Implementation of E-voting Machine Project using Python and Arduino

INTRODUCTION

Our E-voting Machine project is very useful, This Project was implemented using Python and Arduino. The user is no longer required to check his register in search of records, after the voting procedure gets over, the admin will be able to calculate the total number of votes in just one click since the entire work is done using computers. The user just needs to enter his/her unique voter ID.

In today’s world, no one likes to manually analyze the result after the voting procedure gets over because the process is time-consuming and of which results get usually delayed. Everyone wants his/her work to be done by computer automatically and displaying the result for further manipulations. So this E-voting Machine project is about providing convenience regarding voting.

Accident Avoidance Using IBS and AOCS Major Project

Accidents are increasing at a higher pace and are most common if driving is inadequate. Driver drowsiness is considered an important factor in vehicle accidents, Over Speed can also be considered as another important factor for vehicle accidents.

The main objective of this project is to develop a system for automatic speed control and accident avoidance using eye blink and ultrasonic sensors to keep vehicle secure.

It includes an intelligent braking system in which, whenever any obstacle comes in front of a running vehicle the ultrasonic sensor detects the obstacle at a distance of 4m away from it and sends a signal to embedded board or microcontroller.

And if the driver is drowsy or about to sleep, then the eye blink sensor detects the eye blink and if eyes are closed for more than 30 seconds, the vehicle stops automatically.

Apart from these, the safety of the vehicle can also be ensured by introducing A.O.C.S (Automatic Over Speed Control System). It basically controls the speed of the vehicle by continuously checking it through sensors which sends the signal to the microcontroller.

Whenever the speed is increased above the predefined critical speed, the microcontroller through its logical circuits sends the signals to the actuators via its output pins. The actuators apply necessary force on the brakes and reduce the speed to its safe value.

The sensor used in this system is an optical type infrared sensor and the actuators are stepper motors to which the output of the microcontroller is connected.

Temperature Monitoring Multi Bedded Hospital

ABSTRACT

This is a PC based temperature monitoring System using Zigbee communication. In this Temperature Monitoring Multi Bedded Hospital project, four temperature sensors in multiplexing mode are connected to the Atmega16 microcontroller which has eight channel in built ADC.

The temperature values of all the sensors are sent serially by the Atmega16 micro controller through Max 232 to the ZigBee trans-receiver module which then transmits this data wirelessly. The control room has another ZigBee module to receive this data which is connected to the communication port of the PC.

A Software “DAQ System” loaded on the PC takes these values and show them on its front panel, and also logs them to the data base “daq.mdb” One can set by the interactive way some parameters like set point i.e. the high limit on the computer screen. High limit and low limits are for alarm. When the temperature goes above high limit the alarm will be turned on.

The Temperature Monitoring application consists of microcontroller Atmega16, the temperature sensor (LM335), Current Driver ULN 2003 and Max232 for the serial interface. The on chip firmware controls reading of the ADC converter, receives commands from PC and sends the reading to PC.

We use the LM335 temperature sensor. The chip produces an output signal that is proportional to the Celsius temperature scale.

Online Handwriting Recognition using Motion Sensor based Pen Device

With the advances in current technology, we see a rapid increase in availability, but also a demand for intuitive interaction between man and computer. While recognizing has been developed graphically based on the vision, it has some limitations, such as running a camera in one place, with the advantage of using motion sensors to develop a portable device.

Combining the rapid development of man-computer technology and the growth of portable devices, a handheld device integrated with motion sensors has been proposed to recognize handwriting by capturing interaction writing paths.

The goal of this Handwriting Recognition project is to develop a portable pen movement base for the online reorganization of letters or handwritten sensor numbers. Users can use this pen to write letters or numbers in the air.

Signs generated by hand movements are generated by in-device and transmitted to the PC for processing and additional signal recognition via a wireless motion sensor module. A handwriting recognition algorithm will be developed for recognition signals using measured by the sensor.

A portable device will be developed base pen with motion sensors (triassic accelerometer, compass and gyroscope), a microcontroller and a wireless transceiver. This pen-based motion sensor can be used to enter numbers or letters in a free space at normal speed.

The sensors are used to detect hand movements. The microcontroller collects the hand motion sensors and wireless transmitters signals in the main PC processor for processing and recognizing the additional signal via a wireless transceiver.

A Handwrite Algorithm (DTW) recognition is implemented to perform handwriting recognition using the signals detected by the integrated sensors in the device.

Bus Tracking System using GSM Module Project

Bus Tracking System:

Using  GSM Module and Microcontroller we are designing and implementing a time saving system for daily BUS commuters, which will give the information about the present position of BUS whenever subscribed by the subscriber for a particular BUS, which will have its unique code.

Scope of the Project:

  • Bus Tracking System can be implemented in government, company, college & private buses.
  • Can also be implemented using GPS system.
  • Ring can be developed for blind people to get the status of bus.

Brief Description:

In the Bus Tracking System project, an IR transmitter is placed in bus & IR RECEIVER unit is placed at bus stop. Whenever bus reaches bus stop our unit comes to know which bus has been arrived. The transmitter present in the bus transmits a certain code using RC5 protocol. Carrier frequency for RC5 protocol is 36 kHz.

IR receiver which is present on bus-stop detects the IR signals and gives the coded data to the microcontroller for decoding purpose.  Microcontroller is controlling block of the system. After decoding this code, which bus has arrived is decided.   The acknowledgement is given to the system user through SMS. This SMS is send whenever bus is arrived.  The subscriber numbers to whom the message has to be send is stored in the EEPROM, which is the memory element used over here.

The 89s52 microcontroller communicates with EEPROM using I2C protocol. Whenever a message is to send to the subscriber for the subscribed bus controller  fetches those subscribed numbers & then send the message through GSM module. Microcontroller and GSM module are interfaced through MAX 232. . MAX232 is a device which converts TTL voltage logic levels to RS232 & vice versa.

The GSM module sends SMS to the subscriber which is mentioned in EEPROM through AT commands.  AT commands are used to send SMS from GSM module. LCD is used to display which bus has arrived.
