 ABSTRACT

• This project is aimed to display the count of visitors visited at a place by using IR sensors.

• Fields an effective solution to count the number of visitors visited any particular

• This project is also a design which detects the metal type items by using metal detector.

• If any person enters into the place with metal it was detected by using metal detector.
 INTRODUCTION

• In today’s world , there is a continuous need for automatic appliances.

• The objective of this project is to make a controller Based model to count number of persons visiting
particular room and accordingly light up of the room automatically.
• Here we are using sensor and controller to count the number of persons in the room and display it on
LCD
• If there is at least 1 person in the room ,the LED will glow else it will remain off.
• Metal is detected using metal detector which displays on LCD

SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
 WORKING

The IR sensor continuously senses the presence of any obstacles.

IR sensor 1 senses a person, it informs the controller that a person
has entered so that controller can increment the count.
 When a person leaves the room IR sensor 2 informs the controller
to decrement the count .
The count is displayed on LCD by the controller.
If there is at least 1 person is inside the hall, an LED will glow
otherwise it is off.
 when a person carries metal with him the metal detector detects
the metal by producing a buzzer sound and displays in the LCD as
metal detected .
 HARDWARE DESCRIPTION

Buzzer : It is a audio signalling device, which may be

mechanical . In this project we are using active buzzer with
5v supply.

 IR sensors : An infrared sensor is an electronic device

that emits light in order to sense some objects of the
surroundings and it also detects the motion.
 Metal detector: It is an electronic instrument that detects the
presence of metal nearby.

 LCD: It is a 16 pin device that has two rows that can

accommodate 16 characters each . It displays various
parameters and status of the system.
 ARDUINO-UNO

Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on

the ATmega328P (datasheet).

 It has 14 digital input/output pins a USB

connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a
reset button.

 Arduino is a open-source electronic platform

based on easy-to-use hardware and software.

 Arduino boards are able to read inputs-light on a

sensor, a finder on a button, or a twitter message-
and turn it into an output-activating a motor,
turning on a led publishing some thing online.
 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

Arduino software (IDE)

The Arduino integrated development environment - or arduino software (IDE) - contains a text
editor for writing code, a message area, a text console, a toolbar with buttons for common functions
and a series of menus.
It connects to the Arduino and genuino hardware to upload programs and communicate with them.
It is easy to use for beginners yet flexible enough for advances user to take advantage of as well .
Proteus:

Proteus is a simulation and electronic design development tool

developed by lab centre electronics .
It is very useful tool as it ensures that the circuit design or
firmware code is working properly before you begin to physically
work on it.
 ADVANTAGES
• Can be used for automatic room light control
• It can work 24x7 without any problem.
• It will help to save electricity . When no one is there in the room the
appliances will be off.
• In school/companies it will help to check if somebody is there in the
zone or not. If the data on display unit zero the security guards can
shut the gate easily.
• Metal detector has some sensitivity through which it can sense the
metal easily
 DISADVANTAGES
 It is used only when one person cuts the rays of the sensor hence cannot be used
when two or more person cross the door simultaneously.
 When anybody is inside the room and we need to switch off the power then we
have to do it manually.
 False alarm
 APPLICATIONS
The circuit can be used domestically to get an indication of number of
persons entering.
It can be used at homes and other places to keep a check on the number
of persons entering a secured place .
It can also used as home automation system to ensure energy saving by
switching on the loads and fans only when needed.
 CONCLUSION

This project deals with the use age of the energy in this competitive
world of electricity.
This project saves more electric power then it seems and also
collaborates the knowledge of electric and digital study .
The functioning also teaches us how we can preserve electricity
even in the electricity based project
 FUTURE SCOPE

 Lights can be turned ON/OFF according to the number of people in the room .
 We can check the ambient light intensity and the decide if the light needs to be turned
ON or not.
 Metal detector can be added for security reasons.
 By modifying this circuit and using two relays we can achieve a task of opening and
closing the door.
 Metal detector can be used for bomb detections , knives etc
