Project Idea:
This project uses IR sensors with an 8051 microcontroller to detect obstacles and switch loads automatically. When an object interrupts the IR beam, the microcontroller activates a relay that powers a connected device (e.g., a lamp). It demonstrates real-world automation used in conveyor systems and industrial applications.
Components:
8051 Microcontroller
IR Transmitter & Receiver
Crystal Oscillator
Resistors, Capacitors, Transistors
