This document summarizes an automatic gate project using an Arduino, photocell sensor, and ultrasonic sensor. The project aims to create an automatic gate that opens when a car approaches, detected by the photocell and ultrasonic sensors. The document outlines the tools and materials used, including the Arduino, sensors, servo motor, buzzer, LED, and other electronics. It provides details on how the sensors, Arduino controller, and servo motor are wired and programmed to detect movement and open the gate automatically when an object is near. In summary, the document presents an automatic gate system that utilizes sensors and an Arduino microcontroller to detect vehicles and control a servo motor gate opening.

3. Introduction
Instrumentation is a collective term for
measuring instruments used for
indicating, measuring and recording
physical quantities, and has its origins in
the art and science of scientific
instrument-making.
Nowadays, as technology develops,
instrumentation is often used in various
fields of our life. So, in our project, we
make “Automatic Gate with Photocell
Sensor and Safety Ultrasonic Sensor”
with using arduino as a controller.

6. PHOTOCELL
SENSOR
6
A photocell is any of a wide range of
sensors that react based on the presence of
light or electromagnetic energy. They can be
found in many different forms, from solar
panels that use light to generate electricity, to
photoresistors, which shift in resistance based
on how much light is present. This device is
one of the most important modern
advancements, allowing for a whole range of
new technologies to be created.

7. Ultrasonic sensor
7
As the name indicates, ultrasonic
sensors measure distance by using
ultrasonic waves.
The sensor head emits an ultrasonic wave
and receives the wave reflected back from
the target. Ultrasonic Sensors measure
the distance to the target by measuring
the time between the emission and
reception.

8. SERVO MOTOR
8
A servo motor is a rotary actuator or linear
actuator that allows for precise control of angular or
linear position, velocity and acceleration. It consists
of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position
feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated
controller, often a dedicated module designed
specifically for use with servomotors

9. BUZZER
9
A buzzer or beeper is
an audio signalling device, which may
be mechanical, electromechanical,
or piezoelectric (piezo for short). Typical
uses of buzzers and beepers include alarm
devices, timers, and confirmation of user
input such as a mouse click or keystroke.

10. LED
10
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor light
source that emits light when current flows through it.

HOW TO MAKE THE
PROJECT

13. DESIGN
PROJECT
▫ Prepare tools and materials
needed, there are: Ice
cream sticks, wood, acrylic
paint, and brush.
▫ Cut and stack the ice cream
sticks into the shape of the
house, fence, and gate.
▫ Used wood as a base.
▫ Color it with acrylic paint.

15. HOW TO
WORK?
The LDR sensor will be
stored under the road, so that if the
LDR sensor is covered by a missed
car, the gate will automatically
open.
