Abstract

Billions of people in the world are visually challenged and mainly visually disabled people has increased. This particular people find hard to explore and need assistance to move. This project is mainly guided with an objective whereby it is light in weight and capable to guide the visually disabled people to proceed with their daily live. The present cane is incomplete which has many faultiness in detecting head level obstacles and smoke in the hectic area which is harmful. Hence this multipurpose electronic cane is design to overcome the faultiness and change the traditional cane form a latest technology cane which consist of multiple devices which able to work for multiple purpose. A number researches been made in order to get familiar with the application of using arduino nano and multiple devices installed in the electronic cane. This project particularly utilises many kinds of hardware and software. Various components being uses such as, ultrasonic sensor, moisture sensor, LDR sensor, smoke detector, buzzer, speaker, vibration DC motor, Rf based wireless remote control, Mp3 Player and Arduino nano which act as heart of the system as well as Arduino IDE is the software been used to program. The testing of each components been done right after all the components been collected. The performance of the sensors and devices on the cane is tested where it performs various function according to the surrounding. The tested result is tabulated and shown whereby by the best detection of ultrasonic is from 5cm to 25cm. However it able to do detect more distance but the measurement is instable. Besides, the sensitivity of the gas sensor was analysed where the distance 5cm is much reliable in detecting the concentration of gas. Thus, this development is much reliable to assist the challenged people. Finally recommendation for this project is by adding the image processing system and also rechargeable battery in order to develop the current cane in future according to the limitation.
