Introduction Concept/Theories of the Design At present, there is a big number of cars produce every year. Others dont have time to check on their car if it is still clean or functional. Time became very essential to everyone nowadays. So we propose to develop such experiment to minimize the use of time and effort of mankind. We want to develop a carwash that is automated by computer and other hardware that will operate automatically. With the use of sensors and gizduino we plan to make computerized carwash that is fast reliable and ecofriendly. There is no need for employees, you just need someone to operate or maintain the system to function properly.

EXPERIMENT ACTIVITIES

3.1. (Power Supply) In this experiment we will build a DC power supply to power up the next experiment. We will design a Power Supply for the powering a DC motor and it will be tested using multimeter.

3.2. (Motor) In this experiment we will control the speed of a DC motor, we will design a simple motor driver to drive it. Another thing, is to know the required working voltage of a motor to work. It will be tested using a multimeter.

3.3. (LABview and Gizduino(microcontroller)) The experiment will just show the connection of the hardware Gizduino to the software (LABview). This experiment will be the brain or the core of our project.

3.4. (SERVO) The experiment is just like experiment number 2 but the difference is that SERVO motor can control the speed more accurate than motor. This experiment will conduct with the use of LABview and Gizduino.

3.5. (SENSOR) This experiment will make the automation of the water sprinklers and the brushes to be successful. The sensor will use LDR and laser to cut the cost of our project it will be measured using LABview and Gizduino.
