Computerised Person/Object counter using MATLAB (Soon in Python.)
- Extremely easy and cheap to make.
- Counts the number of objects using IR sensor connected to Audio port of computer/laptop.
- NE555 timer
- 5mm IR Light emitting diode
- 1N4148 signal diode
- TSOP1736 infrared sensor
- 620-ohm - 2nos
- 100-ohm
- 1-kilo-ohm -2nos
- 330-ohm
- 100-ohm preset (variable resistor)
- 22n ceramic
- 0.1μF, ceramic - 2nos
- 2.2μF, 16V electrolytic
- 100μF, 16V electrolytic
- 10μF, 16V electrolytic
- Run counter.m in MATLAB and note down the power levels when object is detected and not detected.
- Enter those values in personcounter.m and run in MATLAB.
