INTRODUCTION

In our society, a significant number of individuals live

with visual impairments, facing numerous challenges in

their daily activities and mobility. Despite rapid

technological advancements, affordable and effective

devices that can aid these individuals are still scarce. To

address this gap, the Smart Blind Stick has been

developed as a practical solution to enhance the

mobility and independence of visually impaired people.

"In this first step, we set up the Arduino Uno and
connect it to the breadboard. A MOSFET is added
FRIT 1
to the breadboard, along with a resistor, to prepare
for controlling a motor or lock mechanism. This
forms the base of our smart lock project
In the next step, LEDs are connected to the
breadboard to indicate the status of the system.
The MOSFET is fully integrated to control the
FRIT 2
motor, which will act as the lock. The motor’s wires
are connected to the MOSFET and the breadboard
power rails, which are connected to the Arduino."
"Finally, an RFID module is added to the circuit.
This module reads RFID tags and sends the data to
the Arduino for processing. With this setup, the FRIT 3
motor will activate only if an authorized tag is
detected by the RFID module, creating a secure
and efficient smart locking system."

CONCLUSIO
N

In this project, we successfully designed a smart lock system utilizing an RFID reader and an
Arduino control circuit to enhance security by distinguishing between authorized and
unauthorized users, ensuring only valid access to restricted areas. This system provides a reliable
and practical solution for modern access control. In the future, we plan to expand its capabilities
by integrating Wi-Fi connectivity and mobile phone control, offering users a more flexible and
convenient way to manage access remotely.
