Description
The Arduino Smart Garage Kit demonstrates the principles of automation and access control using ultrasonic sensing. The system detects the approach of a vehicle and automatically opens the garage gate using a servo motor. It’s an excellent educational project for understanding sensor integration, motor actuation, and Arduino-based control systems. (Note: Toy cars shown in demonstrations are not included in the kit.)
Key Features
- Automatic gate control: The gate opens or closes based on the distance detected by the ultrasonic sensor.
- Contactless operation: Uses motion detection instead of buttons or remotes for activation.
- Easy prototyping: Includes a mini breadboard and jumper wires for quick, solder-free connections.
- Arduino-powered system: Fully programmable and customizable for various automation setups.
- Compact and educational: Ideal for learning basic robotics and IoT control concepts.
