2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
It will be a simple box device consisting of a simple digital interface showing the services provided in the place, showing the waiting number for each person for maximum capacity available in the pandemic phase for each service. Each service has an average time so it will calculate the amount of time to allow more people to finish the services needed.
It may include some extra (nice to have) feature like connecting through a mobile application for providing information about the condition of the flow.
It can work for small business owners or large companies.
it's considered a smart device depending on the time sensor, the input including an up and down button and on and off button, and output showing on a digital screen. we'll depend on Arduino as a brain doing some programming for better crowd management

the device face consists of digital screen and 2 pushbuttons
the side part has a hole for power supply wire access
the internal component is the brain (Arduino uno )
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
clients choose the service and know their orders to prevent crowding
Action: LCD displays the services then the client order
Sensing: none
User Input: pushbutton
Complete User Features
none
Action: none
Sensing: none
User Input: none
Nice-to-have User Features
on- off switch not to deal with the power source directly
Action: /
Sensing: /
User Input: on-off switch
