  1. AUTOMATED GARAGE DOOR SYSTEM Johnny Gong, Lachlan Pedersen, Jael Lumba, Andrew Li, Michael Harvey Integrated Engineering – University of British Columbia OVERVIEW COMPONENTS PROCESS Arduino: Microprocessor used to control the system X-Bee: RF transceiver for communication between the car and garage units Ultrasonic sensor: Confirms car has left garage Leaf switch: Determines the state of the garage door and the seat belt Garage Door Remote: Allows car unit to open the garage door • Our Automated Garage Door System makes the daily use of a residential garage door setup more convenient and secure. The system monitors multiple sensors around the garage and car to determine if the door needs to be opened or closed. • Two Arduino microcontrollers determine the desired state of the door using sensor inputs, and can communicate with each other using radio frequency modules. Comparable automated garage door systems are timer based, which can not adapt to a user’s varying needs. Stage 1: User Enters Car •Leaf switch detects when the seatbelt is fastened •Communication initiates between modules •Garage Arduino opens the door Stage 2: Car Leaves •Ultrasonic sensor detects the car Leaving the garage •Garage Arduino closes door •Car exits range and communication is Lost Stage 3: Car Returns •Car re-enters communication range •Car Arduino attempts to open door until Opener is in range •Garage unit detects the door opening •Car enters the garage Stage 4: Shutdown •User manually closes the garage door •Garage unit detects door closing •System enters sleep mode 1 2 SYSTEM LOGIC ADVANTAGES •Eliminates the possibility of leaving garage door open when leaving •Reduces time spent waiting for garage door to open •User friendly installation process •Requires minimal user input •Unobtrusive to a user’s habits 3 TESTING AND RESULTS 4 The major components of our system, the X-Bee modules, provide a range of approximately 200-300 feet in perfect conditions. To reduce interference with the garage door, and maintain the X-Bees range, it ismounted outside the garage. The range is large enough to allow the garage door opener to open the door before the car pulls up. The ultrasonic sensor has consistently detected when the vehicle passes by the garage door with a range of approximately two meters. • With all our components in operation, the Arduino microcontrollers have proficiently handled the operations required to run our program. CONCLUSION Our system design has successfully accomplished the operations we specified it to do. An attribute our system has which would make it marketable to consumers is that it can be universally installed and operated by anyone using a residential garage door opener. In the future, an automated system could be implemented with the use of generic RF transmitters and receivers in order to cut down on the costs of the Xbeemodules.
