Beginners • Re: Raspberry Pi with Door sensors

More questions than answers this time.
Starting with the big one, is this a real life application or education assignment?
If real life, its time to share ALL the relevant information, please.
If its for course work you need to let us know the brief.

Now for the follow ups:

1. We’ll match up entry to exit point just by using FIFO. There’s only one place to exit so the order will sort itself out.

How are you detecting/counting/controlling the Exit?

2. Between the gates and the exit, there can be 5 people in the queue at a time. The gate will not open for a sixth, until one of the cars in the queue breaks the exit sensor.

What are the cars? is this some sort of amusement park ride? (People queue in/cars leave)
Does each car only hold one person?

3. The gate will open and close for each entry and only one gate can open at a time. There will not be multiple entries for a single gate opening.

How are you interlocking the gates?
How are you powering the gate interlocks?

What is the purpose of the RPi(s) is it control or just monitoring?
