INTRODUCTION
• The main aim of this project is to detect the obstacle in front of the
electronic stick and giving the alarm
• This will assist the blind persons during the walk and provides an
alarm if any hurdle is detected with-In the set range
• This system mainly consists of a regulated power supply, IR
transmitter, IR receiver, control circuit and the output driver circuit
• The IR sensor detects the presence of an obstacle in front of the
person

LIGHT EMITTING DIOD
• A light-emitting diode
(LED) is a semiconductor
diode that emits incoherent
narrow spectrum light when
electrically biased in the
forward direction of the pn-
junction
Parts of a LED
TSOP 1738 IR RECEIVER
• This Tsop 1738 work as reciever
• Receives modulated infrared signal and
converts into electrical signal.
• If IR LED (reciever) detects any hurdle
in between of its line of sight
communication then voltage across its
output get low.
• If IR LED (reciever) does not detect any
hurdle in the way of its line of sight
communication then voltage across it
remains high.
BUZZER
COMPARATOR
• In our project we have used IC LM319
• The LM319 is a dual high speed
voltage comparator designed to
operate from a single + 5V supply up
to ±15V dual supplies
• All pins of any unused comparators
should be tied to the negative supply.
• The LM319 series are high gain, wide
bandwidth

ADVANTAGES
 Multiplexers are used to sense obstacles in different directions
simultaneously. This means, the blind person might receive
different signals on obstacles in different directions around
him.
 The moisture sensing electrodes sense the moist soil or
stagnant water. This can be especially helpful during the rainy
season. It also contains micro-switches, to detect manholes.
FUTURE SCOPE
 Technology created reading machines, talking books, and
computers that translate Braille.
 Communications technologies were easier to invent and
consequently were brought to market
 Technologies available for blind navigation are insufficiently
developed, adapted, and marketed.
CONCLUSIONS
 Electronic walking stick for blind people helps the blind
people when the obstacle occurs at in front the person.
 The stick gives signal to the person by buzzer sound or
vibration when it detects the obstacle.

Without the help of any other person the blind people can
walk easily.

INTEGRATED CIRCUIT 555
• IC555 timer IC along with Infra red LED which is going to
transmit signal
• This IC consists of two comparators that drive the set(S) and
reset(R) terminals of a flip flop.
• The Q output is available as the overall output. Q' drives the
discharge transistor
• The reference voltage of comparator 1 is fixed at (2/3)V+ and
that of comparator 2 is fixed at (1/3)V+.
