Introduction:
The project is designed for automatic door opening system using PIR
sensor. Opening and closing of doors is always a tedious job, especially in places
like shopping malls, hotels and theatres where a person is always required to open
the door for visitors.
This project proposes a system of automatic opening and closing of door by
sensing any body movement near the door. This is achieved with help of a PIR
(Passive Infrared) sensor. A live body generally emits infrared energy which is
sensed by the PIR sensor from a considerable distance. This sensing signal is fed
to a microcontroller to operate a door motor through motor driver IC. When a
body approaches within the operating range of the sensor, it sends a logical
command to open the door. The door automatically closes with a fixed time delay.
If there is no further movement within the PIR operating range. Interrupt signals
are used through limit switches to avoid locked rotor condition of the motor.

PIR MOTION SENSOR:

Overview:
PIR sensors allow you to sense motion, almost always used to detect whether a
human has moved in or out of the sensors range. They are small, inexpensive,
low-power, easy to use and don't wear out. They are often referred to as PIR,
"Passive Infrared", "Pyroelectric", or "IR motion" sensors. PIRs are basically made
of pyro electric sensor which can detect levels of infrared radiation. Everything
emits some low-level radiation, and the hotter something is, the more radiation
is emitted. The sensor in a motion detector is actually split in two halves. The
reason for that is that we are looking to detect motion (change) not average IR
levels. The two halves are wired up so that they cancel each other out. If one half
sees more or less IR radiation than the other, the output will swing high or low.
Along with the pyroelectric sensor is a bunch of supporting circuitry, resistors
and capacitors. Some PIR Sensors use the BISS0001 (Micro power PIR Motion
detector IC) which is very inexpensive chip. This chip takes the output of the
sensor and does some minor processing on it to emit a digital output pulse from
the analog sensor. PIR sensors are cheap, consumes low power, have a wide lens
range, and are easy to interface.
Details:
Size: Rectangular;
Price: $10;
Output: Digital pulse high (3V) when triggered (motion detected) and digital low when idle.
Sensitivity Range: up to 20 feet (6 meters) 110° x 70° detection range
Power supply: 5V-12V input voltage for most modules (they have a 3.3V regulator),
but 5V is ideal in case the regulator has different specs

HOW PIRs WORK
The PIR sensor itself has two slots in it, each slot is made of a special material that is
sensitive to IR. When the sensor is idle, both slots detect the same amount of IR, the
ambient amount radiated from the room or walls or outdoors. When a warm body like a
human or animal passes by, it first intercepts one half of the PIR sensor, which causes a
positive differential change between the two halves. When the warm body leaves the
sensing area, the reverse happens, whereby the sensor generates a negative differential
change. These change pulses are what is detected.

The IR sensor itself is housed in a hermetically sealed metal can to improve
noise/temperature/humidity immunity. There is a window made of IR-
transmissive material (typically coated silicon since that is very easy to come by)
that protects the sensing element.
Lenses:
PIR sensors are almost same but they vary in price and sensitivity. The
PIR sensor and circuitry is fixed and costs a few dollars and the lens costs very less and can
change the breadth, range, sensing pattern, very easily. the lens is just a piece of plastic,
but that means that the detection area is just two rectangles. Usually we'd like to have a
detection area that is much larger. To do that, we use a simple lens such as those found in
a camera, they condense a large area (such as a landscape) into a small one (on film or a
CCD sensor). we would like to make the PIR lenses small and thin and moldable from cheap
plastic, even though it may add distortion. For this reason, the sensors are actually Fresnel
lens

The Fresnel lens condenses light, providing a larger range of IR to the sensor. we don’t
want two really big sensing-area rectangles, but rather a scattering of multiple small areas.
So, what we do is split up the lens into multiple section, each section of which is a Fresnel
lens. The different faceting and sub-lenses create a range of detection areas, interleaved
with each other. That’s why the lens centers in the facets above are 'inconsistent' - every
other one points to a different half of the PIR sensing element.

The macro shot shows the different Fresnel lenses in each facet
Connecting to PIR :

Most PIR modules have a 3-pin connection at the side or bottom. One pin will be
ground, another will be signal and the final one will be power. Power is usually 3-
5 V DC input but may be as high as 12v.
The PIR has two knobs on the back for adjusting sensitivity and for changing the
pulse time.
ARDUINO UNO
The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328 It has 14
digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog
inputs, a 16 MHz ceramic resonator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP
header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the
microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it
with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

L293D Motor Driver IC
What Is Motor Driver IC?
A motor driver IC is an integrated circuit chip which is usually used to control
motors in autonomous robots. Motor driver ICs act as an interface between
microprocessors in robots and the motors in the robot. The most commonly used
motor driver IC’s are from the L293 series such as L293D, L293NE, etc. These
ICs are designed to control 2 DC motors simultaneously. L293D consist of two H-
bridge. H-bridge is the simplest circuit for controlling a low current rated motor.
L293D has 16 pins, they are comprised as follows: Ground Pins – 4 Input Pins – 4
Output Pins – 4 Enable pins - 2 Voltage Pins - 2
Why We Need Motor Driver IC?
Motor Driver ICs are primarily used in autonomous robotics only. Also, most
microprocessors operate at low voltages and require a small amount of current to
operate while the motors require a relatively higher voltage and current. Thus,
current cannot be supplied to the motors from the microprocessor. This is the
primary need for the motor driver IC.
How Motor Driver Operates?
The L293D IC receives signals from the microprocessor and transmits the relative
signal to the motors. It has two voltage pins, one of which is used to draw current
for the working of the L293D and the other is used to apply voltage to the motors.
The L293D switches it output signal according to the input received from the
microprocessor.

For Example: If the microprocessor sends a 1(digital high) to the Input Pin of
L293D, then the L293D transmits a 1(digital high) to the motor from its Output
Pin. An important thing to note is that the L293D simply transmits the signal it
receives. It does not change the signal in any case.
L293D And Its Working
The L293D is a 16 pin IC, with eight pins, on each side, dedicated to the
controlling of a motor. There are 2 INPUT pins, 2 OUTPUT pins and 1 ENABLE
pin for each motor. L293D consist of two H-bridge. H-bridge is the simplest
circuit for controlling a low current rated motor.
The Theory for working of a H-bridge is given below.
Working of A H-bridge
H-bridge is given this name because it can be modelled as four switches on the
corners of ‘H’. The basic diagram of H-bridge is given below:
In the given diagram, the arrow on the left points to the higher potential side of the
input voltage of the circuit. Now if the switches S1 & S4 are kept in
a closed position while the switches S2 & S3 are kept in an open position meaning
that the circuit gets shorted across the switches S1 & S4. This creates a path for
the current to flow, starting from the V input to switch S1 to the motor, then to
switch S4 and then the exiting from the circuit. This flow of the current would

make the motor turn in one direction. The direction of motion of the motor can be
clockwise or anti-clockwise, this is because the rotation of the motor depends
upon the connection of the terminals of the motor with the switches.
For simplicity, let’s assume that in this condition the motor rotates in a clockwise
direction. Now, when S3 and S2 are closed then and S1 and S4 are kept open then
the current flows from the other direction and the motor will now definitely
rotates in counter-clockwise direction When S1 and S3 are closed
and S2 and S4 are open then the ‘STALL’ condition will occur(The motor will
break).
Stall Condition:
When the motor is applied positive voltage on both sides then the voltage from
both the sides brings the motor shaft to a halt

L293D Logic Table.
Let’s consider a Motor connected on left side output pins (pin 3,6). For rotating
the motor in clockwise direction, the input pins have to be provided with Logic 1
and Logic 0.
• Pin 2 = Logic 1 and Pin 7 = Logic 0 | Clockwise Direction
• Pin 2 = Logic 0 and Pin 7 = Logic 1 | Anticlockwise Direction
• Pin 2 = Logic 0 and Pin 7 = Logic 0 | Idle [No rotation] [Hi-Impedance state]
• Pin 2 = Logic 1 and Pin 7 = Logic 1 | Idle [No rotation]
In a very similar way the motor can also operate across input pin 15,10 for motor
on the right-hand side.
Voltage Specification:
VCC is the voltage that it needs for its own internal operation 5v; L293D will not
use this voltage for driving the motor. For driving the motors, it has a separate
provision to provide motor supply VSS (V supply). L293d will use this to drive
the motor. It means if you want to operate a motor at 9V then you need to provide
a Supply of 9V across VSS Motor supply. The maximum voltage for VSS motor
supply is 36V. It can supply a max current of 600mA per channel. Since it can
drive motors Up to 36v hence you can drive pretty big motors with this
l293d.VCC pin 16 is the voltage for its own internal Operation. The maximum
voltage ranges from 5v and up to 36v.
Don’t Exceed the Vmax Voltage of 36 volts or it will cause damage.
Advantages of automatic door opening system:
 For people in wheelchairs and other disabled individuals, automatic doors
are an immense boon, since conventional doors can be very hard to work
with. It may be impossible to open a conventional door while seated in a
wheelchair or navigating with crutches.
 In hospitals and scientific labs, automatic doors can be used to secure an
area by ensuring that the doors are shut at all times, while reducing the risk

of cross-contamination since people do not need to handle the doors to pass
through them.
 Automatic doors can also be useful in warehouses and other facilities where
people frequently have their hands full, contributing to safety and efficiency
by making it easier for people to get around.
Further Improvements:
 There can be a Display Unit for showing number of persons entered in a
particular room.
 A better sensor is recommended to achieve new functionality. For instance,
a suitable sensor such as radar sensor that could detect contraband goods in
any vehicle.
 To achieve full automation, a real-time system should be employed and a
Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) system provided for proper monitoring
and security purposes. This can be helpful in detecting the presence of
vehicles before the system is activated.
 Upgrading the system using higher bit microprocessors for speed
optimization.
 Along with this system we can use Face-detection through Camera for
Automated Attendance System.
