To familiarize trainees with programming microcontrollers for controlling home appliances such as lights and fans. 4. To promote problem-solving abilities through troubleshooting hardware and software interfaces. 5. To enhance knowledge of sensors and actuators integration for real-time system control. 6. To introduce communication protocols commonly used in embedded systems like UART or I2C. 7. To develop documentation habits including system design, coding standards, and user manuals to prepare students for professional environments. 8. To encourage teamwork and project management through collaborative work and task delegation among trainees.
Research and study the basics of embedded systems and microcontroller architecture relevant to home automation. 2. Design circuit diagrams for controlling at least two home appliances using a microcontroller (e.g., Arduino or PIC). 3. Write and test the software code to operate appliances via inputs such as switches or sensors. 4. Assemble and wire the electronic components on a breadboard or PCB for prototype development. 5. Integrate sensors (like temperature or motion sensors) and actuators (like relays) into the system for automated control. 6. Troubleshoot any hardware and software issues that arise during assembly and testing phases. 7. Document the entire development process including circuit diagrams, source code, and testing results. 8. Present the working prototype and demonstration to peers and instructors, highlighting functionality and system design.
