This study involves designing and constructing a Raspberry Pi-operated shopping cart that uses RFID via Wi-Fi to automatically tally purchases for a smarter shopping experience. Key components include an Arduino microcontroller, Raspberry Pi, RFID reader, servo motors, LCD monitor, and Wi-Fi dongle. The cart will use C programming for the Arduino and Processing for interfacing, and items will have RFID tags containing product names and prices. The study will evaluate the performance of the cart but not design individual components. It is limited to using Wi-Fi communication and a fixed tunnel size, and requires technical assistance for price/ad changes.

This study covers the design and construction of Raspberry Pi operated
auto-credit using RFID via Wi-Fi for Smarter Shopping Cart that aims to meet the trend of technology and to also increase the consumers satisfactory rating! This involves the use of "rduino #icrocontroller$ Raspberry Pi$ RFID reader$ Servo motors$ %S& Wi-Fi dongle$ 'CD monitor and micro s(itches! This study (ill also ma)e use of C Programming for "rduino #icrocontroller$ Processing Programming language and Wi-Fi as the medium of communication! The construction of the frame and the evaluation of the performance of the actual pro*ect is also part of this study! It is operated by the battery supply of +, volts! The 'CD monitor has the supply of +---,.- volts and a po(er consumption of +/ (atts$ an inverter is used! The capability of the pro*ect is to have a micro s(itches that (ould respond as the choice buttons of every transaction! The shopper (ould place his item inside the cart through the tunnel! The tunnel measures 0 1 0 inches! The grocery cart dimension is ,+2W 3 4526 3 472'! The shopping cart is enclosed (ith a metal sheet for instances that a customer (ill buy small grocery items! For every push cart$ there (ill be a master card as the )ey to access the full feature of the cart and (ill serve as the identification of the customers transaction! The RFID tags are attached to each item of the grocery that (ill serve as its identification that contains the name of the product and its price! The monitors and computers that are already available in the grocery store can be used for the server and display of the shopping cart! The pro*ect does not covers the design and construction of the modules that are available in the mar)et such as "rduino microcontroller$ Raspberry Pi$ RFID reader$ Servo motors$ 'CD monitor and %S& Wi-Fi dongle! The RFID reader has a ma1imum reading capacity of +7 cards (ithout e1ternal memory! The programming language is limited to the development of the 8%I 98raphical %ser Interface: for the 'CD and for hard(are interfaces such as "rduino microcontroller and Raspberry pi! This study (ill only deal (ith the use of Wi-Fi transmission bet(een computers and modules! There is no other means of communication that (ill substitute in the absence of Wi-Fi! Construction and ;valuation of the study (ill not include the ma1 distance of the Wi-Fi connection that the establishment can provide! Since$ the measure of the tunnel is fi1ed in si<e$ it limits the item that a shopper could buy! Technical assistance of the programmer is needed to help the grocery company for any change of the prices and advertisements! Significance of the Project This study (ill give an innovation and convenience in ta)ing grocery! =o($ the time of manually scanning of consumer items is the common problem and this study came to find a solution for the benefit of the advancing technology in the society! The study (ill benefit the follo(ing> Shoppers The shoppers of the supermar)et are the main beneficiaries of the proposed pro*ect! The innovated cart (ill provide them more ease and convenience in budgeting their means by the use of the price indicator sho(n at the screen as (ell as the current total of the items they have purchased! Shop Owner "nother beneficiary is the o(ner of the shop! The Raspberry Pi operated auto- credit using RFID via Wi-Fi for Smarter Shopping Cart (ill serve as an added attraction that (ill get the interest of the customer! Since it is a ne( attraction$ people tend to be curious and to patroni<e (hat is easy and convenient! #oreover the database application provides ease for inventory purposes! This (ill also give them profitable transaction to companies for advertising their product! Proponents "nother beneficiary of the study is the Proponents! This (ill enable them to apply their theory into practice and sho(case their technical s)ills! Product Companies ?ne of the features of the shopping cart is advertisement function! This (ill allo( the companies to promote their products at the current time the customer is more li)ely to buy! This type of advertisement (ill serve as a direct approach in encouraging customers to buy their proposed product!
