TYPE 4- ESP32 based 4 Digits Digital Objects Counter with WiFi Support
TYPE 4- ESP32-Based 4-Digit Digital Object Counter (0–9999)
Overview
This ESP32-powered 4-digit digital counter is a smart and versatile device designed to count objects automatically or manually. It can display values from 0 to 9999 using a bright, colorful LED matrix display. The system uses a photoresistor–laser beam mechanism to detect passing objects and increment the count with precision.
With built-in WiFi, you can access a browser-based control panel directly from your phone or computer—no app installation required. Simply connect to the ESP32’s WiFi access point and manage the counter wirelessly.
Common Features:
-
Automatic Object Counting:
A laser beam constantly shines on the photoresistor. When the beam is interrupted (object passes through), the counter increases by one. Users can restrict photoresistor from counting via web interface. -
Manual Controls
Three onboard buttons let you control the counter easily:-
UP: Increase count manually
-
DOWN: Decrease count manually
-
RESET: Reset the counter to zero
