Aims: Automatic Street Light Controller Using LDR on General Purpose PCB

Sure! Here's a macro project plan for creating an Automatic Street Light Controller using an
LDR on a General Purpose PCB. This plan breaks the project into key sections like objective,
components, circuit design, assembly, testing, and documentation. You can use this format for
academic or practical purposes.

🔧 Macro Project Title:

Automatic Street Light Controller Using LDR on General Purpose PCB

🎯 Objective:

To design and build an automatic street light controller circuit that turns ON lights in the dark
and OFF in the presence of daylight using a Light Dependent Resistor (LDR), implemented on a
general-purpose PCB.

Project Overview:

This project uses an LDR sensor to detect light levels and automatically control a street light
(represented by an LED or a 230V lamp with a relay). The LDR changes its resistance with the
light intensity. When darkness falls (high resistance), the controller activates the light. When it's
bright (low resistance), the light is turned off.
🔩 Components Required:
Component Specification Quantity

LDR Light Dependent Resistor 1

Transistor BC547 (or equivalent NPN) 1

Resistors 10kΩ, 1kΩ 2

LED White/Red/Yellow 1

Relay (optional for real lamp) 5V DC relay 1

Diode 1N4007 (for relay back EMF) 1

General Purpose PCB Standard 1

Power Supply 5V–12V DC 1

Connecting Wires - As needed

Sockets, Screw Terminals - Optional

Soldering Tools - -

Circuit Diagram Description:

 LDR & Resistor: Create a voltage divider. The output of this divider is fed to the base of
a transistor.
 Transistor (BC547): Works as a switch. When light falls below a threshold, transistor
turns on.
 LED/Relay: Connected to transistor’s collector. It gets powered ON/OFF based on the
LDR input.

Assembly Steps:

1. Prototype on Breadboard:
o Build and test the circuit on a breadboard.
o Calibrate LDR sensitivity by adjusting resistor values.
2. Schematic Finalization:
o Finalize the layout and positioning of components.
3. Soldering on General Purpose PCB:
o Solder components carefully.
o Use headers/screw terminals for external connections.
o Make sure to keep the layout compact and neat.
o 4. Enclosure (optional):

o Place the circuit in a plastic box for safety.


o Leave the LDR exposed for proper sensing.

⚙ Testing Procedure:

 Place the LDR under normal light: LED/Relay should remain OFF.
 Cover the LDR or move it to a dark place: LED/Relay should turn ON.
 Test various light conditions to ensure sensitivity and accuracy.
