A good, simple use case for automation for those administering event venues is a visitor counter—even more so in these times of COVID-19 and social distancing. In this session, we’ll build a device using Arduino that will automatically sense and count the number of people entering and exiting the premises, with a convenient display attached. When the number is exceeded, the system automatically starts beeping until the situation has been remedied.
Hardware required: —Arduino UNO —Ultrasonic sensors (x2) —LCD Display Module —Buzzer —Jumper wires, breadboard, 9V battery with snapper
