Methodology
1) Sensor Setup : Piezoelectric sensors are placed under a platform to
capture the mechanical pressure of footsteps.
2) Data Acquisition: The sensors generate voltage when stepped on,
which is read by the Arduino using the analogRead() function.
3) Processing: The Arduino processes the voltage data and converts it
into energy readings, while also counting the footsteps.
4) Display: The real-time data is shown on an LCD screen using the
LiquidCrystal_I2C library.
5) Energy Storage: Generated energy is stored in a battery for later
use
