How It Works

The IoT based Entry and Exit Monitoring System operates by utilizing an RFID or NFC mechanism alongside the IndusBoard Coin development board to track the movement of individuals in real-time. When an authorized RFID tag passes near the sensor, the IndusBoard reads the unique identifier using the integrated RFID library. The system then processes this access event and communicates data through its web server capabilities, updating a remote dashboard to show whether a person has entered or exited. To keep the hardware compact and portable, the entire circuit is powered by a 3.3V battery. Visual feedback of system status or access logs is presented locally on a round display driven by either an SSD1306 or GC9A01 driver. Additionally, the L89 GPS Module can capture location data to timestamp or geotag entry and exit events. The Arduino IDE is used to program the IndusBoard, integrating the SPI library for peripheral communication, the RFID library for tag reading, and the Web Server library for hosting the remote interface over a network.

Frequently Asked Questions

What software do I need to program the IndusBoard Coin?

You will need the Arduino IDE installed on your computer, along with the SPI Library, RFID Library, and Web Server Library to handle communication and networking.

How does the system display information locally?

It uses a round display (compatible with SSD1306 or GC9A01 drivers) connected to the IndusBoard to visually show status updates and monitoring data.

Can this project run completely wirelessly?

Yes, the system is designed to be powered by a 3.3V battery, allowing it to operate as a portable entry and exit monitoring station.
