FACE_RECOGNITION_WITH_ARDUINO_UNO

This project integrates an Arduino Uno with a 16x2 LCD and implements face recognition using Python.

Requirements

Hardware:

• Arduino Uno (Arduino UNO R3)
• 16x2 LCD Display

Software:

• Arduino IDE
• Python (version 3.x)
• Visual Studio Desktop Development Tools
• CMake

Python Modules:

• OpenCV
• Dlib (requires CMake for installation)
• Face_recognition
• PySerial

How to Use

1. Clone the repository.
2. Upload ard_chaser.ino to the Arduino board using the Arduino IDE.
3. Modify the serial port name in the Face_Rec script:

   ArduinoConn = serial.Serial("YOUR_SERIAL_PORT", 9600)  # Replace "YOUR_SERIAL_PORT" with your actual port (e.g., "COM3" on Windows)

4. Run the Face_Rec script.

This setup will enable the Arduino to interface with the camera and display recognized individuals' names on the LCD. If a face is not recognized, the display will show "Unknown."
