Abstract
Every engineering student has a senior project must be completed in order to graduate. Also, all students must complete the projects based on some requirements such as software and hardware parts to accomplish success on their assigned project. Furthermore, the purpose of Remote Controlled Retractable Window project is to develop a window that is used for homes, companies, and even institutions that has the latest Home Automation technology. Moreover, this paper has a detailed report of the Remote-Controlled Retractable Window project including components, calculations, and design decisions that were made to complete this project in period of two semesters. For instance, calculations for power supplies, microcontroller code, type of motor, type of the remote control, and several objectives to make the window open/close in 10 seconds wirelessly. The results of this project were successful, and the window can be opened/closed in 10 seconds by using RF remote control, stepper motor, two inductive sensors, and PIC microcontroller. Most importantly, the results can help in the development of future Home Automation projects such as a Remote-Controlled Retractable Window.
