The Smart Laundry Bot is a simple Arduino project that protects clothes from sudden rain. It uses a rain sensor to check if it’s raining. When the sensor detects rain, a servo motor pulls the clothesline back to keep the laundry dry. When there is no rain, the servo moves the clothesline out so clothes can dry in the sun.
This project is great for beginners. It teaches important concepts like reading digital input, controlling servos, and using if-else logic. The parts are simple: an Arduino, a rain sensor, and a servo motor. It’s a fun and useful way to learn how hardware and code work together.
The Smart Laundry Bot shows how we can use technology to make life easier. It encourages students and makers to build helpful tools using basic electronics. It works well in places with unpredictable weather and is a good start for learning smart home ideas.
Components:
This project uses a Servo MG90D 360 to rotate the clothesline mechanism. A Rain Sensor is connected to an Arduino Uno R3, which reads the signal and controls the servo motor. Jumper wires are used to connect the components on a breadboard or directly to the Arduino.
During testing and coding, a Type B USB cable powers the Arduino and uploads the program. For portable use, the system runs on 8 AA Alkaline Batteries in a Battery Holder, supplying 12V. This combination of components makes the setup practical and adaptable for weather-responsive automation.
