Assignment 1 :

Auto gate control : ( Collaborative work with Chaitanya Lokhande )

Problem understanding : The Vigyan Ashram main gate was manually controlling. The mechanism generally used is lever based with weight at one end. When the driver has to pass through the gate, he needs to come out of the car, open the gate and after entering the campus he has to come out of the car and close the gate again. This was a very time-consuming process and requires a lot of effort & really uncomfortable and annoying situation.

Task :

To functionalize the main gate of Vigyan Ashram, which was operated manually.
To operate the gate using Forward and Reverse toggle switch.
To provide automatic operation of the gate using google assistant of android phone. This allows only authorized person to enter the campus.
To provide a better asthetic look to the gate.
