WHY THIS PROJECT?

Our farmers are DYING !!

The main occupation in our country that contributes to the economy is

agriculture. We need to support of our farmers both economically and resource
them with modern technology.

In the current scenario of our country, the life of farmers in the villages is
miserable due to the uncertainty of power supply.

 Especially in southern India where the main source of

farmers is agriculture and that is dependent on the power
supply which is uncertain due to the irregular monsoon
rainfall.
Hence, we as engineers need to devise technology that is useful for
real time applications and is also of some use to the society.
So we would design a motor, whose operation/running time can be
given as input by the keypad and the motor operates for that time.
Even in the event of power failure it records the time and resumes it
at the supply of power.

COMPONENTS LIST

Arduino Mega
Solar Panel
Triac Sheild
7808 IC
Hex Keypad
Serial Keyboard
LCD Output

Arduino Mega
It consists of 54 digital pins and 16 analog pins and is
capable of multiple channel communication.
It uses an ATMEGA 2560 chip as an IC.
It is the next version of Arduino UNO

SOLAR PANEL
Here we use a 10W solar panel with the following specifications
Voc = 21V
I scmax = 0.59A

This solar panel is included in the project since, an RTC shield is not
being used here and this panel provides an input to power up the
Arduino mega.

TRIAC SHIELD
It is used to control the AC power supply.
It essentially consists of two thyristors connected in anti-parallel
direction.

7808 IC
7808 IC is an Ic which belongs to the family of 780x series.
It is used essentially as a voltage regulator, which gives a constant
8v output.
The pin diagram of 7808 is as follows.
We use this to step down to the voltage to 8 volts, to provide input
and power up the Arduino mega.

Sequential Working
The solar panel is used to give an input to the
Arduino mega.
The Arduino prompts the user and asks him to give
the input.
After giving the inputs, the Arduino starts and works
as a countdown timer and switches the load on
(pulse up the triac shield) and upon completion of
the time; it switches off the load and resets itself for
the next cycle.

 It can also be used for Industrial applications by connecting it with a

computer and giving input by the Serial keyboard.
The programs for both the applications have been embodied in the
documentation.

Applications
This product is readily usable in places where a time automation is
essential , for example
Agriculture as discussed above
Industrial :
The application in this field accounts for
1. Automating a boiler for the predefined time.
2. Moving a conveyor for a predefined time.
3. Applications which require time automation.
