The new Coronavirus is on it's peak, it cannot be simply beaten down. It is unpredictable: we remain unsure of its transmissibility and fatality rate. We do not know how far it has spread already and which person carries coronavirus inside them. The best way to keep safe is to take full precautions and follow the guidelines provided by health ministry.
As lockdown got opened, everyone started visiting houses of their relatives and friends. The major task is to identify whether the person who enters your house is safe or on. So here I designed a fever detection system which checks the temperature of the person standing at your door and give an alert on your phone whether that person is safe or not.
Installing Ubuntu- Install Ubuntu : https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
(we will do all the coding required for this project in Ubuntu terminal)
Account Setups:- Bolt Cloud:- https://cloud.boltiot.com/register/
- Twilio SMS Service:- https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio
(For these account setup refer to the videos provided in the training course if you face any type of difficulty.)
Hardware Setup:- Connection:- Connect the temperature sensor appropriately and do the connections using male to female jumper wires:-
- Connect the Vcc pin of the LM35 to 5v of the Bolt Wifi module.
- The output pin of the LM35 connects to A0 (Analog input pin) of the Bolt Wifi module.
- GND pin of the LM35 connects to the GND.
- Connect the positive terminal of the LED and buzzer to the digital pin 1 and 2 respectively of the Bolt WiFi module and negative terminal to the GND.
At last, connect the Bolt Wifi module with Power Bank or Charger or laptop and connect it with WiFi using Bolt-Mobile App.
WorkingWhile we run the program, both buzzer and led will run for 0.5 seconds which indicates that the user has to put the temperature sensors between his arms.
After this, the sensor will take the reading for 15 seconds and then compare the taken reading from the threshold value which I set here as 380.(equals 37 degree Celsius, °C = sensor_value*100/1024 )
If the value read by sensor is less than 380 i.e 37 °C, then he will get to know that he is safe through blinking leds and person sitting inside house will receive a message that 'the person is safe and he can enter in the house'.
If the sensor value crosses its threshold value i.e 380 then the person get notified by the buzzer beep and the person inside the house will receive message through twilio that 'the person is not safe.'
After the loop is over, the buzzer will buzz for 5 times which indicates that the person is tested. The next loop will start after 5 seconds to test the next person.
