MICROCONTROLLER BASED AUTOMATIC HAND DRYER SYSTEM

ABSTRACT
This system “MICROCONTROLLER BASED AUTOMATIC HAND DRYER SYSTEM” comprises of many modules which are: The Sensor/Input Unit, Microcontroller Unit and the Output Interface. The sensor detects when the hand approaches the nozzle. Once the approaching hand is detected, the hand dryer produces a very hot to dry the hand as well as displaying “busy” on the display unit of the design. Once the hand is removed, the hot air automatically stops and the display unit displays “idle”. In this design I have implored the use of both hardware and software to bring about the entire project. The hardware components are solely coordinated by the AT89S51 micro controller chip while the  program is embedded in the chip.
