Abstract

Everyday Muslims need to prepare for their five daily prayers and usually they will use six to nine liters of water during ablution. Portable ablution machine with solar system would save water every time they perform their ablution. This system will control the flow of water during the ablution ritual. The objective of this project is to design a portable ablution machine that use solar panel as power source and to design a system that can minimize the waste of the water when performing ablution or other. PIC16F877A microcontroller will be used as controller to control the 12V Solenoid Valve. The 12V Solenoid Valve will control the flow of the water when sensor detect the user hand. The sensor that will be used to detect user hand is infrared sensor. Furthermore, solar panel will be used for power supply and support by 12V lead acid battery during night. Both of this power supply are control by battery charger controller. The program is written using C language in MPLAB software for PIC compiler and the result and analysis of this project will be described in this report.
