Conveyor Belt Object Counter

Description

The Object Counting System using LDR and 7-Segment Display with the 8051 microcontroller is a simple yet effective solution for counting objects based on light interruptions. The system utilizes an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) to detect the presence of objects as they pass in front of the sensor. When an object interrupts the light falling on the LDR, the resistance of the LDR changes, sending a signal to the microcontroller. The 8051 processes this signal, increments a counter, and displays the current count on a 7-segment display. This setup allows for real-time monitoring and accurate object counting.

• Key Features:

1.LDR-Based Detection: Utilizes light interruptions to detect objects, making it ideal for counting moving or passing items.

2.8051 Microcontroller: Controls the system, processes the data from the LDR, and manages the 7-segment display for output.

3.7-Segment Display: Provides a clear, easy-to-read output of the object count.

4.Real-Time Operation: Provides instant feedback on object count without delay.

• Applications:

1.Manufacturing and Conveyor Systems: To count products or items passing on a conveyor belt.

2.Traffic Monitoring: To count vehicles passing a particular point.

3.Inventory Management: For automatic counting of items in storage or on display.

4.Security Systems: To count people or objects in restricted areas for security monitoring.
