Arduino-Based Smartphone Charging Controller

Overview

This project is an Arduino-powered smartphone charging controller designed to prevent overcharging and optimize battery life. It allows users to set a charging timer using a rotary encoder and LCD display, ensuring controlled and efficient charging.

Features

• 🔋 Overcharge Protection: Prevents excessive charging to extend battery life.
• ⏳ User-Controlled Charging Timer: Users can set a timer via a rotary encoder and LCD display.
• ⚡ Efficient Power Management: Automatically stops charging once the set time is reached.
• 🔌 Plug & Play Design: Simple setup with an Arduino-based circuit.

Technologies & Tools Used

• Microcontroller: Arduino UNO (or any compatible board)
• Programming Language: C++ (Arduino IDE)
• Components: LCD Display, Rotary Encoder, Resistors, MOSFET, Power Supply
• Development Environment: Arduino IDE

How It Works

1. User sets charging time using the rotary encoder.
2. The LCD display shows the selected duration.
3. Once started, the system allows charging for the specified time.
4. Charging is automatically cut off after the timer expires, preventing overcharging.
