66. Automatic faucet (Touchless) using Arduino - Wash hands and stay safe during COVID-19 crisis

Hey friends!

I hope you are all doing well and staying safe now. In this post, I will be explaining you about my prototype which I designed to wash hands safely. I made this project with limited resources. Those who are interested can remake this project, and if you like you can make some improvements too. The codes can be found in the Coding  section of this page. I did not have a solenoid water valve with me, so I had to use the submersible water pump to demonstrate my project.
By having an automatic faucet, you do not have to touch the surface of the faucet after you wash your hands; you can wash your hands safely and prevent coronavirus disease.

Hardware components used in this project

  • Arduino Nano
  • Solderless Breadboard - Half +
  • Ultrasonic sensor
  • Relay module - 5V single channel
  • Submersible water pump (5V) / solenoid water valve (12V)
  • Regulated power supply (optional) - compulsory if solenoid water valve is used
  • Jumper wires

Connections

Ultrasonic sensor

  • Trig - D5
  • Echo - D4
  • VCC - 5V
  • GND - Ground

Relay module - 5V single channel

  • S - D6
  • (+) - 5V
  • (-) - Ground 

How it works


I have programmed my Arduino microcontroller to switch on the relay module when the ultrasonic sensor detects my hand within 10 cm.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to comment below.

Codes

I have programmed my Arduino microcontroller to switch on the relay module when the ultrasonic sensor detects my hand within 10cm. The submersible water pump is switched on along with the relay module and begins to pump water through the tube connected to it. The tube is led out of the plastic container and acts as a faucet.

85. Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino

 Hey everyone, Sorry I have not posted in a while. Today, I will be presenting you my Analog and Digital Clock on Adafruit TFT Display using Arduino. You can find the schematic and code explanation within this post. Read on further to learn how I did this project. Hardware components used in this project Arduino Mega 2560 Adafruit 2.8" TFT Touch Shield for Arduino w/ Capacitive Touch - You could also use any other Arduino compatible TFT display DS1307 RTC Module Solderless Breadboard - Half+ (This is optional if you are connecting the RTC module to the development board directly) Jumper wires (x4) - Male/Male jumper wires if using solderless breadboard. Female/Male if connecting RTC module directly to Arduino Mega. Software apps Arduino IDE - latest version is recommended Setup Connections DS1307 RTC Module SCL - A5 SDA - A4 VCC - 5V GND - Ground Adafruit TFT Touch shield You can simply place the Adafruit TFT Touch shield onto your Arduino Mega 2560 development board.
