# Objective
Marketing Managers of public space need to now how many people entered or exited their place at a given time so that they can plan for future events. For example a super market needs to know the peak hours when they have a lot of people so that they can schedule very well working hours etc. Therefore our objective is to count people or things that are entering in a given entrance so that the data can be used for statistic and analyzes
# Duration
4 hours
# Age Group
all
# Materials
## LDR
* description:Light dependent resistance- its a sensor which change the resitance when the light intensity around it changes
* quantity:1
* price:1.5$
* link:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9088
## Arduino
* description:an open source microcontroller development board
* quantity:1
* price:25$
* link:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/11575
## ServoMotor
* description:A servomotor is a rotary actuator that allows for precise control of angular position, velocity and acceleration
* quantity:1
* price:9$
* link:https://www.sparkfun.com/products/9065
## BreadBoard and Wires
* description:undefined
* quantity:1
* price:undefined
* link:undefined
## Resistors
* description:1k resistor
* quantity:1

# Steps
## To branch the light sensor and the resistor to the board
media: http://postimg.org/image/ca0ckkv29/f264ede2/
notes: The light sensor will detect the intensity of light and give a signal if there is the change in intensity. The resistor will serve as the stabilizer of the circuit
## To branch the servomotor to the board
media: http://postimg.org/image/kva61a5sz/1bfbde36/
notes: The servomotor moves with precision according to the set angles. This servomotor will close or open the gate
## Connect the circuit to the arduino
media: undefined
notes: The arduino will coordinate and control the whole circuit .But before connecting the arduino and the rest of the circuit, you should have uploaded the program to arduino.
## Place the light sensor in front of the light source
media: undefined
notes: The sensor and the light source face each other , then when something passes between them, there will be the change in the intensity of light .at light sensor that will mark that something has passed.
## Lastly power the arduino and text the system
media: undefined
notes: This power source will supply the needed current to the circuit. You can you any DC power supply from 9v to 12V
