Abstract


This is a new approach on the section of measurement. Today, most of the people use conventional measuring tape for length measurement. In this conventional method if length to be measured is larger than one extra person will be required to complete this task. Due to that there may be errors in measuring length and it take times time to check the length using tape. Main aim of this mini project is to solve these problems using a microcontroller measuring system. This will reduce the time taken for the cutting and will measure accurately. For this project Arduino Nano is used as the microcontroller for performing the algorithmic work.
