Week 4 FYP 2 : Design the Flowchart


  • Flowchart for Arduino




Details on the component
Arduino Dueminalove

  • Arduino can sense the environment by receiving an input from a variety of sensors and can affect its surroundings by controlling lights, motors and other actuators.

Servo Motor                      
  • The nature of Servo motor which allow user to control its rotation angle
  • In this project, the servo motor will attached to the car's headlight in order to rotate the car headlight to a desired angle. 
  • The servo motor as an output



  •  It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tilt-sensing applications, as well as dynamic acceleration resulting from motion
  • In this project, the accelerometer use as a motion sensor which it will attached to the car steering.
  • The accelerometer as an input.

Week 1 FYP 2 : Assign the circuit



Automatic Headlight Dimmer


  • Automatically switch from high to low beam when traffic approach to save others sight
  • With Q1 in moderate darkness the variable resistor must be adjusted to generate no base current through Q2 
  • This system is triggered by headlights from other car 
  • The high-beam lights on when there is no approaching headlights 
  • Headlights will be switched to low beams when the phototransisor receives lights from other car coming from the opposite direction



Automatic Light Controller


  • During night time, when no light falls on LDR1, it offers a high resistance at the base junction of transistor T1
  • So the bias is greatly reduced and T1 doesn’t conduct 
  • Effectively, this removes the common terminal of IC1 from ground and it directs the full input DC to the output 
  • Transistor T2 conducts and the relay energises to light up the bulb as mains connection completes through the relay contacts
