INTRODUCTION
Most

of the accidents happen during night

time or in dark places

Accidents are mostly caused by faulty

headlamp.

Hard

for driver to detect the faulty headlamp

while driving

To

build faulty car headlamp sensor that can

detect the broken lamp of cars

OBJECTIVES
To

developed a car headlamp faulty

sensor circuit.

To

test the functionality of car

headlamp faulty sensor circuit.

SCOPE OF WORKS
Use

sensor to detect current flow

through bulb

We

try to use PIC16F876A (28 pin)

It

can be programmed at the input to

get the desired output ( using MPLAB )

It

use digital output 0 and 1

Project Contribution
Warn

the user when the headlamp is

broken

Reduce

the car accidents

Improve car safety specification

METHODOLOGY

A battery with 12V is supplied to the circuit. Then, the

user turn on the cars headlamp. When the lamp is on,
the sensor will detect whether there is current flow
through the bulb or not. When there is no current flow,
the sensor will light up the LED, LCD and turn on the
buzzer to warn the user that there are faultage at their
bulb of the car headlamp.

Convert using comparator circuit

Compare input voltage to get

desired output

Operate at rate
voltage 0.3V ~ 7V

3 ports ( A,B,C )

LCD

TYPE JHD162A

This LCD can give output of 2x16

characters

Need to connect 8 pins ( 1 port )to

the PIC

Suitable Vcc

MPLAB

We use MPLAB to
program PIC16F876A.

Adapter to connect PIC

and PC.

Expected Result
The

car headlamp faulty sensor circuit will

be developed according to the proposed
methodology.

Functionality

of the car headlamp faulty

sensor circuit will be tested according to the
real situation.
