Automated System for Opening a Car’s Tailgate

Abstract

The aim is to lock and unlock the car’s door or tailgate with a press of a button on its remote control in order to give the driver better comfort.” OrCad” was used in the implementation of this project. First, the “OrCAD” electrical diagram is designed, then the “Layout” for the integrated circuit (PCB) is created. The microcontroller used in this project is programmed in the” PICkit 2” environment from ”Microchip”. In the following work, the microcontroller is programmed in such a manner that it will open the car’s doors and tailgate at the first button press and will lift the tailgate at the second button press. The controller will give the command further to a couple of transistors which will command the appropriate actuators’ relays.
