This project presents the design of an automated clothesline system which is made to improve the effectiveness of drying clothing. This project is implemented using Arduino microcontroller, sensors, Light Emitting Diode (LED), Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and actuators which is DC motor to control the automated process of moving the clothesline. The proposed project intends to offer a practical and cost-effective method for solar powered clothing drying. The system will retrieve in the clothesline automatically when it’s raining and retrieve out the clothes when the sun is up. In order to make that happen, a servo motor will be needed to move the clothesline. LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) sensor will be applied in the system to detect the presence of light. Rain sensor also will be used to sense when the rain drops. The LED will light up upon detecting the rain. LCD will be used to display the percentage of light. LED indicators and LCD display provide visual cues and real time information, making the system user-friendly and responsive. This innovative approach, incorporating Arduino technology, aims to improve energy conservation and user convenience in traditional clothes drying practices.
