Project Idea:
A compact, handheld radar‑gun‑style system for measuring human running speed using IR gates. Two IR transmitter–receiver pairs placed at fixed start and end points detect when a person passes. The 8051 microcontroller measures elapsed time and computes speed, which is then displayed on an LCD.
components:
- 8051 Microcontroller

- IC Sockets
Software Specifications:
- Keil µVision IDE
- MC Programming Language: C
Project Features:
Real‑time human speed measurement (via IR gate timing)
8051 microcontroller for precise timing and computation
Numeric speed readout on 16×2 LCD
