Home Automation Using Hand Gesture

This document summarizes a student project on home automation using hand gestures. A wristband with an accelerometer sensor detects hand movements and sends the data to a Raspberry Pi. The Pi uses machine learning to recognize gestures and control devices like a TV via a relay module. The project aims to help people with mobility challenges operate devices hands-free. It details the hardware, software, algorithm, challenges, and contributions of team members to build a proof of concept that turns hand gestures into commands for home appliances.

System Block
Accelerometer
• Accelerometer measures the acceleration (rate of change of
velocity) in X, Y and Z axis
• Unit is m/s2 or in terms of g (9.8 m/s2)
• ADXL345 Accelerometer Sensor
• Low power, High resolution (10 bit) with +/- 2g range
• Interfaces on I2C Interface for data communication
Raspberry Pi
• Credit Card sized computer
• Low Cost
• Raspbian or Linux OS
• Specification
• 1GB RAM
• Micro SD Storage
• HDMI Port, 4 USB Ports
• 26 GPIOs available
• Supports different interfaces like UART, I2C, SPI etc.
• Python supports
• Lots of Libraries, Documentation and Community available
Relay Module

• Handles the AC Devices with the input from Digital Devices
• Normally Close (NC) – GND
• Normally Open (NO) – 120 V
• Raspberry Pi provides input using its GPIO pins
• On input High, Op will be connected to NO pin internally
Sensor Interfacing
• Raspberry Pi is connected with ADXL345 Sensor on I2C
• I2C – 2 wire Serial Protocol popular in Microcontroller
communication
• Initialize the I2C Interface
