The probability of having microorganisms survive on a surface or item subjected to treatment is very low; decontaminating an object or material makes it safe to handle.
While there are many techniques capable of effectively disinfecting surfaces, not many can be used independently without personnel, thus making the whole process of monitoring and cleaning tiresome.
The new AutoSteri from maker David Bershadsky was designed to handle and take the stress of sterilization off you. The AutoSteri simply detects the presence of a person in a particular place and disinfects the area after the person leaves the place. Such an interesting and highly useful you would agree, particularly during this time of the Covid-19 pandemic where regard to hygiene and sterilization cannot be over-emphasized. The AutoSteri can be used to sterilize almost everything, hallways, offices, elevators, delivery packages, and many more.
Some Of The Key Components To Be Used For This Project Include :
- A breadboard-friendly Arduino Nano R3 board
- 1x generic PIR motion sensor
- A high power UV LED
- 1x 100 Ohms resistor
- One general-purpose NPN transistor, which could be replaced with a motor driver or relay.
- Breadboard or custom PCB
- Jumper wires and
- Through-hole 5.5 mm power jack
- Software Apps: Supports Arduino IDE
