Good day! I'm a beginner in this (actually, I don't have the beginner idea and knowledge for this because I'm really clueless), our project required us to use Arduino uno (sorry, I'm not fluent in English). Our teacher made us create a smart locking system using both facial recognition and password-based locks and our teacher also made us include a feature where it sends messages to the owner if a face is not recognized and a password is incorrect for the third time. I've watched some videos about it however, I'm really confused about like what's the exact things I should use for this project and how do I connect the wiring. I'm sorry guys, I'm just in senior high school. Our group decided to use an ESP32 cam for the facial recognition thingy and the membrane switch module for the password. I really need to understand this because I was tasked to create a schematic diagram but I couldn't really grasp the whole thing. Please, don't judge me. I'm very clueless about these things. If you could make it easier for me to understand, I would very much appreciate it. THANK YOU, THANK YOU HUHU T-T
This is something to discuss with your teacher if you don’t know where to start . I can’t conceive of a teacher giving you a task that doesn’t relate to class work you have already done .
What have you been taught about coding and sensors in class , electrical circuits and how do draw them ??
What have you investigated about facial recognition techniques ?
Have you investigated how to draw and attempted a schematic ? Can we see it ?
What have you done so far and why ?
People here will help with specifics but are reluctant to do the work for you , we dont need the grades and you need to do the learning .
Sorry if this sounds hash but it’s really not fair to get others to do your project .
That's actually the problem huhu because our teacher is not an expert in this field. She's our research teacher (I don't know if you get what I mean). Our teacher didn't teach us coding, sensors, and etc. It's something that we have to do on our own. T-T
I'm really sorry about the facial recognition techniques. I don't know as of the moment. I still haven't started with the schematic because I'm having a hard time understanding how to because the video that I've been following used a raspberry pi and we opted for the arduino uno.
I'm very much fine with the specifics. I'm not asking for someone to do the work because we'll have to explain it to the class how the system works huhu. I want myself to understand even if it's a little. It's very okay if you could tell me the basics.
I'm very sorry. Your insights or what you think is very much of a help to me!
Poor You, and class, having a person not teching You, only pushing You out on the Interrnet.
What's the name of the corse, the subject?
it's research, somewhat similar to making a thesis project but not really a thesis project because it's research (i don't know if this is clear)
I see, research, not actually learning the theory about coding, electronics etc.
Learning how/where to copy/steal design.
Why not do research about things the pupils do know?
Okey, not Your fault!
No judgement!
Let me give you the advice my mother gave me so many years ago.
I was in perhaps the third grade and was give what we called "story problems". A written description of a mathematical problem. I could not decide what to do!
Her advice was to write down everything that I did know about the described problem. Only then look at what I did not know. That last part turned out to be a very tiny part of the whole story.
You can do the same by making a list of what you do know about the problem you have been given. Only then worry about the remaining pieces and examine them one at a time.
This plan has worked for me for my entire lifetime and it will for you, also.
You are in luck! Examples for facial recognition and membrane keyboard number entry can be found on this (and others) web site: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/
our project required us to use Arduino uno
Unfortunately, the ESP32-CAM is not an Arduino Uno.
If the class is "research" then your group should have discovered the subject is far too complicated at your level. That is not saying your research failed, rather, your research should continue to determine the necessary knowledge and skills required to make this subject a reality. A good title would be, "Arduino facial recognition: It IS rocket science." Or, "What not to pick as your first project." So many people show up here with, "I game, therefore making an autonomous drone should take an afternoon." It ain't, and your group and the teacher need to know that.
That is a difficult project even for people with experience.
