During the winter at Glasgow, our team found roads always icy and slippery. Some people slip on roads because of ice and snow. So we decided to construct a system to prevent these accidents.
This project aims to prevent the formation of ice or snow by using brine as the anti-icing agent. Utilising the humidity and temperature sensor to detect the environmental conditions, the sprinkler spreads the brine water which is controlled by Raspberry Pi. IR sensor is used to detect people and animals. When it detects people, the sprinkler turns off.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
