A-SGA04 - Gate Guardian An Ultrasonic-based Smart Gate entry system

🧠 mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Project Overview:
GateGuardian mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> is a smart gate automation system
designed to control access based on proximity detection using an ultrasonic
sensor. The system automatically opens a servo-driven gate when an object
(e.g., a person or vehicle) is detected within a specified range. It provides visual
(LCD & RGB LEDs) and audio feedback (buzzer) and ensures that the
gate closes safely after a short duration.
This project
demonstrates real-world applications in smart homes, schools, parking
systems, and industrial zones, promoting contactless access, automation,
and energy-efficient design. mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">

🔧 mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Key Features:

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">Proximity Detection: mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Detects approaching objects using
  an ultrasonic sensor.

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">Automated Gate Control: mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Opens and closes a servo
  motor-operated gate based on object distance.

• User Feedback:

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">LCD display mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> shows distance and gate status.

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">RGB LEDs mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> indicate gate condition (Red =
  Closed, Green = Open).

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">Buzzer mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> provides an alert while the gate
  is opening.

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">Security-Oriented Logic: mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Only allows access if an object is
  within the defined range.

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">Energy Efficient: mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Components are activated only when
  necessary.

🔌 mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> Working Principle:

1. Ultrasonic Sensing:

• The ultrasonic sensor emits a
  pulse and waits for it to reflect back.

• Using the echo time, it calculates
  the distance of the object.

1. Gate Logic:

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">If the object is mso-bidi-font-family:"Cambria Math"">≤ mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> 50 cm mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">, the gate opens via the servo
  motor (rotated to 90°).

• A buzzer sounds during the
  gate opening process.

• After 2 seconds, the gate
  closes automatically (rotated back to 0°).

1. User Interface:

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">LCD mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> shows distance and gate status.

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">RGB LEDs mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji""> give visual feedback (Green =
  Open, Red = Closed).

• mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">If no object is detected mso-bidi-font-family:"Segoe UI Emoji"">, the system stays idle and
  displays "No Object Found".
