Abstract:
Whiteboard is a glossy white surface for making non-permanent markings. It is known that marker board are analogous to blackboard but with a smoother surface and allowing rapid and erasing markings. Nowadays, whiteboards are widely used in almost every educational institute or working environments. About 70-80% educational institute around the world uses whiteboard as the writing medium in their classrooms. They are large in size and for that reason it is always related with a duster. However, it is a very time-consuming process to erase the writings from the board with the duster. In addition, the duster can be lost in matter of time as it is small in sizes. With Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner , these problems can be solved by using mobile application, Blynk to control the movement. It can reduce the time taken to wipe off as well as reduces the unnecessary effort to clean the whiteboard. The sensor known as Node MCU attached to the driven motor and acts as the controller to operate the AWC. The main components of the AWC are driven motor, Node MCU, voltage source, wheel motor and a mobile application, Blynk. The Node MCU was attached to the driven motor is used to detect the movement things. When the Node MCU and driven motor has detected the movement, it will send the signal to the wheel motor to move the Automatic Whiteboard Cleaner by using the Blynk application. To move the AWC, the users must turn on their wifI or Bluetooth to control the movement. Thus, by controlling it, the duster will clean the whiteboard automatically. In conclusion, this project focus on the IR4.0 concept as it use in the Blynk application. Therefore, it will be easier and make the work more efficient without using the human’s energy like before
