PROJECT TITLE

COVID-19 DETECTOR

Using the power of Python and Arduino, this detector measures

and records user temperature.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT:-

INTRODUCTION
No one can predict a pandemic, it doesn't matter whether you are an advanced bio-
chemist or a hobbyist hackster . Using our skills at hand, we have to help all we can.
The goal is to detect, measure and record user temperature using Arduino and
Python of employees , students and others coming into a building.
As our situation continues, and as the economy slowly opens, we need a efficient
and practical way to make sure the people coming into a building aren't infecting
others with this deadly virus. In the present, health-care workers are at the highest
risk of getting infected with this disease, and hospitals need a device to monitor their
temperature every time they leave or enter the building. As shown by the graph
below, almost 1, 556, 930 registered nurses have been affected by COVID- 19.
When schools and office buildings reopen, there needs to be a way to prevent
spreading of pandemic from person to person. Students and workers can have their
temperature checked and logged for the benefit of them and that of their employer.
When the nurse comes, he or she will be able to clearly look and analyze the
different student's or employee's temperatures which will be given with their name.
The name will be read from their certain PIN. In the present and post-pandemic
future, this project will be useful in controlling the virus. Something has to be done,
and we hobbyists can contribute.
This innovative idea can be used to control COVID-19 spreading further.

OBJECTIVE:-
Our aim is to read in the user's pin and determine his or her name from the input,
measure temperature of the user using MLX90614 non-contact thermometer and
associate it with his or her name. Lastly, the data would be logged for review by a
health professional, thus keeping control of the virus in places like hospital
buildings, schools, and office buildings in the current and future.

COMPONENTS:-
• Adafruit 3x4 Phone-style Matrix Keypad.
• Jumper Wires Standard 7" M/M - 30 AWG (30 Pack).
• Cerberus USB Cable – 6ft.
• Basic 16x2 Character LCD - White on Black 5V.

• Arduino Due [A000062].

• Trimpot 10K Ohm with Knob.

• Resistor Kit - 1/4W (500 total).

• SparkFun Cerberus USB Cable – 6ft.

• Breadboard - Self-Adhesive (White).

• Tactile Tact Push Button Switch.

SOFTWARE’S USED:-
•Arduino IDE
•Microsoft VS Code
•Fritzing
OUTCOMES:-
• It reduces the health-care workers.
•It is more efficient and effective.
•It reduces the risk of spreading corona virus.
•It reduces the complexity and time consumption.
•It is cost efficient.
DRAWBACKS :-
•There may be a probability of user entering the wrong pin , however this can be
overcome by adding additional feature like camera modules and other verification
devices .
