Check out and Crowd Monitoring System

Python
In the second m5stack fire device, a light unit will track the number of people checking in through an LED system on the right side of the first m5stack. While doing that, the tof unit, which is also connected to the second m5stack fire device, helps to track the number of people leaving. When the device tracks that 50 people are in the library, it will display "Library is FULL" on its screen and informing newcomers to "Please come back after 10 minutes". During this period, if people were to still check in, this m5stack fire device will beep 3 times to alert the librarians. This device will also display the number of people in the library as well as green, orange and red LED to display the level of crowd. The first button is to set the number of people to 0, second button is to -1 from the total number of people and third button to alert librarians of a need of help by user.

Check in System (Gate) and Sanitizer Dispenser

Python
In the first m5stack fire device, we have a check in system to allow people to scan to register their entry using newly produced library cards. After that, the device will display green LED on the left side of the device to signal to the user that they can proceed. Then, the device will also display a countdown timer for the dispensing of the sanitizer followed by the opening of the gate.
