I am from Thessaloniki Greece! I love the world of electronics in every step of my life! I am electronic engineer and my hobby is my job!

Intro: 3 floor elevator arduino

Hi there.

Me and 2 friends created this elevator for the grandmother of one of my friends.

George knows very well the metal construction and it is his job.

Bagios is electrician and i am electronic engineer. And voila!

The main board contains the necessary i/o optoisolation and the arduino mini pcb.

3 floors-3 buttons on each floor-3 sensors on each floor-3 buttons and an alarm inside the elevator and 2 terminal safety switches are included for the main installation.

The motor is 230vac and the main board drives it via 2 relay outside the main board to avoid noises from contact relays.But before the current reach the motor it passes
through 2 terminal switches in the upper and lower construction.

SIx optoisolated inputs and 2 outputs

arduino mini

a pcb mini siren

a bridge rectification stage so to operate with ac power.

Step 2: Arduino code
To program the mini you need a usb to serial module.

/*
Elevator project with arduino pro mini 328 5v 8mhz - This is a simple elevator project using a single-phase ac motor. - There are 3 floors and a button is placed in every
floor and are connected in paraller with 3 button inside the elevator. - 3 proximity switches are attached on every floor to indicate where the elevator is and to stop it. - A
buzzer is connected to warn for movement or -alarm stop inside the elevator is attached directly to the reset button. code by:Fanis Katmadas site:oramasolutions.com

Step 3: Electrical wiring
This is the electrical diagram.

I would like to inform you that before 2 days i launched a campaign in indiegogo with a beutiful arduino project.

if you want check it out and share it..

Thanks a lot.....

This is a great project for your grandmother. She must be very happy (and the ride looks thrilling!)

Thanks my friend...
Oh yes the elevator helped her because is to old for the stairs...
Imagine that the grandpa is 92 years old...
Now they don't have to leave their home for the remaining of their life because of the difficulty of the stairs...
