| Abstract | Automatic blind systems are an emerging technology used in modern automated homes. It has now used in many houses and officers to accommodate comfortable automated control of sun light exposure to a space depending on user preference on given conditions. This system consists with five light dependent resistors to determine the sunlight intensity and adjust the angle of the blind accordingly. System also facilitates manual control. This study focus on controlling DC motor position using a optical encoder. Arduino microcontroller was used to execute the system. PID controller is used to minimize the error by adjusting the process input control signals. Main focus of this work is to apply the theoretical knowledge in to practical engineering applications and make a user friendly automatic blind prototype. |
