MIDTERM PROJECT
For my midterm project I have created an automatic light bulb switch. I used a photoresistor that senses when there is light and thus the light in the bedroom turns off and as soon as it's dark then the light bulb turns on. The idea for having an automatic light switch is that one will never have to forget to turn it on or off and it will just work automatically. I used a photoresistor, a variable resistor (the 10k), a few resistors, an LED, a breadboard, DC battery as a power supplier, wires, a regulator that will fix the light level as desired by the user, and an iron solder to connect the wires with the flux cores. The transistor controls the switch that will allow the light to turn on using battery power.The “automatic night light” is placed within a Tuscany like bedroom where the LED turns on every time the door closes and turns off every time the door opens. I have created a 3-D model of the Tuscan room and placed the light within the interior of the model.
