With the existing push in the direction of sustainable, clean sources of power, it is no surprise that solar power has become one of the most popular alternative energy sources. Free and available everywhere, the power of the sun can be employed to power everything like cell phones and motors. The sun's energy is usually harvested through solar panels that are made up of photovoltaic cells. These cells can convert the sun's power into electricity that can be used for a number of purposes. For private use, a handheld solar hybrid charger can be employed to recharge little device for instance a DC fan, a cell phone, or a camera..
The objectives of the project include:
1. Dynamic tire pressure setting.
2. Usage of Solar energy.
3. Continuous monitoring of air pressure on LCD.
The project provides scope for learning the following technologies:
1. Pressure sensor characteristics.
2. Interfacing pressure sensor to Microcontroller.
3. Solar energy.
4. Embedded ‘C’ programming
The major building blocks of this project are:
1. Regulated Power supply.
2. Microcontroller.
3. LED Indicators.
4. LCD display unit.
5. Relay circuit.
6. Solar panel.
7. Buzzer.
8. pressure sensor
Software’s used:
1. PIC-C compiler for Embedded C programming.
2. PIC kit 2 programmer for dumping code into Micro controller.
3. Express SCH for Circuit design.
4. Proteus for hardware simulation.
