Abstract— This report is about to an electronic hardware-based project where we have implemented an Arduino-based Smart Cricket Stadium. Our aim is to make cricket games more efficient during unstable weather by implementing an automated pitch-covering system. To make this report understandable, We added a flowchart, photographs, and descriptions. Our features can also be applicable in other places.

Our project is about an Arduino-based smart cricket stadium. The reason we implemented this project was to make cricket more automated and accurate. We also ensure that our automated feature is suitable during playtime. We secure the pitch to be dry during rain time so that the play may start after the rain using HDS and Stepper Motor. Also, we placed the boundary line after displacement by fielders or others. To detect that the line is displaced we used a weight sensor and fixed the line using DC Motor Mechanism. To ensure the power play rules, we get the count from IR sensor of how many players are inside 30 yards and outside 30 yards. This will help the umpire make the correct decision. Another feature is the control of stadium light brightness according to sunlight based on LDR sensor read. Apart from this, we implement a moveable solar system according sun's position to absorb maximum power using a servo motor and LDR sensor.

Automate pitch covering
We detect rain using rain sensors. When rain is detected, our system provides a 5-second warning and activates our covering system.
-
Automated Boundary Line fixing
First We detect whether the boundary line moved from its actual place or not then our system runs 2 DC motors to fix that system.
-
Power Play Player Count Our system can count the player under 30 yards which helps umpire the run a game perfectly.
-
Maximum Sunlight absolve system
LDR sensor tracks the sun, aligning solar-covered roofs for optimal power.
-
Automated Light Brightness Increase And Decrease
Using LDR sensors we measure sunlight depending on our system increases and decreases the power of stadium lights.
- Automate pitch covering:
When the rain starts Humidity Detection sensor detects rain. It sends readings to the Arduino and Arduino command the stepper motor to proceed. Humidity Detection Sensor —–Arduino Uno —— Step�per Motor —–Cover Mechanism Humidity Detection Sensor: Detect when rain starts. Arduino Uno: Read analog signal from sensor and analize reading. Stepper Motor: After receiving signal from aurduino motor takes the commandig steps.
- Automated Boundary Line fixing:
Weight sensor ——- Auruino Uno —— DC motor —— Mechanism Weight Sensor: Sense the rope weight Aurduino Uno: Receiving signal from weight sensor and give instruction to DC Motor. DC Motor: After receiving signal from DC Motor follow command.
- Power Play Player Count:
IR Sensor—-Arduino—-Display IR Sensor: IR senor count from the start and sending signal to arduino. Arduino Uno: After getting signal, Arduino will show in LCD. .LCD Display: Receiving command from Arduino.
- Maximum Sunlight absolve system:
LDR Sensor —- Arduino Uno—– Servo Motor LDR Sensor : Light Detection Photosensitive send ana�log signal to Arduino. Arduino Uno : Arduino Receive signal from LDR and send command to Servo Motor. Servo Motor: Servo Motor receive signal from Arduino.
- Automated Light Brightness Increase And Decrease:
