Introduction

Technology has overtaken our world, almost everything, if not all is influenced by

technology. Wherever you go, there is technology, and sometimes we don’t even notice that we

are using it. Technology has a very big impact in our lives, it has made our daily living more

convenient. It gives us more time on others, it helps us to do things easily. Like for example, the

most common, “ messaging ”. Messaging in the old times is through letter sending, but it would

take days, weeks or even months before the person you were messanging will receive you letter.

another thing is our gadgets in the 19th century, you need a device called “camera” to take s photo.

You need a “telephone” which is connected to landline, you need another device called the “video-

camera” to record a video. But today, you only need a smartphone to do all stuff. Technology has

made everything automated even the chores in our houses. So we decided to automate plant

watering this project is called the automatic plant watering system using Arduino is an open source

computer hardware and software with single board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for

building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects will automatically

turn on the motor that powers the hose to pump water into the soil of the plant. It uses a sensor that

monitors the moisture of the soil. If the soil is under the indicated measurement of normal moisture

of the soil, the Arduino will then instruct the motor to pump water, if the normal soil moisture is

attained, the motor will automatically stop.

Statement of the Problem

People nowadays are too busy with their work. Most of them tend to focus on something

until the neglect their home task such as watering the plant. This is because people do not know

how to manage their time properly. Hereby, the effected solution of this problem is to design an

automatic plant watering system. By using this system, In this system, if the soil moisture sensor

detects the soil is too dry, the system will automatically water the plants.

Objectives

 To develop a system that will water the plants automatically.

 To keep and maintain the softness and proper moisture of the soil.

 To supply water partially or totally for plant needs.

 To help plant enthusiast who are busy in their professional career.

 To help them manage their plants without costing much of their precious time.

Introduction

Our homes are the most important place in our hearts, all our years and even our life’s

work are showered in our personal places. That’s why we make sure that everything that’s inside

are safe and secure. We always worry about burglars entering our homes getting our staff out and

worst, hurting our love ones. So, why don’t we secure our homes by installing a security system?

Since we are new to this. We are proposing to do a project called “Motion Alarm System with

SMS Intruder Alert”. This system uses a PIR Sensor, attach to an Arduino that is programed to

detect a motion in a specific temperature, distance and time. If the system detects a motion, it

record the data and then send the information to the controller via SMS. The text message will be

composed of the motion and the time when it was detected. This system is useful when the owner

is not in his/her house or if no one is at home. The owner can then contact nearest person in their

house to check if there’s something wrong inside. This can also be used in schools, offices,

laboratories and other places which needs security.

Statement of the Problem

Intruders, burglars and thief have been a problem of our society. They often attack in

times when we do not expect the most. Sometimes we are so confident on the mechanical security

of our homes such as padlocks, door locks, window locks or doorknobs not knowing that this

people is also prepared for them. Simple locks do not intimidate them, so we need something that

will shake them and input fear to them so that they will think twice or many times before they

bother entering our homes. Thieves hate one thing, “NOISE”. This is the very thing that droves

them away. That’s why they’re very particular in noises. We cannot avoid living our homes

without anyone watching for it, so the best thing we can do is secure important things. And put

methods that will drive burglars away from our houses.

Objectives

 To detect motions in places where it is not expected.

 To detect motion in a specific time when it is not expected.

 To monitor the place where the project is installed.

 To provide added security to the room/area where it is needed.

Introduction

The information sharing aspect of Information Technology is playing a prominent role in

all kind of business either it’s a NPO or Profit organization. All kind of business requires and

adopts the facility of advertisement to promote their services and products. Information technology

makes the advertisement methods more technical and effective as it is easy to transmit and share

information. Digital Advertisement is the current requirement of the modern business &

Information world. Scrolling LED dot-matrix display boards are used at International Airports,

Stock Exchanges, Metro rail stations, shopping complex etc., LED display is an effective mode of

displaying information but the complicated task is to make the messages dynamic as the user have

to change the message content according to the specific requirements. In case of changing the

message content the user have to connect the LED board with the computer, so that the display

board cannot be placed anywhere because of dedicated & complex wiring pattern. GSM based

LED dot-matrix display makes the wireless connection between user mobile and LED display. It

provides the facility of real-time message displaying means user can change the message content

that is to be display according to his/her will. A mobile is used to send the message to the GSM

based LED display and the microcontroller does all processing of displaying the message content

on the LED display in scrolling pattern. The aim of the project is to develop a wireless scrolling

message board that facilitate the user to change the message content without connecting the

Display board with the computer or laptop. The user can update the message content from the

remote location. The flash memory of the SIM is cleared after reading the update message to make

space available for next message. This project is based on the idea of designing a system for

wireless communication between mobile phone and LED display board. With the combination of

GSM modem controlled by microcontroller using AT command set for an effective wireless

communication system function. It provides the certain level of accuracy. The user having GSM

mobile handset can send message to the display board to flash or to display message content in

scrolling pattern. GSM modem is used to receive the message at the receiver circuit. The message

content sent by the user is stored into the SIM attached to the GSM modem.

Statement of the Problem

Announcement are often neglected most especially when it is released late. As we have

observed, announcement about our school activities or school matters are posted online or in social

medias, but some students don’t have social media accounts or some are not logged in to them.

We need something that can be seen by all, we need a system that can cater the needs of the people

so that when announcements are made, students can easily read it through an LED Matrix Message

Display.

Objectives

 To give convenience to instructors in disseminating an information to students

 To provide an easy way of announcing important matters in school

 To assist the need of an electronic announcement system

 To develop automation through e-bulletin
