors provide 24/7 protection no matter where.
We had a big challenge when we wanted to connect our arduino to the code written in our computer.We needed to connect the arduino to code through a USB cable but we were unable to do so as the computer was not able to detect the cable but we changed many cables for it and at last our computer detected it.We also faced problem while making connections using jumper wires as all the connections were very minute to detect,so it took good number of hours for us to understand and do the connection.Arduino itself is a open hardware which is used to built devices that can interact with real world,so we devoted good number of hours to understand arduino before doing all the conections as arduino is the base to the project
Tracks Applied (2)
Technologies used
we used arduino that contains ADC that is analog-to-digital-converter
which converts analog values to respective digital values
we also used MQ2 gas sensor for sensing the smoke produced
we also used buzzers and LED's
buzzers beeps when smoke gets detected and Led glows to red when it detects smoke
we also used jumper wires to join our connections
