Sound Pattern Locking System Proposal

This document is a project proposal for a sound pattern locking system to be built using an Arduino. The system will use a speaker and microphone to detect custom sound patterns to unlock a solenoid lock. It will have potential applications for dorms, hotels, and secret doors. The project aims to give the students a better understanding of Arduino and sensors while developing something novel and relevant to security. It will require an Arduino, relay module, speaker, solenoid lock, and other basic electronic components. The students plan to work together and test iterations of the system over five weeks to demonstrate a working prototype.

Project Title: Sound Pattern Locking system

Project abstract: must be structured in 3 sentences answering the following questions


Motivation
1) why do you want to build this project? *passing the course is a necessary, but not sufficient motivation

In this project we build a creative sound pattern locking system,


Which opens by detecting certain sound pattern which is also
customizable and simple. This project helps us to have a better
understanding of arduino and sensors.

2) Is there any relevance to a problem of human society? If not, what is exciting / novel / cool about your idea?

Yes,this system can be used in dorm areas , hotel rooms, etc. This
can also be used for secret door locks and can also be customized
that makes it more secure and is kind of cool.

3) How is the Arduino relevant to your project? Remember – the focus of this project is to use the Arduino: a self-
contained microcontroller with limited resources (32kB of program memory and 2kB of RAM). You may have to
optimize your program code to get it to run reliably on the Arduino. If your project requires a high end microcontroller
with larger program + data memory, have you looked into purchasing a high end board? (see item 1 in the detail
section below)

Our system is simple and use, less memory so arduino is a perfect


choice since it requires minimum power consumption and an easily
programmable interface. It is available in a cheap amount and
provides simple interfacing to analog circuits

Project proposal Detail:


1) What are the parts required for your project (have you identified a source for your parts?)
PH435 Project Proposal Page 2 of 3

Our project consists of arduino uno, relay module, speaker,


solenoid lock, breadboard, wires, buttons, leds, etc.

2) Hardware block diagram. Give a diagram indicating what are the major chunks of hardware involved
in your project, other than the Arduino itself. Do you need a separate power supply? Are you
planning to power the Arduino with a battery (9V)? Have you calculated the power required to run
your project (Arduino + extra hardware)? How long do you expect the battery to last?

3) Planned division of work between the two group members


For now we have decided to do things together so We will
equally work together on each parts.

4) Provide project work milestones. We will be checking your progress as per these milestones during
the weekly lab meetings to make sure you are on track to complete the project on time

Week 1 ending Sep 30:

Ideation and parts requirements

Week 2 ending Oct 7:


PH435 Project Proposal Page 3 of 3

Theory reading

Week 3 ending Oct 14:

Purchasing of parts/ 3D printing (if required)

Week 4 ending Oct 21:

Assembling and testing

Week 5 ending Oct 28 <overlaps with lab endsem exam>

Will Rectify the problems and look for improvements

Reports + Demos + viva will be scheduled during week of Nov 1 - 5

Backup plan:
It’s important to think ahead and plan for failure.
If your initial project idea doesn’t work (parts not available in time / project too complex / other reason)
what’s your plan to scale down the project idea and present a finished product for the demo + viva?

In the worst case, we can turn it into a non-customizable door locking system.
