Applications of the
Smart Blind Stick
Enhancing mobility for
the visually impaired.
Real-time obstacle
detection and alerts.
Adaptable for partial
vision loss.
Empowering safer
navigation for the blind.

the circuit diagram.
Assembly & Working
Components mounted on PVC pipe, along
with ultrasonic sensor at front for optimal
detection.
Arduino Nano processes sensor data,
triggering buzzer and LED when objects are
detected.
Code functions include measureDistance()
for distance calculation, and tasks like
task_triggerBuzzer() and task_triggerLed() to
manage alerts.
More detailed code explanation is given in {Distance = (Time taken by the signal to Hit
and bounce back / 2) / 29.1}
the tutorial
How Does It Work?
The ultrasonic sensor emits
waves that bounce off objects
and return to the sensor.
The Arduino processes the time
it takes for the waves to return
and calculates the distance to
the object.
Buzzer: Emits a beep, increasing
Distance Calculation: The program
as the obstacle gets closer. calculates distance using the time
taken for sound waves to return.
LED: Flashes faster as the object
nears.
