Social Distance
Social Distance Measuring Device
Description:
The Social Distance Measuring Device is an innovative project designed to promote safety by accurately measuring distances between individuals in public spaces. It incorporates advanced technology to provide real-time distance monitoring and alert mechanisms, ensuring adherence to social distancing guidelines.
Components
Two PCBs:
The project utilizes two printed circuit boards (PCBs) for efficient organization and connectivity of components. The vertical PCB houses the OLED display, range finder, and indicator LED, while the bottom PCB accommodates the microcontroller chip, power inputs, piezoelectric buzzer, and peripheral devices.
Microcontroller:
An Arduino microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, handling data acquisition, processing, and control functions.
OLED Display:
A high-resolution OLED display provides clear and concise visual feedback, showing distance measurements and status indicators in real-time.
Maxsonar Range Finder:
The Maxsonar ultrasonic range finder accurately measures distances between the device and nearby objects or individuals.
Bluetooth Module:
A Bluetooth module enables wireless communication with external devices, facilitating data transmission and interaction with a mobile application.
5V USB Connector:
The USB connector provides power to the device, ensuring continuous operation without the need for external power sources.
12V DC Barrel Jack:
For additional power options, a 12V DC barrel jack is included, allowing the device to be powered by an external power supply if necessary.
Bi-Color LED Indicator Light:
The bi-color LED serves as a visual indicator, displaying different colors to indicate safe and unsafe distances between individuals.
Serial Programmer Port:
A serial programmer port facilitates programming and debugging tasks, ensuring smooth operation and easy maintenance of the device.
Mobile Application
The Social Distance Measuring Device is complemented by a mobile application that utilizes the Bluetooth module for seamless connectivity. The application notifies the user if the distance between the device and an individual, referred to as an intruder, is less than the recommended safe distance, typically set at 6 feet.
