Auto Rain Shield for Clothes

Abstract

Drying clothes outdoors is a common practice, but unexpected rain
often disrupts this process, leading to inconvenience and the need
for additional drying efforts. This paper presents an Automatic
Rain Shield for Clothes, a smart system designed to detect rain and
deploy a protective shield over clothes, ensuring uninterrupted
drying. The system incorporates an Arduino Uno, rain sensor,
motor driver (L298N), and DC motor, which work together to
automate the covering and uncovering process. The system is
designed to be cost-effective, energy-efficient, and user-friendly,
providing a practical solution for households, hostels, and
laundries. This paper discusses the methodology, system
architecture, and advantages of this innovation while highlighting
its potential for future enhancements such as IoT integration and
solar-powered operation.
