Visitor counter project using Arduino

Summary of Visitor counter project using Arduino


This article introduces a simple visitor counter project using an Arduino board and an Infrared (IR) sensor. While high-end counters use complex hardware, this DIY solution effectively counts people or objects by detecting IR signal reflections, making it suitable for locations like theaters, malls, and transport stations.

Parts used in the Visitor Counter Project:

  • Arduino board
  • Infrared (IR) sensor

People  or Visitor counters are pretty famous embedded application that was widely used in places like theaters, malls, Transport stations and so. High end counters uses sophisticated hardware to do the process of counting. Today we are about to see building of simple Visitor counter project using Arduino which uses IR as a tool for sensing people. This project can also be used to count objects as well provided that the surface of the object capable of reflecting IR signal.
