Functionality

1. Automatic Barrier Control:

   • Barriers open automatically when a vehicle is detected
   • Barriers close after vehicle passes through
   • LED indicators show barrier status

2. Remote Control Operation:

   • Manual control of barriers using IR remote
   • Remote codes:
     • 16753245: Close Barrier 1
     • 16736925: Open Barrier 1
     • 16769565: Close Barrier 2
     • 16720605: Open Barrier 2

3. Status Indicators:

   • LED indicators show barrier status
   • Serial monitor provides real-time feedback

Installation

1. Install the Arduino IDE
2. Install required libraries (Servo.h and IRremote.h)
3. Connect the hardware components as per the circuit diagram
4. Upload the project_illuminate.ino code to your Arduino board

Usage

1. Power on the Arduino board
2. The system will automatically detect vehicles using IR sensors
3. Barriers will open/close automatically based on vehicle presence
4. Use the IR remote for manual control if needed

Troubleshooting

• Ensure all connections are secure
• Check if IR sensors are properly aligned
• Verify servo motor connections
• Monitor Serial output for debugging information
