Hi All
I am looking to create an application that monitors production. The application itself is not a problem to code, what I am stuck on, dont even know if its possible is how to detect the products.
I thought of 2 ways, a standard 12v Photosensor, but not sure how I could wire that up to the pc, I did think about maybe having it hooked up to the serial port on a PC, then have the app detect the change in voltage on the serial port and count.
Or
Use a usb webcam and somehow detect the beginning of a box then the end of a box and then count up.
Has anyone done something similar and if so, shed a little light on a good approach for the actual counting of products.
Regards
Djbell
