SMART BLIND STICK WITH ULTRASONIC SENSOR

Abstract
The main aim of this project is to assist the blind persons without the human need. It is well
known that the blind people carry a hand stick with them whenever they need a support. Sometimes
even when they use this stick, there is no guarantee that the blind persons are safe and secured in
reaching their destinations. There may be an obstacle in their path but is not encountered by the
person with the help of the stick. Thus, the people may be injured if the obstacle is big enough or
dangerous. Thus, a design has been developed to assist the blind and provide them a clear path.
The system consists of ultra sonic sensor fixed to the users stick. While the user moves the stick
in the forward direction, the ultrasonic sensor fixed to the stick tries to detect the obstacle if any
present in the path. If the sensor detects the obstacle, the output of the receiver triggers and this
change will be detected by the microcontroller since the output of the receivers is given as inputs to
the microcontroller. Thus, the microcontroller immediately alerts the buzzer as soon it receives the
triggered output from any of the sensors. Thus, the user can change the direction of the stick, in any
other direction to avoid any kind of injury, as soon the buzzer is activated. The entire controlling unit
will be fixed to the hand stick.
The system not only gives the buzzer sound with the same intensity but it gives the sound which
depends on the distance between the user and the obstacle. We can even add the voice module
which can give the messages that depicts the distance of the obstacle from the user.

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE TOOLS:

Software Tools:
Keil compiler
Orcad.
Proload.
Hardware tools:
AT89S52
ULTROSNIC SENSOR
BUZZER (OR) VOICE MODULE

Voice record and play back device:

This circuit offers true single-chip voic e recording, non volatile storage and Playback capabil
ity for 40 to 60 seconds. It supports both random and sequential access of multiple messages. It
can be u sed in three different modes. The device is ideal for use in portable voice recorders.
VII.

Speaker:
It is 8 ohms speaker and is connected to the voice recorder and it spokes out the

corresponding voice when Distance measuring sensor detects t e obstacle. For example if Top
side sensor detects some obstacle on its side it sends the signal to the microc ontroller and
program is executed and it sends the sig nal to voice recorder control and master pin and the
voice already recorded in voice recorder will speaks out through the speaker Top Top Top
