Although the type of material used in wiping the board has evolved, the manual labour is still a constant factor. Technologically, improvements have been achieved in this area where we have the Interactive Whiteboards, However, the cost of acquisition and installation is on the high side for most institutions. The need to save time, funds and effort in schools, offices and various other areas where boards are applied is exceedingly growing and through the use of an automated whiteboard wiper, this can be wholly achieved. In this paper, we design and construct a white board wiper that will completely wipe clean the board after being used with the aid of a push button. The Whiteboard Wiper is a purely electro-mechanical automated whiteboard erasing system, which incorporates a logic gate based control circuit and a mechanical system that will allow for adaptability to various sizes and is reasonably affordable.Read More
