Introduction

Our hardware implementation for make shopping essay. so that we did at can detected the product when they add it to the cart. our system can automatically be updated. the item added and remove will be deducted through the Barcode reader,camera,laser sensor, and weight sensor

    • Items can added into the cart after scanning barcode

    • Weight sensor can detected Items are removed or add
    • leaser can detect when any changes occur in the cart

Device overview

 

Keypad:

Use the keypad to make a confirmation about the product adding and removal. And you 

can give inputs when the system asks you to give any inputs.


LCD Display:

LCD display shows the messages and instructions for users. It helps to do shopping using
