Project Name: Automatic Night Light Based on 555 Timer
Project Type: Academic Project
Role: Team Member
Related Organization: Shoolini University
Time Period: July 2023
Project Description
Developed an Automatic Night Light system that uses a 555 Timer IC and an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) to automatically turn on an LED when ambient light levels drop. The system was designed to reduce energy consumption and provide reliable illumination in low-light conditions without human intervention.
Relevant Responsibilities, Contributions, and Achievements
- Designed and implemented the circuit using a 555 Timer in astable mode to control LED illumination based on light intensity.
- Conducted thorough testing to optimize the circuit, adding necessary resistors to prevent LED damage and ensuring reliable operation under varying light conditions.
- Documented the project including circuit diagrams, step-by-step assembly instructions, and testing results, ensuring reproducibility and clear understanding for future reference.
