Weeks 7-9 consisted of project closeout for the Rough Terrain Robot project and to start thinking about the second project that we will be working on for the remainder of this semester and continuing to work on for the remainder of the year as our senior robotics project. The project that I have chose to work on is a Solar Powered LED Security System. The main aspect of this project is essentially a series of LED fixtures each with their own solar collector. The solar collector will collect solar energy during the day thus gathering enough energy and power to light the LED during the nighttime. Once that is complete, active infrared sensors will be implemented to act as security sensors. When motion is detected, the LEDs light intensity will increase thus making an “intruder” more visible and sending a message to a security desk that someone is in the area. Also, if any LED fails, another message will be sent to notify someone to fix the problem.
