SUPERMARKET CUSTOMER

SURVEY/MONITERING

AIM & OBJECTIVE:

The number of customers coming in and going out of a supermarket needs

to be monitored.The system should be capable of recording data on total customers visiting the
store and the total number of customers in the store at any one time.The data needs to be
reduced.Both the recorded and instantaneous data should be made available to the store
manager’s Pc.

INTRODUCTION:

The main object of the project is to monitor and conduct a survey ,i.e; to
calculate the number of customers comming into supermarket ( count ++) , number of customers
going out of supermarket ( count - - ) and to compute the total number of customers at a
particular time of instance.The customer flow ,that is increment ++ and decrement – should be
stored and updated in the manager’s pc at the supermarket by using RABBIT BL2000
MICROPROCESSOR board and its web-server application.

As we know that a rabbit board can be assigned to an TCP/IP ie; assigning

an internet protocol address it is easy to make it into web-server by simple manul programming.
At the graphical user end the user can see the objective clearly as a form of result. The Dynamic
C coded program output of BL2000 is interfaced with the web-server program such that the
updated values are in perfect.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:

The major part of the project is its possibilities which depends on the input
and output devices ( optical sensor and light source ) chosen to connect with rabbit board.In
clear there should be a signal receiver and signal transmitter such that to provide continoues
loop.If the loop connection is faild or disconnected the count increment ( logical 1 ) or decriment
( logical 0 ) should be happened via rabbit BL2000 mother board.

Case 1 :

Considering different possibilities we can use a potentiometer to

generate logic 0,logic 1 . In practical we use two potentiometer such that one is for customers
who comes in and another is for customers who goes out.Connecting the two potentiometers to
bl 2000 power supply screw terminals and ground terminal , and when a customer places his foot
on potentiometer one the dynamic c program counts as count ++ shows an increment at web-
server of the manager if the customer places his foot on potentiometer two the dynamic c
program counts as count -- .This is one of the simple possible ways to generate logical one and
logical zero via potentiometer.
 Case 2 :

Considering different possibilities we can use a optical sensor to

generate logical 0 , logical 1 .In practical we use two sensors and two light sources.we supply
power from rabbit bl2000 mother board to the optical receiver and light source ie: transmitter
and connet it out put as an input for the rabbit board .

Let’s say Optical sensor O1,Optical sensor O2,light source L1 and

light source L2.optical sensor O1 and light source L1 are placed at the way “entrance” of the
supermarket , if an obstacle disturbs the signal the between O1 and L1 then dynamic c code takes
it as increasing the count.( i ++ )

Lets say optical sensor O2 and light source L2 are placed at the way
“exit” of the supermarket , if an obstacle disturbs the signal the between O2 and L2 then dynamic
c code takes it as decreasing the count.( i -- )

Case 3 :

Considering different possibilities we can use a “ON” and “OFF”

mechanical switch as a rabbit board analog input . In practical we can take two switches S1 and
S2 connecting it with dynamic c and taking the on and off values as logic 1 and logic 0.This is
one of the simple possible ways of dealing this project.
CHOSEN SOLUTION

Note 1 :

From all the above three cases ,case 2 where the optical sensors are
used is a better way to deal with the objective because there are many good reasons like low
power consumption , accuracy and high operating frequency including with BL2000
compatability , so iam conducting the objective with optical sensors and light source devices.

Note 2 :

The requirements for the aim to be done is a BL2000 rabbit board,photo

sensors, and system to make BL2000 as a web-server such that to show customer count
incrementation and decrementation. The circuit will be in active state when there is any obstacle
between the reciver and transmitter of an reflective optical sensor.Active state is nothing but
“logical off “ ,BL2000 have an ip address and we made it into web server and the result of
Dynamic c program is always updated on the minitor .All the input voltages for the sensor are
taken from the rabbit board inputs.Sensors were embedded with rabbit board RJ-45 pin is used to
get the updated information from the programm through the rabbit board.
HARDWARE DESIGN:

I have chosen case 2 that is optical sensor and the light source to connect
with the bl 2000 mother board . The connections and the optical sensor are as follows :

ADC channel 0 input screw terminal J4 pin1.ADC is nothing but analog to digital converter it
converts the analog input from the optical sensor into digital output either logical one or logical
zero , its nothing but circuit “on” and “off”.If the sensor is detecting the signal from the
transmitter it shows no activity if the sensor dosnt detect the signal its count is incremented or
decremented which is i++ or i—in the dynamic c program.In this project iam using a low input

optical sensors,each combining a photodiode and a transimpedance amplifier(feedback resistor =
16M^,8M^,and 2.8M^ respectively) on a single ,monolithic IC.output voltage is directly
proportional to the light intensity (irradiance) on the photodiode as rabbit board supports the
specified voltage and current input and output specifications.The optical sensor range or light
intensity is measured in nanometers ie; “nm”.

Depending on the purpose of client we can take any of the three models and these photo
transistors were made by a company called TEXAS ADVANCED OPTO ELECTRONICS
SOLUTIONS.There are varied range of opto devices to make our task done but by considering
all the factors like response, refresh rate and other atmospheric temperature and light
conditions.Some time voltage flickers may cause irrelavent responcive signal and causes a bad
output or missleneous output ranges which causes mismatch with the Dynamic c program,results
to no functioning the device.

We can use a strong source of light tramission such as light emmiting diodes or
laser light depending on the purpose if we use LED’s that are low power consumption and low
emission rates so some times signal may not be detected by the optical sensor and the program
may leads to crash the BL2000.so for this purpose we are using laser light source with an
external input battery or powersupply.

About Dynamic c:

overview :
Dynamic C has been in use worldwide since 1989. It is specially designed for
programming embedded systems, and features quick compile and interactive debugging. A
complete reference guide to Dynamic C is contained in the Dynamic C User’s Manual.
You have a choice of doing your software development in the flash memory or in the data
SRAM included on the Jackrabbit. The flash memory and SRAM options are selected
with the Options > Project Options > Compiler menu.
 The advantage of working in RAM is to save wear on the flash memory, which is
limited to about 100,000 write cycles. The disadvantage is that the code and data might not both
fit in RAM.

NOTE: An application can be developed in RAM, but cannot run standalone from RAM
after the programming cable is disconnected. All standalone applications can only run
from flash memory.

NOTE: Do not depend on the flash memory sector size or type. Due to the volatility of
the flash memory market, the Jackrabbit and Dynamic C were designed to accommodate
flash devices with various sector sizes.

Developing software with Dynamic C is simple. Users can write, compile, and test C and
assembly code without leaving the Dynamic C development environment. Debugging
occurs while the application runs on the target. Alternatively, users can compile a program
to an image file for later loading. Dynamic C runs on PCs under Windows 95 and later.
Programs can be downloaded at baud rates of up to 460,800 bps after the program

Dynamic C has a number of standard features:

• Full-feature source and/or assembly-level debugger, no in-circuit emulator required.
• Royalty-free TCP/IP stack with source code and most common protocols.
• Hundreds of functions in source-code libraries and sample programs:
􀁘 Exceptionally fast support for floating-point arithmetic and transcendental functions.
􀁘 RS-232 and RS-485 serial communication.
􀁘 Analog and digital I/O drivers.
􀁘 I2C, SPI, GPS, file system.
􀁘 LCD display and keypad drivers.
• Powerful language extensions for cooperative or preemptive multitasking
• Loader utility program to load binary images into Rabbit-based targets in the absence
of Dynamic C.
• Provision for customers to create their own source code libraries and augment on-line
help by creating “function description” block comments using a special format for
library functions.
• Standard debugging features:
􀁘 Breakpoints—Set breakpoints that can disable interrupts.
􀁘 Single-stepping—Step into or over functions at a source or machine code level, μC/OS-II
aware.
􀁘 Code disassembly—The disassembly window displays addresses, opcodes, mnemonics, and
machine cycle times. Switch between debugging at machine-code level and source-code level by
simply opening or closing the disassembly window.
􀁘 Watch expressions—Watch expressions are compiled when defined, so complex expressions
including function calls may be placed into watch expressions. Watch expressions can be
updated
with or without stopping program execution.
􀁘 Register window—All processor registers and flags are displayed. The contents of general
registers
may be modified in the window by the user.
􀁘 Stack window—shows the contents of the top of the stack.
􀁘 Hex memory dump—displays the contents of memory at any address.
􀁘 STDIO window—printf outputs to this window and keyboard input on the host PC can be
detected for debugging purposes. printf output may also be sent to a serial port or file.

Board Initialization
Call this function at the beginning of your program. This function initializes the system I/O ports
and
loads all the A/D and DAC calibration constants from flash memory into SRAM for use by your
program.

The light source or the change in the light range is taken as the input for the Dynamic c program
and it is converted by the analog to digital converter ports processed and compiled by the rabbit
processor.The voltage range variation makes the program to count the voltage in as addition and
voltage out as the subtraction from the total customers .It is menctioned as T in the program.

RESULT :

The analog variations in the optical sensors gives the

incrementation and decrementation in the program counter as it is a continuous for
loop its never going to be stoped and the arithametic operation counting is
done,which is interlinked with the rabbit board and the count is updated in the web
server.

CONCLUSION:

This program works under certain conditions only.such as when there is no much repetation
because analog to digital conversion takes some time to get the calculations done.we can use
different sensors with high transmission and reception qualities but the costfactor becomes high.

Due to the un-natural atmospheric conditions the humidity , light variations in

room may also cause to the failure of the system.In most of the cases using of photosensors
,photodiodes can give better result.

In the program i have taken 2.5v as the cutoff voltage range such that to identify
the change in the light intensity .The variation in the light intensity or the analog inputs causes
the open circuit and it just takes it as a count either to increment or to decrement it.The count is
dependent on the {for(;;)} for loop in the program.

SUGGESTIONS :

 Continuous input voltage may cause internal noise and may cause to hardware-failure
so low-noise sensors can be used
  By using a high intensity source of analog inputs like laser can give effective outputs
and accurate results but to embed the rabbit port with the laser is a much though and
risky process.

 By using infrared LED’s the task can be made to locost and the only drawback with
infrared led’s is that it has low input ranges and so external noise my cause the system
failure .

 Using photo sensors is a good deal with the aim which has give .

 Variations in input voltages causes aging of the photo sensor.
