Today’s era is all about technology. With everything going digital and automatic, the doors of the building required a modification too. You might have seen people doing extra efforts to open the large doors of garage and party halls for others. It also consumes a lot of time to wait for the doors to be opened by self or others. The automatic door opening system is a great alternative that we can use for a hassle-free experience at such places.

Not only this, but automatic doors also provide the ambiance of luxury, by using this system your house becomes a smart house, having a modern feature. Most shops and buildings are using this feature to make their place bit more attractive and modern.

How does it work?

The automatic door uses the basic functioning of IR sensors which when combined with motor driver and Arduino, makes the regulatory and accurate movement of the door work. IR Sensors or infrared sensors as we know, are capable of detecting infrared light. We used this specialty of the IR Sensors to detect the motion of the human body. As human body also emits infrared radiation, IR Sensors installed in the doorways catches the radiation whenever a person approaches or goes away from the door and conveys the same to Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino uno processes the data based on the code fed into it, and accordingly tells the motor driver to open and close the door for the person passing through it.

For better understanding, you can refer the block diagram given below, that explains the basic working of the automatic door opening mechanism.

Step 1: Collecting the Components required for this project.

Arduino UNO microcontroller
2 x IR Sensors
DVD loader
L293D motor driver IC

Connect all the components with the required wires as shown in the above diagram

Step 3: Uploading the Code in the microcontroller

Connect the Arduino UNO to PC or laptop with given USB cable.
Open Arduino IDE or download it from here
Go to tools> Board:> and select Arduino UNO

Select TOOL> PORT> COM port

Note that the port option will not be active until you connect Arduino with your laptop

If you have connected the Arduino and it is still not active then you might want to check your driver, use CH340 for Arduino

Copy and paste the code given below in the Arduino IDE and hit Upload

void setup() {
  pinMode(9,OUTPUT );
  pinMode(10,OUTPUT );
  pinMode(8, INPUT);
}
void loop() {
  if( digitalRead(8)==HIGH) {
    digitalWrite(9, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(10, LOW);
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(10, LOW);
    digitalWrite(9, LOW);
    delay(1000);
    digitalWrite(9, LOW);
    digitalWrite(10, HIGH);
    delay(1000);
  }
  else {
    digitalWrite(8, LOW);
    digitalWrite(9, LOW);
  }
}
