Description
Summary:This study aims to develop a tool that can be used to detect obstacles for blind people. This tool also uses the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor. The method used in the manufacture of blind assistive prototypes in the form of sticks using Arduino and Ultrasonic Sensors for blind people with the method obtained by hardware design techniques used consists of ATMEGA328 as the main controller, Ultrasonic sensor HS-SRF04 as detecting objects and LM2596 Regulator modules used for lowering the DC voltage level, this study has produced a prototype design stick for blind people using sensor technology to help alert and move blind people who are able to detect objects at a minimum distance of 7 centimeters with output in the form of sound and vibration. The resulting stick has a frame consisting of 0.5-inch PVC material consisting of two parts, the stick rod and the sensor unit.
