Above is the view for the analog switch we will be using. This analog switch has 8 pins but for our purposes, we will be using pins 3 and pin 6 so the switch could receive the signal of any wetness that has been detected. The other pins that we will be using from this switch are the output pins which are pins 1 and 8 in the circuit above. These output pins will be connected to the next part of the experiment which is the encoder. [2] An encoder is a type of circuit that takes an input and then converts that into a bit binary code which can be read by digital systems. The encoder that we will be using is model number HT12E. The benefits for this encoder are that it uses lower power and contains high noise immunity CMOS technology. [5] This …show more content…

Class 2 we feel would be the best to use because it has a decent amount of range while also not using a lot of power. The amount of power it uses is very important for us because we’re not using a huge battery but a small one that doesn’t contain a lot of volts. Class 2 of Bluetooth has a range of about 10 meters while it uses about 2.5 mW of power. Class 1 has a range of about 100m which would be great but it uses about 40 times more power at 100 mW. Class 3 uses less power than both class 1 and 2 but the range is so little it wouldn’t be a viable option. [7] The range is less than 1 meter which means you would only receive a notification when you’re right next to the baby which helps but not as much. [7] The circuit diagram for the circuit is shown below, it continues the process we had from before where we connect pins from the encoder or the analog switch to the Bluetooth module. This is the circuit diagram for the Bluetooth module that we are planning to use. What we have to do for Bluetooth circuit is connect pin 8 from the analog switch into the transmitter (TX). The next step is to connect pin 17 from the encoder into the receiver (RX). This will send the outputs from the switch and the encoder into the Bluetooth circuit and from where we can have it send out a notification to a cellular phone or anything that can receive Bluetooth messages.
Results and Discussions: What we want for this project is a working moisture sensor that will send out a
