Abstract
God gifted sense of vision to the human being is an important aspect of our life. But there are
some unfortunate people who lack the ability of visualizing things. The visually impaired have to
face many challenges in their daily life. The problem gets worse when there is an obstacle in front
of them. The Haptic Proximity Module is an innovative Electronics Project designed for visually
disabled people for improved navigation. The paper presents a theoretical system concept to
provide a smart ultrasonic aid for blind people. The system is intended to provide overall
measures – Artificial vision and object detection. The aim of the overall system is to provide a
low cost and efficient navigation aid for a visually impaired person who gets a sense of artificial
vision by providing information about the environmental scenario of static and dynamic objects
around them. Ultrasonic sensors are used to calculate distance of the obstacles around the blind
person to guide the user towards the available path. Output is in the form of sequence of beep
sound and motor vibrance which the blind person can hear and feel.
Keywords: Ultrasonic sensors, visually impaired person, Microcontroller.

INTRODUCTION
There are approximately 37 million people across the globe who are blind, over 15 million are
from India. Even for the non-visually impaired the congestion of obstacles is sometimes
problematic, it’s even worse for the visually impaired. People with visual disabilities are often
dependent on external assistance which can be provided by humans, trained dogs, or special
electronic devices as support systems for decision making. Existing devices are able to detect and
recognize objects that emerge on the floor, but a considerable risk is also includes the objects that
are at a sudden depth, or obstacles above waist level or stairs. Thus we were motivated to develop
a smart device to overcome these limitations. The most common tool that the blind currently use
to navigate is the standard white cane. We decided to modify and enhance the walking cane, since
blind are only able to detect objects by touch,hear or by cane. The user sweeps the cane back and
forth in front of them. When the cane hits an object or falls off of the edge of a stair, the user then
becomes aware of the obstacle –sometimes too late. We accomplished this goal by adding
ultrasonic sensors that provided information about the environment to the user through diffrent type
of buzzer sounds and vibration feedback. The main component of this system is the Ultrasonic
module with Atmega 328p-pu microprocessor.

1.1 BACKGROUND
Vision is the most important part of human physiology as 83% of information human being gets
from the environment is via sight. The 2011 statistics by the World Health Organization (WHO)
estimates that there are 285 million people in world with visual impairment, 39 billion of which
are blind and 246 with low vision. The traditional and oldest mobility aids for persons with visual
impairments are the walking cane (also called white cane or stick) and guide dogs. The most
important drawbacks of these aids are necessary skills and training phase, range of motion and
very little information conveyed. With the rapid advances of modern technology, both in
hardware and software front have brought potential to provide intelligent navigation capabilities.
Recently there has been a lot of Electronic Travel Aids (ETA) designed and devised to help the
blind navigate independently and safely. Also high-end technological solutions have been
introduced recently to help blind persons to navigate independently. Many blind guidance
systems use ultrasound because of its immunity to the environmental noise. Another reason why
ultrasonic is popular is that the technology is relatively inexpensive, and also ultrasound emitters
and detectors are small enough to be carried without the need for complex circuit. Blind people
have used canes as mobility tools for centuries, but it was not until after World War I that the
white cane was introduced.

1.2 LITERATURE SURVEY
Numerous attempts have been made in the society to help the blind. “Project Prakash” is a
humanitarian mission to help the blind children especially by training them to utilize their brains
to learn a set of objects around them. The stick has a ping sonar sensor to sense the distant
objects. It also has a wet detector to detect the water. The micro-controller used is PIC
microcontroller. The microcontroller circuit is on the outside of the stick but is protected with a
code so its security cannot be breached. The only feedback given to the user is through the
vibration motor. Three sensors are used viz. ultrasonic, pit sensor and the water sensor. Even
this is a PIC based system. The feedback given is through the vibration as well as the
speaker/headphones. There is a GPS system where-in the user has to feed his location. No
information on how a blind man would do that. Also they haven’t mentioned anything about the
size and shape of their cane and neither about the placement of their circuitry. The author has
made a detachable unit consisting of an ultrasonic sensor and a vibration motor. It can be fit on
any stick. It detects obstacles up to 3cm. The vibration feedback varies in the intensity as the
obstacles come nearer. Many different approaches have been taken with the primary purpose of
creating a technology to aid the visually impaired. The priorities set by different authors are
different leaving a scope of improvement in every application.

ULTRASONIC SENSOR
2.1 Introduction
Ultrasonic technology was for over 40 years employed in the steel industry, initially with flaw
detection and later joined by wall thickness measurement. For the past 15 years the plastics industry
has used ultrasonic testing in the field of wall thickness measurement of pipe extrusions. Quality
considerations and material savings serve as arguments for investment in and protection against the
increasingly important aspect of product liability. Also, Automation increasingly is being used in
order to facilitate the use of data to recalculate the production costs of individual products and
optimize the entire plant from this.
 Material Saving
 Automation
 Quality Control
In the last few years, considerable efforts were made to utilize ultrasonic wall thickness measuring
systems in the pipe extrusion. This ultimately was demonstrated by a multitude of key patents.
Acoustic frequencies between 16 kHz and 1 GHz are referred to as ultrasound; in industrial settings
we call it “ultrasonic”. To clarify: people are able to hear frequencies between 16 Hz and 20 kHz;
i.e. the lower frequencies of industrial ultrasonic are audible, especially if secondary frequencies
are generated. And what is more, ultrasonic is palpable when touching the weld tool. For ultrasonic
welding, the frequency range is between 20 kHz and 70 kHz.
Additional fields of application: Imaging ultrasound in the field of medical diagnostics ranges
between 1 and 40 MHz It is not audible or palpable. In the field of industrial material testing,
ultrasonic is used at frequencies from 0.25 to 10 MHz .
This project, an ultrasonic rangefinder from 1979, shows how to make a distance finding device
using ultrasonic sound waves. This includes only the block diagrams and no circuit but detailed
description shows what is going on. The interesting part of this design is not so much the range
finder itself (since using microcontrollers you can build one more easily), rather it is using a simple
RC circuit to differentiate a mono stable pulse output (a square pulse). And then using a comparator
to trigger activation of the receiver. Not only this but the received ultrasonic signal is used as input

14 | P a g e
to the other side of the comparator as a reference i.e. to trigger the measurement action. The key
point is that the differentiated pulse lowers the threshold for the comparator trigger meaning that the
circuit should respond better to lower signal levels i.e. reflected ultrasonic sounds received from a
greater distance. There is a free project on this site for a microcontroller based ultrasonic range
finder with circuit diagrams - it would be interesting to add in the variable threshold and see if it
can be improved! it should do so as the level detected will be improved the further the distance that
the ultrasonic sound wave is reflected. For changes in that circuit (in the above link): You can see
the threshold comparator U6 and threshold adjust VR2. You would need to use a spare output from
the 16F88 say one of the spare signals on port RB, to generate a pulse and then add the CR network
to differentiate that and feed into the comparator (pin 3).
2.2 Description of the Ultrasonic Sensor
The present design provides an ultrasonic rangefinder comprising a first transducer for transducing
electric signals into ultrasonic waves and transmitting said ultrasonic waves, a second transducer
for receiving said ultrasonic waves and transducing said ultrasonic waves into electric signals, a first
timer means for determining a starting time for transmitting said ultrasonic waves, a carrier
frequency generator for generating a carrier signal of a frequency of said ultrasonic waves, a second
timer means for generating a pulse having a time width at least longer than a time corresponding to
a travelling time of said ultrasonic waves from said first transducer to said second transducer at the
time when said first transducer begins to transmit said ultrasonic waves, a differentiation circuit for
differentiating said pulse of said second timer means, and a comparator for comparing a level of
said differentiated output signal from said differentiation circuit with an output signal level of said
second transducer and detecting a threshold time when said level of said differentiated output signal
from said differentiation circuit becomes lower than said output signal level of said second
transducer.

invention for the ultrasonic rangefinder

The preferred embodiment of the present design is elucidated by referring to the accompanying
drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an ultrasonic rangefinder in accordance with the present
design. FIG. 2 is a timing chart showing signals designated by curves (a)-(h) in several blocks of

16 | P a g e
FIG. 2.1. A pulse generating circuit (PGC) 1 of FIG. 2.1 generates one start pulse P1 shown by
the curve (a) of FIG. 2.2 every time a switch SW is turned on. A first mono stable multivibrator
(MMV) 2 serves as a first timer means, is triggered by the start pulse P1, and generates an output
signal which has a high logic level part PA for a time period of t2 as shown by the curve (b) of FIG.
2.2 A carrier frequency generator (CFG) 3 continuously generates a signal of a carrier wave
frequency used for the ultrasonic range finding. An AND gate circuit 4 passes the continuously
generated signal for the time period t2 and gives a burst signal A shown in the curve (c) of FIG. 2.
Therefore, the burst signal A lasts only during the time period t2 when the output signal of the mono
stable multivibrator (MMV) 2 is at the high logic level. A power amplifier 5 amplifies the burst
signal A of an ultrasonic frequency, thereby driving a transducer such as a speaker 6 for producing
the ultrasonic waves.An ultrasonic wave is reflected by an object 13 and reaches a microphone 8
which converts the ultrasonic wave into an electric signal. An amplifier 7 amplifies the electric
signal sent out from the microphone 8. A center frequency of the amplifier 7 is set to be the
ultrasonic frequency of the burst signal A, namely the carrier frequency generator (CFG) 3, so that
the reflected ultrasonic signal only is amplified thereby. A second mono stable multivibrator
(MMV) 9 serves as a second timer means, is triggered by the abovementioned start pulse P1, and
generates an output signal PB having a high logic level for a time period t9 as shown by the curve
(d) of FIG. 2.2 A differentiation circuit 10 having a relatively long predetermined time constant
differentiates the output signal of the second mono stable multivibrator (MMV) 9.
Figure 2.3 : Is a circuit diagram of a typical differentiation circuit together with input and output signal
waveforms for the ultrasonic rangefinder
FIG. 3 is a circuit diagram showing a typical differential circuit together with input and output
signal waveforms. The differentiation circuit 10 generates a signal V1 changing its waveform
exponentially as shown by the curve (e) of FIG. 2. An analog comparator 11 compares the voltage
of the signal V1 of the differentiation circuit 10 with that of an output signal V2 of the amplifier 7,
and inverts a logic level of an output signal to a high logic level when the voltage of the signal V1 is
lower than that of the signal V2. A flip-flop (FF) 12 has been previously set by the abovementioned
start pulse P1 thereby holding its output signal shown by the curve (h) of FIG. 2 at a high logic

17 | P a g e
level until the output signal of the analog comparator 11 is inverted to the high logic level. When
the switch SW is turned on, the ultrasonic waves are generated from the speaker 6 during the time
period t2. They reach the object 13 and are reflected from the object 13. Then, the microphone 8
detects the reflected ultrasonic waves thereby generating an electric signal, which is then selectively
amplified by the amplifier 7. The output signal V2 of the amplifier 7 is an analog signal F2 shown
by the curve (f) of FIG. 2. The output signal V1 of the differentiation circuit 10 is expressed by
using the input signal thereof, i.e. an output signal E of the second mono stable multivibrator
(MMV) 9 as, where C and R are a capacitance and a resistor of the differentiation circuit 10,
respectively, and t is the time. The equation (1) can be approximately expanded to result in
The level of the signal V2 in proportion to the received ultrasonic waves also decays as the time
passes. Therefore, it is necessary that the sensitivity of the analog comparator (COM) 11 complies
with a distance from the rangefinder to the object 13 (in other words, with the time required for the
ultrasonic waves to be reflected from the object 13 and to return to the rangefinder).
For this purpose, the output signal of the flip-flop (FF) 12 is turned to a low logic level when the
signal V2 by the received ultrasonic waves becomes higher than the output signal V1 of the
differentiation circuit 10 after a predetermined time t12 from the time when the flip-flop (FF) 12 is
set by the start pulse P1. An indication means 14 is used to display a time period during which the
logic level of the flip-flop 12 is at the high logic level. Suitable indicating means are known to those
in this art and could, for example, be a counter. It is a known technique to display a value responding
to a distance by selecting a clock pulse frequency used for the counting. The sound wave
propagation velocity v (m/sec) in the air is expressed by
where T is the temperature in centigrade. A distance L(m) from the rangefinder to the object 13
can be calculated by

18 | P a g e
Figure 2.4 : Is a graph showing waveforms of ultrasonic wave signals versus time for the ultrasonic rangefinder
where t12 is the time corresponding to the time from the sending to the receiving of the ultrasonic
waves. The relationship between the sound strength of the received ultrasonic waves and the
distance L is that the former is inversely proportional to the latter. Therefore, when an ultrasonic
wave pulse shown by a curve (c') of FIG. 4 is used for the rangefinding of three different objects
O1, O2 and O3 positioned at different places distant from the rangefinder, the sound strength of the
received ultrasonic waves decreases in accordance with the distances of the objects from the
rangefinder as shown by a curve (f') of FIG. 4, even when the reflection coefficients of the objects
are equal to each other.
The rangefinder in accordance with the present design uses the output signal V1 of the differentiation
circuit 10 as a threshold value of the analog comparator (COM) 11. The output signal V1 is time-
dependent as described above, and therefore the rangefinder in accordance with the present design
is devised in such a manner that the threshold value used for the comparison in the analog
comparator (COM) 11 is automatically varied in accordance with the time required for the
ultrasonic waves to reach the rangefinder after the reflection.
When the direct waves are received by the microphone 8 immediately after the ultrasonic waves are
transmitted from the speaker 6 and before the reflection waves are received by the microphone 8,
the amplifier 7 produces a spurious output signal F1 in the curve (f) of FIG. 2. At this time, the
signal V1 is higher than the spurious output signal F1 so that the comparator 11 does not generate
the inverted high level signal.
Accordingly, it is possible to remove effects of undesirable spurious electric signals induced by the
direct ultrasonic waves. It is thus possible to correctly carry out the rangefinding even for the object
positioned at an extremely proximate place from the rangefinder.
It is naturally that the speaker 6 for producing the ultrasonic waves and the microphone 8 for
receiving the ultrasonic waves are transducers designed for the ultrasonic wave range having the
most preferable electric-mechanical and mechanic-electrical conversion efficiency values in the

19 | P a g e
ultrasonic frequency range controlled by the carrier frequency generator (CFG) 3.
In the timing chart of FIG. 2 analog signal parts are enlarged in the time axis. When the oscillation
frequency of the carrier frequency generator (CFG) 3 is set to be 40 KHz, the predetermined time
period t2 of the first mono stable multivibrator (MMV) 2 be 2 m sec and the maximum setting
distance value be 3.4 m, then the predetermined time period t9 of the second monostable
multivibrator (MMV) 9 becomes 20 m sec. It is possible that the ultrasonic rangefinder in
accordance with the present design further comprises a display means (not shown in FIG. 1) to
indicate that the ultrasonic rangefinder is unable to measure the object distance when the output
signal (h) of the flip-flop (FF) 12 does not invert the output signed within the predetermined time
period t9 of the second mono stable multivibrator (MMV) 9 (i.e. the reflection waves are not
obtained within the predetermined time period t9). It is further possible to provide a counter means
in the ultrasonic rangefinder of the present design by using a suitable clock signal and the output
signal (h) of the flip-flop (FF) 12 as a gate signal.
Figure 2.5 : Is a circuit diagram of a known simple oscillator circuit for the ultrasonic rangefinder
FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram showing a known simple oscillation circuit comprising a capacitor C', a
resistor R' and an inverter 14. Such an oscillation circuit is applicable to the first and second
monostable multivibrators 2 and 9. An oscillation frequency of the oscillation circuit is variable by
selecting a suitable time constant of the capacitor C' and the resistor R'.
It is therefore possible to remove a temperature-dependent effect of the sound velocity from the
measured distance value by using a temperature-sensitive device such as a thermistor instead of the
resistor R' in such a manner that the frequency dependence of the clock signal on the temperature
coincides with the sound velocity dependence on the temperature expressed by the equation (3). It
is still further possible to employ the oscillation circuit of FIG. 5 as the carrier frequency generator
(CFG) 3 when the temperature compensation is made therein, since the frequency characteristics
of the speaker 6 and the microphone 8 and the frequency characteristics of the amplifier 7 are not
affected within the variable range of the sound velocity expressed by the equation (3). When the

oscillation frequency of the carrier frequency generator 3 is set to be around 34 KHz, the distance
corresponding to one cycle of the ultrasonic waves is 1 cm (assuming the temperature is around 10°
C.). Thus a direct indication in centimeter unit is possible by using a signal as a counter clock signal
for the time period t12 after dividing the signal of the carrier frequency generator (CFG) 3 to get the
signal of the frequency of a half of the oscillation frequency. It is preferable that the time period
t2 of the first monostable multivibrator (MMV) 2 for determining a pulse width of the transmitting
ultrasonic waves is set to be a value equal to or slightly longer than response times of the speaker 6
and microphone 8, which response times are given by the mechanical Q values thereof. The
ultrasonic rangefinder of the present design provides a possibility of a correct distance measurement
with a simple circuit constitution where the threshold signal level of the analog comparator 11 to
the reflection waves is automatically varied with respect to the time lapse of the travelling of the
ultrasonic waves thus overcoming the conventional problems due to the direct waves.
2.3 Executive Summary of the Ultrasonic Rangefinder
An ultrasonic rangefinder providing a correct distance measurement and comprising a first
transducer for transducing electric signals into ultrasonic waves and transmitting the ultrasonic
waves, a second transducer for receiving the ultrasonic waves and transducing the ultrasonic waves
into electric signals, a differentiation circuit, and a comparator for comparing a level of a
differentiated output signal from the differentiation circuit with an output signal level of the second
transducer and detecting a threshold time when the level of the differentiated output signal from the
differentiation circuit becomes lower then the output signal level of the second transducer where a
threshold signal level of the comparator is automatically varied with respect to a time lapse of the
travelling ultrasonic waves coming back to the rangefinder after being reflected by an object, thus
overcoming the conventional problems due to the spurious-like direct waves.

7805 VOLTAGE REGULATOR
4.1 Introduction
A regulated power supply is very much essential for several electronic devices due to the
semiconductor material employed in them have a fixed rate of current as well as voltage. The device
may get damaged if there is any deviation from the fixed rate. The AC power supply gets converted
into constant DC by this circuit. By the help of a voltage regulator DC, unregulated output will be
fixed to a constant voltage. The circuit is made up of linear voltage regulator 7805 along with
capacitors and resistors with bridge rectifier made up from diodes. From giving an unchanging
voltage supply to building confident that output reaches uninterrupted to the appliance, the diodes
along with capacitors handle elevated efficient signal conveyal.
4.2 Description:
As we have previously talked about that regulated power supply is a device that mechanized on DC
voltages and also it can uphold its output accurately at a fixed voltage all the time although if there
is a significant alteration in the DC input voltage.
ICs regulator is mainly used in the circuit to maintain the exact voltage which is followed by the
power supply. A regulator is mainly employed with the capacitor connected in parallel to the input
terminal and the output terminal of the IC regulator. For the checking of gigantic alterations in the
input as well as in the output filter, capacitors are used. While the bypass capacitors are used to
check the small period spikes on the input and output level. Bypass capacitors are mainly of small
values that are used to bypass the small period pulses straightly into the Earth.A circuit diagram
having regulator IC and all the above discussed components arrangement revealed in the figure
below.

FUNCTION
C1 This capacitor is known as bypass capacitor and is employed to bypass extremely tiny
duration spikes to the ground with no distress the other components.
C2 C2 is the filter capacitor employed to steady the slow changes in the voltage applied at the
input of the circuit. Escalating the value of the capacitor amplify the stabilization as well
as the declining value of the capacitor reduces the stabilization. More over this capacitor
is not alone capable to ensure very constricted period spikes emerge at the input.
C3 C3 is known as a filter capacitor employed in the circuit to steady the slow
alterations in the output voltage. Raising the value of the capacitor enlarges the
stabilization furthermore declining the value of the capacitor declined the
stabilization. Moreover this capacitor is not alone capable to ensure very fine
duration spikes happen at the output.
C4 C4 is known as bypass capacitor and worked to bypass very small period spikes to
the earth with no influence the other components.
U1 U1 is the IC with positive DC and it upholds the output voltage steady exactly at a
constant value even although there are major deviation in the input voltage.

29 | P a g e
As we have made the whole circuit till now to be operated on the 5V DC supply, so we have to use
an IC regulator for 5V DC. And the most generally used IC regulators get into the market for 5V
DC regulation use is 7805. So we are connecting the similar IC in the circuit as U1.
IC 7805 is a DC regulated IC of 5V. This IC is very flexible and is widely employed in all types of
circuit like a voltage regulator. It is a three terminal device and mainly called input , output and
ground. Pin diagram of the IC 7805 is shown in the diagram below.

The pin explanation of the 7805 is described in the following table:

1 INPUT In this pin of the IC positive unregulated voltage is given in regulation.
2 GROUND In this pin where the ground is given. This pin is neutral for equally the

3 OUTPUT The output of the regulated 5V volt is taken out at this pin of the IC
regulator.

In the circuit diagram C2 as well as C3 are filter capacitor while bypass capacitors are the C1 and
C4.The electrolytic polarized capacitors are employed for this purpose. For the purpose of filter
capacitors normally 10mfd value of the capacitor used. And in these projects we also used 100mfd
value of the capacitor. While in all kinds of circuit the value of bypass capacitor is 0.1 mfd. And
in generally un-polarized mainly disc capacitors employed for this purpose.

Currently we have the circuit for the 5V DC positive regulation and we are also familiar with the
component values used in the circuit. In the table below we have mentioned the value in detail of
all the components used in the circuit of 5V DC positive regulator.

the DC output against the variations in the input DC voltage. To obtain a stable output of 5V, IC
7805 is attached with 6-0-6V along with 500mA step down transformer as well as with rectifier.
To suppress the oscillation which might generate in the regulator IC, C2 capacitor of 0.1 uF value
is used. When the power supply filter is far away from the regulated IC capacitor C2 is used.
Ripple rejection in the regulator is been improved by C4 capacitor (35uf) by avoiding the ripple
voltage to be amplified at the regulator output. The output voltage is strengthen and deduction of
the output voltage is done capacitor C3 (0.1uF). To avoid the chance of the input get shorted D5
diode is used to save the regulator. If D5 is not presented in the circuit, the output capacitor can
leave its charge immediately during low impedance course inside the regulator.

VIBRATING MOTOR
5.1 Introduction
There are two basic types of vibration motor. An eccentric rotating mass vibration motor
(ERM) uses a small unbalanced mass on a DC motor, when it rotates it creates a force that translates
to vibrations. A linear resonant actuator (LRA) contains a small internal mass attached to a
spring, which creates a force when driven.
As specialists in the supply and design of vibration motors, you can find our stocked motors in our
product catalogue. If you can't find exactly what you need, or would like to discuss a project, please
do not hesitate to contact our engineers here. If you prefer to read online, you will find lots of
additional information and guides to help you understand how vibration motors work.
See the sections below to explore our different vibration motors!
Figure 5.1 : Brushless Dura Vibe™ Vibration Motor
5.2 An Introduction of Vibration Motors
Small vibration motors have been around since the 1960s. Initially they were developed for
massaging products, but their development took a new turn in the 90's when consumers required

33 | P a g e
vibra-call on their mobile / cell phones. Today, designers and users alike have learned from two
decades of mobile phones, that vibration alerting is an excellent way to alert operators to an event.
These days miniature vibrating motors are used in a wide range of products, such as tools, scanners,
medical instruments, GPS trackers, and control sticks. Vibrator motors are also the main actuators
for haptic feedback which is an inexpensive way to increase a product's value, and differentiate it
from competition.
So, if you landed here because you want to make something vibrate, you're in good company.
Precision Microdrives is the leading supplier of sub Ø60 mm vibrating motors. We carry the widest
range of stock and we offer unrivaled application support and on-hand technical expertise.
5.3 Precision Microdrives Vibration Motor Ranges
Our ranges of vibration motors help group together alternative products for similar applications,
mainly by their construction. You can click on the images below to read more about each range and
access the different vibration motors' datasheets.
Our Pico Vibe™ Range includes our smallest DC vibration motors, perfect for lightweight
applications or where space is at a premium. They include miniaturised DC coreless motors with
eccentric masses, both in cylindrical and coin form (see the Form Factors section below for more
details). This is our widest range, from lightweight vibrations in sizes down to 3mm up to powerful
6G+ motors, they will fit a variety of different applications and power needs.
Precision Haptic™ actuators include our linear resonant actuators as well as a few eccentric rotating
mass vibration motors that are specifically design for haptic feedback applications. They have
excellent rise and stop times, which can be improved using specialised driving techniques. You
may also wish to compare them to our Pico Vibe™ range as, although not singled out, many of them
also offer great haptic performance. Why not try our Haptic Feedback Evaluation Kit to compare
different actuators?

34 | P a g e
Our largest motors are found in our Uni Vibe™ range, which are often our most powerful due to
their bigger size. However, as specialists in the supply of miniature DC vibration motors, these
ERMs typically do not exceed 50mm in diameter. With the extra vibration strength, our Uni Vibe™
motors are perfect for heavier applications or for those seeking extra vibration strength.
Our brushless vibration motors are in our Dura Vibe™ range. They are long-life motors that are
suitable for applications that demand extra long performance time. To achieve this they are based
on BLDC motors so do not suffer from commutator wear. Many of these BLDC vibration motors
are coin types that include an internal driving IC, making them very easy to integrate.

35 | P a g e
5.4 Different Vibration Motor Form Factors
Whilst the end goal of vibration motors is to produce a force, there are many ways of achieving
it. There is a wide range of physical forms, both internal and external, to help you achieve this. To
guide you, the articles below help describe the main characteristics of each type. You will notice
that some motors may belong to multiple categories, for example our encapsulated motors are based
on ERMs, so you may want to look at several different types for additional information.
Our most popular form factor is the ERM or 'pager' motor. This is because there are lots of DC
motors available in this cylindrical form, where the eccentric mass helps create an unbalanced force.
They are also the most versatile - they can be mounted on PCBs, encapsulated, use a variety of
power connections, and even be based on brushless motors. However, coin or 'pancake' motors use
the same operating principle - but their eccentric mass is kept in their small circular body (which is
where they get their names from). They are restricted in amplitude because of their size, but have
extremely low profiles (only a few mm!) which make them popular in applications which space is
restricted.
Encapsulation is the process of sealing an ERM into a plastic housing. These units are popular for
applications where the motor is housed with injection moulding or ones that require waterproof
vibration motors. Motors that are mounted to PCBs have several connection types, including SMD
vibration motors, through-hole chassis, or spring pad terminals. Some even use leaded power
connections and a specialized mounting technique (like adhesives) so that PCB tracks do not need
to reach the motor itself.

36 | P a g e
Linear Resonant Actuators (LRA) are the most unique devices in our collection of vibration motors.
Although they sometimes look like coin motors, they do not use an eccentric mass to create force.
Instead, they have a magnetic mass attached to a spring and driven by a voice coil - a similar design
to loudspeakers. This means they are very efficient, have excellent response, and need different
drivers compared to a DC vibration motor. Similarly, brushless vibration motors also have different
driving requirements. Without wearing the brushes of the commutator, they last for a very long
time but (unless the vibration motor has an internal driver IC) are slightly more complicated to
operate.

37 | P a g e
5.5 Common Vibration Motor Applications And Examples
Our customers are always coming up with ever more inventive uses for vibration motors, so it is
difficult for us to list them all here! To help, we have discussed some of our most popular categories
over the years below.
Haptic Feedback and Vibration Alerting are not necessarily applications themselves, but they are
different methods of implementing vibrations within applications. Haptic Feedback uses advanced
vibration patterns and effects to convey complicated information to users. Vibration Alerting tends
to be a simple on / off alert, perhaps with a ramp effect. A good example is a mobile phone, which
in the early days would simply vibrate to notify the user of a call / text. Later, they would play
SMS in morse code, now they have a range of effects for games and applications. Over time, they
have progressed from Vibration Alerting to Haptic Feedback.
Vibration motors are a popular method for moving materials and produce that can become stuck in
chutes or hoppers without the need for human intervention. These applications typically employ
some of our larger motors, however emulsifiers or scientific experiments sometimes make use of
smaller vibration motors that meet their specific requirements. Conversly, medical applications will
often use the smaller devices as within handheld equipment. These devices often have tight
requirements for their suppliers, including factory audits, which we are more than happy to help
with at Precision Microdrives.

38 | P a g e
Light, portable devices that need to alert users are perfect for miniature vibration motors - especially
when they are powered by batteries. Our wide range of stocked motors helps you select a vibration
motor that fits your device's form factor - not the other way around. Cars are using more and more
sensors to assist drivers, unfortunately these are accompanied with annoying beeps and tones.
Vibration motors help give silent information to the driver, or augment the audio only warnings.
5.6 Operation:
ELECTRO FLUX Vibratory Motor is specially designed Energy efficiency Motor, having Un
balanced weight at both end of the shaft. Rotation of Un balanced weight at shaft end causes
vibration.

By changing their lead angle, various screening patterns are obtained to suit different application.

CAPACITOR & RESISTOR
6.1 Introduction of Capacitor
A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores electrical energy in
an electric field. The effect of a capacitor is known as capacitance. While capacitance exists
between any two electrical conductors of a circuit in sufficiently close proximity, a capacitor is
specifically designed to provide and enhance this effect for a variety of practical applications by
consideration of size, shape, and positioning of closely spaced conductors, and the intervening
dielectric material. A capacitor was there for historically first known as an electric condenser.
The physical form and construction of practical capacitors vary widely and many capacitor types are
in common use. Most capacitors contain at least two electrical conductors often in the form of
metallic plates or surfaces separated by a dielectric medium. The conductors may be foils, thin
films, or sintered beads of metal or conductive electrolyte. The nonconducting dielectric acts to
increase the capacitor's charge capacity. Materials commonly used as dielectrics
include glass, ceramic, plastic film, paper, mica, and oxide layers. Capacitors are widely used as
parts of electrical circuits in many common electrical devices. Unlike a resistor, an ideal capacitor
does not dissipate energy.
When two conductors experience a potential difference, for example, when a capacitor is attached
across a battery, an electric field develops across the dielectric, causing a net positive charge to
collect on one plate and net negative charge to collect on the other plate. No current actually flows
through the dielectric instead, the effect is a displacement of charges through the source circuit. If
the condition is maintained sufficiently long, this displacement current through the battery seizes.
However, if a time-varying voltage is applied across the leads of the capacitor, the source
experiences an ongoing current due to the charging and discharging cycles of the capacitor.
Capacitance is defined as the ratio of the electric charge Q on each conductor to the potential
difference V between them. The unit of capacitance in the International System of Units (SI) is
the farad (F), which is equal to one coulomb per volt (1 C/V). Capacitance values of typical
capacitors for use in general electronics range from about 1 pF (10−12
F) to about 1 mF (10−3
F).
6.2 Operation:
A capacitor consists of two conductors separated by a non-conductive region. The non-conductive
region can either be a vacuum or an electrical insulator material known as a dielectric. Examples
of dielectric media are glass, air, paper, and even a semiconductor depletion region chemically

41 | P a g e
identical to the conductors. A capacitor is assumed to be self-contained and isolated, with no
net electric charge and no influence from any external electric field. The conductors thus hold equal
and opposite charges on their facing surfaces, and the dielectric develops an electric field.
In SI units, a capacitance of one farad means that one coulomb of charge on each conductor causes
a voltage of one volt across the device.
An ideal capacitor is wholly characterized by a constant capacitance C, defined as the ratio of charge
±Q on each conductor to the voltage V between them:
Figure 6.1 Capacitor-Plate Separation
Because the conductors (or plates) are close together, the opposite charges on the conductors
attract one another due to their electric fields, allowing the capacitor to store more charge for a
given voltage than if the conductors were separated, giving the capacitor a large capacitance.
Sometimes charge build-up affects the capacitor mechanically, causing its capacitance to vary.
In this case, capacitance is defined in terms of incremental changes:
6.3 Networks
For capacitors in parallel
Capacitors in a parallel configuration each have the same applied voltage. Their
capacitances add up. Charge is apportioned among them by size. Using the schematic
diagram to visualize parallel plates, it is apparent that each capacitor contributes to the total
surface area.

42 | P a g e
Several capacitors in parallel
For capacitors in series
Several capacitors in series
Figure 6.2 Capacitor Series and parallel
Connected in series, the schematic diagram reveals that the separation distance, not the plate
area, adds up. The capacitors each store instantaneous charge build-up equal to that of every
other capacitor in the series. The total voltage difference from end to end is apportioned to
each capacitor according to the inverse of its capacitance. The entire series acts as a
capacitor smaller than any of its components.
Capacitors are combined in series to achieve a higher working voltage, for example for
smoothing a high voltage power supply. The voltage ratings, which are based on plate
separation, add up, if capacitance and leakage currents for each capacitor are identical. In
such an application, on occasion, series strings are connected in parallel, forming a matrix.
The goal is to maximize the energy storage of the network without overloading any
capacitor. For high-energy storage with capacitors in series, some safety considerations
must be applied to ensure one capacitor failing and leaking current does not apply too much
voltage to the other series capacitors.
6.4 Introduction of Resistor
A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a
circuit element. In electronic circuits, resistors are used to reduce current flow, adjust signal levels,
to divide voltages, bias active elements, and terminate transmission lines, among other uses. High-
power resistors that can dissipate many watts of electrical power as heat may be used as part of
motor controls, in power distribution systems, or as test loads for generators. Fixed resistors have

43 | P a g e
resistances that only change slightly with temperature, time or operating voltage. Variable resistors
can be used to adjust circuit elements (such as a volume control or a lamp dimmer), or as sensing
devices for heat, light, humidity, force, or chemical activity.
Resistors are common elements of electrical networks and electronic circuits and are ubiquitous
in electronic equipment. Practical resistors as discrete components can be composed of various
compounds and forms. Resistors are also implemented within integrated circuits.
The electrical function of a resistor is specified by its resistance: common commercial resistors are
manufactured over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude. The nominal value of the
resistance falls within the manufacturing tolerance, indicated on the component.
Figure 6.3 Resistor

44 | P a g e
6.5 Operation
Figure 6.4 Concept
The hydraulic analogy compares electric current flowing through circuits to water flowing
through pipes. When a pipe (left) is clogged with hair (right), it takes a larger pressure to
achieve the same flow of water. Pushing electric current through a large resistance is like
pushing water through a pipe clogged with hair: It requires a larger push (voltage) to drive
the same flow (electric current).
6.6 Ohm's law
The behavior of an ideal resistor is dictated by the relationship specified by Ohm's law:
 Ohm's law states that the voltage (V) across a resistor is proportional to the current (I),
where the constant of proportionality is the resistance (R). For example, if a
300 ohm resistor is attached across the terminals of a 12 volt battery, then a current of 12 /
300 = 0.04 amperes flows through that resistor.
 Practical resistors also have some inductance and capacitance which affect the relation
between voltage and current in alternating current circuits.
 The ohm (symbol: Ω) is the SI unit of electrical resistance, named after Georg Simon Ohm.
An ohm is equivalent to a volt per ampere. Since resistors are specified and manufactured

45 | P a g e
over a very large range of values, the derived units of milliohm (1 mΩ = 10−3
Ω), kilohm
(1 kΩ = 103
Ω), and megohm (1 MΩ = 106
Ω) are also in common usage.
6.7 Series and parallel resistors
The total resistance of resistors connected in series is the sum of their individual resistance values.
The total resistance of resistors connected in parallel is the reciprocal of the sum of the
reciprocals of the individual resistors.
Figure 6.5 Resistor Series and parallel
For example, a 10 ohm resistor connected in parallel with a 5 ohm resistor and
a 15 ohm resistor produces 1/1/10 + 1/5 + 1/15 ohms of resistance, or 30/11 =
2.727 ohms.
A resistor network that is a combination of parallel and series connections can
be broken up into smaller parts that are either one or the other. Some complex
networks of resistors cannot be resolved in this manner, requiring more
sophisticated circuit analysis. Generally, the Y-Δ transform, or matrix
methods can be used to solve such problems.

46 | P a g e
6.8 Power dissipation
At any instant, the power P (watts) consumed by a resistor of resistance R (ohms) is calculated
as: where V (volts) is the voltage across the resistor and I (amps) is the current flowing through it.
Using Ohm's law, the two other forms can be derived. This power is converted into heat which
must be dissipated by the resistor's package before its temperature rises excessively.
Resistors are rated according to their maximum power dissipation. Discrete resistors in solid-state
electronic systems are typically rated as 1/10, 1/8, or 1/4 watt. They usually absorb much less than
a watt of electrical power and require little attention to their power rating.
Figure 6.6An aluminum-housed power resistor rated for 50 W when heat-sinked
Resistors required to dissipate substantial amounts of power, particularly used in power supplies,
power conversion circuits, and power amplifiers, are generally referred to as power resistors; this
designation is loosely applied to resistors with power ratings of 1 watt or greater. Power resistors
are physically larger and may not use the preferred values, color codes, and external packages
described below.
If the average power dissipated by a resistor is more than its power rating, damage to the resistor
may occur, permanently altering its resistance; this is distinct from the reversible change in
resistance due to its temperature coefficient when it warms. Excessive power dissipation may raise
the temperature of the resistor to a point where it can burn the circuit board or adjacent components,
or even cause a fire. There are flameproof resistors that fail (open circuit) before they overheat
dangerously.
Since poor air circulation, high altitude, or high operating temperatures may occur, resistors may be
specified with higher rated dissipation than is experienced in service.
All resistors have a maximum voltage rating; this may limit the power dissipation for higher
resistance values

PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
7.1 Introduction
A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic
components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper
sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. Components – capacitors, resistors or active
devices – are generally soldered on the PCB. Advanced PCBs may contain components embedded
in the substrate.
PCBs can be single sided (one copper layer), double sided (two copper layers) or multi-layer (outer
and inner layers). Conductors on different layers are connected with vias. Multi-layer PCBs allow
for much higher component density.
FR-4 glass epoxy is the primary insulating substrate. A basic building block of the PCB is an FR-
4 panel with a thin layer of copper foil laminated to one or both sides. In multi-layer boards multiple
layers of material are laminated together.
Printed circuit boards are used in all but the simplest electronic products. Alternatives to PCBs
include wire wrap and point-to-point construction. PCBs require the additional design effort to lay
out the circuit, but manufacturing and assembly can be automated. Manufacturing circuits with
PCBs is cheaper and faster than with other wiring methods as components are mounted and wired
with one single part.
A minimal PCB with a single component used for easier modeling is called breakout board.[1]
When the board has no embedded components it is more correctly called a printed wiring
board (PWB) or etched wiring board. However, the term printed wiring board has fallen into
disuse. A PCB populated with electronic components is called a printed circuit
assembly (PCA), printed circuit board assembly or PCB assembly (PCBA). The IPC preferred
term for assembled boards is circuit card assembly (CCA), and for assembled backplanes it
is backplane assemblies. The term PCB is used informally both for bare and assembled boards.

7.2 Design
Figure 7.2 A board designed in 1967; the sweeping curves in the traces are evidence of freehand design using
adhesive tape
Initially PCBs were designed manually by creating a photomask on a clear Mylar sheet, usually at
two or four times the true size. Starting from the schematic diagram the component pin pads were
laid out on the mylar and then traces were routed to connect the pads. Rub-on dry transfers of
common component footprints increased efficiency. Traces were made with self-adhesive tape.
Pre-printed non-reproducing grids on the mylar assisted in layout. To fabricate the board, the
finished photomask was photolithographic ally reproduced onto a photoresist coating on the blank
copper-clad boards.
7.3 Pcb Designing and Fabrication Process
Modern PCBs are designed with dedicated layout software, generally in the following steps:

49 | P a g e
1. Schematic capture through an electronic design automation (EDA) tool.
2. Card dimensions and template are decided based on required circuitry and case of the PCB.
3. The positions of the components and heat sinks are determined.
4. Layer stack of the PCB is decided, with one to tens of layers depending on
complexity. Ground and power planes are decided. A power plane is the counterpart to a
ground plane and behaves as an AC signal ground while providing DC power to the circuits
mounted on the PCB. Signal interconnections are traced on signal planes. Signal planes
can be on the outer as well as inner layers. For optimal EMI performance high frequency
signals are routed in internal layers between power or ground planes.
5. Line impedance is determined using dielectric layer thickness, routing copper thickness and
trace-width. Trace separation is also taken into account in case of differential signals. Micro
strip, strip line or dual stripline can be used to route signals.
6. Components are placed. Thermal considerations and geometry are taken into
account. Vias and lands are marked.
7. Signal traces are routed. Electronic design automation tools usually create clearances and
connections in power and ground planes automatically.
8. Gerber files are generated for manufacturing.

LED
8.1 Introduction Of LED
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a two-lead semiconductor light source. It is a p–n junction diode,
which emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads, electrons are
able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons.
This effect is called electroluminescence, and the color of the light (corresponding to the energy of
the photon) is determined by the energy band gap of the semiconductor.An LED is often small in
area (less than 1 mm2) and integrated optical components may be used to shape its radiation
pattern.

CONCLUSION
This Project has been an attempt to develop portable Device to help Blind Or Low vision Peoples.
This device has a buzzer and Vibrating motor and it will help blind people with the sound and
vibration. The Haptic Proximity Module (HPM) seeks to enable people with low vision, or other
vision impairments, to engage with their direct surroundings through vibration feedback from a
range detector, and do so cheaply with readily available components.
The aim of this project is to share the parts and process of creating this device in the hope that it
will get shared and improved to become something beyond my current imagination! I also have
hopes for it to allow one person to enable another through making this project and giving it away
to someone who is experiencing vision impairment or loss, such as Low Vision.
Interface was Successfully Developed.
