Laser tripwire-based safety techniques use low-energy lasers and easy expertise to set off the alarm system. This alarm might be auditory, visible or cellular notification by way of IoT based mostly system. These techniques are utterly authorized in any nation until the laser rays will not be disturbing the general public. Alternatively, a laser fence or laser wall makes use of a excessive vitality laser (slicing laser) to injure our bodies passing the laser beam. This may be unlawful in many of the regulated international locations when utilized by a civilian.
On this article, we’re speaking concerning the first kind of gadget improvement which is totally authorized and secure. Laser tripwire-based safety techniques might be developed utilizing transistors or ICs. Nevertheless, they’re primitive and their upgradation to ship a cellular notification isn’t attainable. On this article, we’re sharing the system which is primary i.e. simply triggers a buzzer alarm. That is a straightforward system and might be constructed by the children. The components we’d like are:
- ESP32 or Arduino UNO Board
- Laser Diode Module KY-008
- Buzzer
- LDR
- Resistors (10k)
- Push Button Swap
- Bread Board
- Jumper wires
Working Precept of Laser Safety System
The precept is similar as was in Flip On LED in Darkish With LDR and Arduino. The LDR is delicate to mild, when the laser cannot attain LDR, the voltage output modifications, which finally triggers the alarm. The challenge works on the precept of interruption. If the sunshine is interrupted the buzzer will begin. We’re including a push button to reset the system.
Code and Circuit Diagram
Initially, I wrote the code and later realized that the troublesome half is drawing the circuit diagram and protecting it easy. After looking a bit, I discovered that Utsource Half already revealed the factor on maker.professional which I wished to indicate you.
Lastly, I modified their code to assist ESP32 with future WiFi assist. This code is for Arduino UNO and can be utilized with ESP32 (when commented out). For ESP32, any of the ADC1 GPIO pins can be utilized. We will use GPIO 35 (ADC1 CH7).

int laserPin = 3; // for ESP32 //int sensorPin = 35; // for Arduino UNO int sensorPin = A0; int buttonPin = 12; int buzzerPin = 11;
//regulate the worth int laserThreshold = 10;
void setup() { pinMode(laserPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT_PULLUP); Serial.start(9600); }
boolean alarmState = false;
void loop() { if (! alarmState) { delay(1000); digitalWrite(laserPin, HIGH); delay(10); unsigned lengthy startTime = millis(); whereas (millis() – startTime < 1000) { int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); Serial.println(sensorValue); if (sensorValue > laserThreshold) { alarmState = true; break; } delay(10); } digitalWrite(laserPin, LOW); } else { tone(buzzerPin, 440); if (! digitalRead(buttonPin)) { alarmState = false; noTone(buzzerPin); } delay(10); } } |
My unique factor’s circuit diagram was this one. Vcc of the laser module must be related to the facility supply. This isn’t required for this challenge however I revealed it for self-reminder.
