Abstract
Braille is an essential system for visually impairment people as a source of learning and obtaining information. The process of learning braille is still very dependent on the teacher. Our project aims at developing a self-learning braille device which can help students with visual impairment in learning the system of writing braille letters independently, without reliance on companion teachers. This system uses six small dc solenoids as linear actuators for tactile displays that are used to form a single braille display cell. The dc solenoids and other hardware components are controlled using Atmega328p microcontroller with Arduino Nano platform. To provide the wireless connection between the braille learning device and the android smartphone, we use Bluetooth technology. The solution is designed with a cheap, portable device, user friendly, and allows a blind student to learn braille independently without the help of a teacher.
