The solar collectors will gather a sufficient amount of power to make the LEDs shine at a minimum brightness. Motion sensors will also be implemented into the system to detect movement and brighten the LEDs also sending a message notifying a security director of some sort. The solar panels will use power to charge a battery or series of batteries during the day and the LEDs will draw power from that source at night. If an LED goes out or does not have enough energy to illuminate, the system will be designed to gather energy from one of the other sources. Also, if there is any type of power failure, a message will be sent again to an outside source for help. Applications for a project like this are mainly large scale. We would see systems like this outside of buildings, spotlights that tell when there is movement in an area, whether it be an intruder or not. Clients would expect a product like this possibly as a model before the design of a building by using a small scale rendition to show what the large scale will be able to accomplish.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Deliverables<\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Solar collection linked with ultra-bright LEDs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Able to collect enough energy to power a battery to turn on a series of LEDs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Incorporate motion sensors to turn on LEDs at a low luminance when motion is detected<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Apply energy scale, battery collects enough power for the longest time possible<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Send message when motion is detected<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Send message if problem is recorded<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Milestones<\/span><\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Solar collection linked with ultra-bright LEDs<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Research photovoltaic cells and how they work in order to charge a battery<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Turn LEDs on with an already charged battery<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Test solar collectors for energy collection<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Able to collect enough energy to power a battery to turn on a series of LEDs<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Build collector circuit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Collect solar energy and test circuit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Link microcontroller to battery charger and LED driver circuit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Incorporate motion sensors to turn on LEDs at a low luminance when motion is detected<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Attach motion sensors to LED driver circuit<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Link microcontroller to motion sensors<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Apply energy scale, battery collects enough power for the longest time possible<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Connect energy storage system to battery charger and link to LED driver circuit<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Send message when motion is detected<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Python programming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Send message if problem is recorded<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif\">Python programming<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Extension\/Changes<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Final Project Report<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">Project Management Concepts<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt\">&#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Description The overall objective of this project is to implement an automatic solar powered LED security system designed to collect enough solar energy during the daylight to power a series of LEDs during the night.
