AUTOMATIC DIGITAL VISITOR COUNTER
INTRODUCTION
A digital visitor counter is necessary to count how many people entered in to a
party or a conference hall. The automatic visitor counter is a simple electronics.
It can simply done by this circuit, a light source and a light sensor is used to
detect the person and display the count using seven segment display with the
help of 4026. The light source and the light sensor placed in such a way that the
visitor will cross the light path when he enter in to the hall.
Circuit Diagram
Components
1. Transistor (BC548)
2. Resistor (10K, 100)
3. POT (100K)
4. LDR
5. 7 segment Display (Common anode)
6. Torch light or laser
7. IC 4026
Working
The light beam from torch is continually hit on the LDR so the resistance of
LDR is low and the voltage drop across LDR and ground is less than 0.6V
The threshold voltage 0.6V can be set by varying the POT 100K
When a person or an object is passes between the light beams light will not hit
on the LDR so the resistance of LDR become high
We have V=IxR (Voltage = Current X Resistance) i.e., the resistance of LDR is
high voltage across LDR become high
If the voltage across LDR exceeds 0.6V then transistor will ON and start
conducting
When the transistor is ON, the potential at point A becomes LOW and when
the transistor become OFF, the potential at A will be HIGH
As soon as the person crosses the light beam a LOW and HIGH voltage
transition occur at the point A.
Which is fed to the Clock of 4026 IC, it will start count with the clock and
display on seven segment display
4026 will increment the count when each person enters in to the room.
