Final Project¶
Control gate door sisytem using web app.¶
The problem that my project wants to solve of mechanical close/open gate door and reducing gate keepers on gate by control gate door using smartphone in presence of wifi receiver.where every family member will be having web app to close/open the gate.This project will be made of wifi switch, door sensor, creating web app.
The idea was to build control home gate door system Opening and closing home gate door have been always boring job especially in place where a person or man power is always required to open the gate door for me from job and vistors at home. Here is a solution to open and close gate door i.e, control gate opener by web app in mobile phone with WIFI receiver. The project includes sketch,mechanical design and some structual construction in my project.
I made a basic hand drawing of the final look of the control home gate door system by using web App¶
The control home gate system using web app i want to make is for reducing man power for opening and closing gate and minimising gatekeepers.
Sliding gate door
Provide privancy and security at home this gate door has rack and pinion for pushing gate door and steeper motor for rotating gears of pinion.
Designing sliding gate
Designing Rack and pinion
Designing structure of Ground
Assembly of all parts which was designed using solid works software.
The ESP8266 WiFi Module is a self contained SOC with integrated TCP/IP protocol stack that can give any microcontroller access to your WiFi network. The ESP8266 is capable of either hosting an application or offloading all WiFi networking functions from another application processor.
A Stepper Motor: Electric motor that rotates by performing steps, that is by moving by a fixed amount of degrees.moves in forward and reverse directions.
Electronics components to be used in final project.
Below is printed materials used to make gate.The white color components are made in Acrylic materials printed in laser cutter and MDF material cut using CNC machine
Below, I assembly all printed components
Below is finished assembly of gate design.
On designing the circuit was straight forward, the schematic was not difficult. I started by designing in schematic editor as I have analysed it.I used KiCAD software.
Below, i switched schematic editor to PCB editor.I had to make Route tracks in PCB.
After designing the PCB I printed it and solderd all components.
