Data includes 3-axis accelerometer collision data and Front collision crash sensor data.
After each accident, all the data will be automatically sent to the data warehouse and update the database. Also at the same time, system will be able to inform other related persons and companies such as medical emergency services, insurance and car service companies.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

  • ATMEGA UNO 328.
  • Fire sensor
  • Temperature sensor
  • Two Relay shields
  • Ethernet module

DTMF CONTROLLED BOT DIY KIT

OVERVIEW:

The DIY KIT works on the concept of DTMF (dual tone multi frequency) tone command so received from any phone to remotely and control robot movement.

A cell phone is interfaced to a DTMF decoder in the system from its audio output socket for receiving tone commands. The receiving cell phone codes are converted into digital commands by using a DTMF Decoder which will identify the frequency of the key and convert that frequency to its equivalent digital code which is then fed to a microcontroller.

As per the commands sent from the sender’s mobile, the microcontroller will send signals the movement of the robot.

WORKING:


From the above block diagram,
Robot is controlled by a mobile phone which makes a call to the mobile phone attached to the robot. In the course of a call if any button is pressed a tone corresponding to the button presses is heard at the other end of the call. This tone is called DTMF tone. The robot receives this DTMF tone with help of a phone attached in robot. The processing of the tone is done by microcontroller with help of DTMF decoder. The decoder decodes the DTMF tone in to its corresponding binary digits and binary number is sent to the microcontroller. The microcontroller is programmed to take appropriate movement action for a given input. These decisions will be used to driver the motors forward, backward, left and right via l298 motor driver.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

  • DTMF DECODER.
  • BOT. 
  • Jumper wires.
  • 12 DC power supply

CLOUD STARTER KIT

OVERVIEW:


In Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications, the ability to remotely monitor, collect, store and visualize data is paramount. Clients today have the choice to build out their own back-end server system and associated software elements, or look to a cloud-based system where much of the solution has been provided. Which solution is best depends on many factors including core competency, complexity, capital investment, time to market and more. 

Why choose a cloud based system?

Low start-up costs. No capital investment is required. There is no need to purchase hardware servers, software and licenses, and no need to build a secure location or computer room and manage the system. Cloud computing is described as a “pay as you go model,” meaning the system is always right-sized. You pay only for what you use. This is a critical point when first starting out, or for proof of concept. In a cloud solution, deploying a small number of devices for a proof of concept or demonstration does not require a capital expenditure of hardware and software. Also with a cloud solution, you can eliminate extensive software projects to write the data broker and other associated software elements when it is necessary to move data from the device to the servers and enterprise application.

The right cloud-based solution allows you to access any remote device, anywhere, anytime, from any device. Accessing your devices via desktop, someone else’s computer or a smartphone allows for device and location independence.

From the above block diagram, one can control/switch many electrical appliances, as well as remotely monitor temperature sensor, Gas sensor and fire sensor from a remote internet enabled devices like PC /Smartphone.

Automatic Meter Reading DIY KIT

OVERVIEW:

Automatic meter reading, or AMR, is the technology of automatically collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status data from energy metering devices (electric) and transferring that data to a central database for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing. This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter. Another advantage is that billing can be based on near real-time consumption rather than on estimates based on past or predicted consumption. 

WORKING:

From the above block diagram, 
To achieve the instrument of data copying and transmission and other functions GPRS module is used. GPRS is networks for remote communication. They can combine with each other, through the net work’s gateway to achieve a user meter copying to control and transfer in distance.
Automatic Meter Reading system should have the following functions:
  • Timing, location, automatically copies the user's Electricity volume.
  • Low-power, low cost, reliable, safe.
  • To realize the transmission and processing of data in distance.
  • Through internet, updating meter readings and faults to real time data base.
  • Later Data analysis is carried out to present billing information of individual meter reading systems. 
  • Buzzer is turned ON to indicate “ Due bills ” 
  • LCD is provided to display current meter readings and energy consumption.
  • Also billing information will be sent through SMS as well. 

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

  • ATMEGA UNO 328.
  • Two Relay shields
  • GPRS Shield
  • Jumper wires
  • Screw shield.
  • Buzzer
