Project Overview
The project aims to develop a cost-effective and efficient This project leverages the versatility of Arduino UNO to
solution for protecting cars from rain and other weather create a customized solution that can be adapted to various
elements. The system will automatically deploy and retract a car models and cover designs. The rain sensor provides
car cover based on real-time rain detection. reliable precipitation detection, triggering the automatic
cover mechanism.
Essential Components
Arduino UNO Rain Sensor
The microcontroller board Detects precipitation and
serves as the brain of the triggers the cover mechanism.
system, controlling the entire
operation.
DC Motor
Motor Driver: Controls the motor's
direction and speed.
Arduino Programming
1 The Arduino code implements a simple logic that
continuously checks for rain detection. If precipitation is
detected, the code triggers the motor to deploy the cover.
2 When the rain stops, the code waits for a set period to
ensure the weather has cleared before retracting the cover.
This prevents unnecessary cover movements due to brief
showers.
Arduino Processing
2
The Arduino receives the signal and interprets it as rain.
Motor Activation
3
The Arduino triggers the motor to deploy the cover.
