Smart Blind Stick Project Report

The document describes a smart stick designed to assist blind people in navigation. It uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect obstacles within 1-2 meters and then activates a buzzer and vibration motor to warn the user. The stick was created using an Arduino board, ultrasonic sensor, buzzer, vibration motor, and battery. When an object is detected, the code makes the buzzer beep and motor vibrate to alert the user. The aim is to allow blind people to navigate safely and independently.

Topic: Smart Stick for Blind Peoples

Submitted by: Ankit Tripathi Submitted to :Mr.Sandeep Jain


Abstract:

• The project describes ultrasonic blind walking stick with the use of
Arduino uno. According to World Health Organization (WHO), 30 million
people are permanently blind and 2.85 million people with vision
impairment.
• If you notice them, you can very well know about it they can’t walk
without the help of other. One has to ask guidance to reach their
destination. They have to face more struggles in their life daily life. Using
this blind stick, a person can walk more confidently. This stick detects the
object in front of the person and give response
INTRODUCTION:

• In this Project I made a Smart Stick For Blind


Peoples..
• In this Smart stick there is a sensor which senses
the obstacles or walls from 1 or half meter range
then this stick vibrates & makes buzz sound.
• This Smart Stick warns the blind person that
there is an obstacle or wall in-front of him/her.
• Then that person will be warned from obstacle or
wall.
LITERATURE SURVEY:

• Smart walking stick - An electronic approach to assist


visually disabled persons by Mohammad Hazzaz
Mahmud, RanaSaha, and Sayemul Islam in this paper
are the sensor based circuitry consisting of
sensors ,Ultrasonic Sensor is used to detect
obstacles, A PIC16F690 microcontroller reads these
sensors and drives a buzzer, a LED and a motor with
PWM. An audio output is designated by a buzzer
alarm.
Component Require:

• Audino UNO
• Ultrasonic Sensor - HC-SR04 (Generic)
• Buzzer
• 9V battery (generic)
• 9V Battery Clip
• Audino IDE
Circuit Diagram
Steps to make this project:

• Take Arduino Nano, Buzzer, Ultrasonic sensor, Vibrating


motor, battery, switch, and a wooden stick or plastic pipe.
• Take stick and place ultrasonic sensor on it. Connect the
Jumper wires on it.
• Then place Buzzer and Vibrating motor on the stick.
• Connect the jumper wires to buzzer and Vibrating motor.
• Do connections from circuit diagram.
• Place the Arduino Nano, Battery and switch on the stick.
• Upload the code.
Code:
• / defines pins numbers
• const int trigPin = 9;
• const int echoPin = 10;
• const int buzzer = 11;
• const int ledPin = 13;
• // defines variable
• long duration;
• int distance;
• int safetyDistance;
• void setup() {
• pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // Sets the trigPin as an Output
• pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // Sets the echoPin as an Input
• pinMode(buzzer, OUTPUT);
• pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
• Serial.begin(9600); // Starts the serial communication
• }
• void loop() {
• // Clears the trigPin
• digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
• delayMicroseconds(2);
Code:
• // Sets the trigPin on HIGH state for 10 micro seconds
• digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
• delayMicroseconds(10);
• digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
• // Reads the echoPin, returns the sound wave travel time in microseconds
• duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
• // Calculating the distance
• distance= duration*0.034/2;
• safetyDistance = distance;
• if (safetyDistance <= 5){
• digitalWrite(buzzer, HIGH);
• digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
• }
• else{
• digitalWrite(buzzer, LOW);
• digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
• }
• // Prints the distance on the Serial Monitor
• Serial.print("Distance: ");
• Serial.println(distance);
• }
CONCLUSION:
• It is worth mentioning at this point that the aim of
this study which is the design and implementation of
a smart walking stick for the blind has been fully
achieved. The Smart Stick acts as a basic platform for
the coming generation of more aiding devices to help
the visually impaired to navigate safely both indoor
and outdoor. It is effective and affordable.
• In a developing country like India, there is a need for a
cost-effective solution so that most of the people can
have an effective product as proposed in this paper.
