Welcome to the next tutorial of our raspberry pi programming tutorial. The previous tutorial showed us how to set up a weather station using the Internet of Things (IoT) on a Raspberry Pi 4. First, we studied how a weather station works on a fundamental level. Then we developed a Python script to collect data from the station. In contrast, we'll construct an automatic gate using a Raspberry Pi, a load cell, and an HX711 weight sensor.
These pressure-sensitive gates are common in shopping centers and showrooms; they open when someone is in the immediate vicinity and close again when the person is out of sight. Like the Automatic Gate, we just made, this one will open in response to weight or pressure and stay that way until the force is removed. If ...
