First time poster here so go easy!
I'm a 4th year Computer Engineering student and my group and I are making an IOT smart car parking system. Part of that system will be units that are capable of of reading a basic I.R sensor, so we can detect if a parking space is available or not, and communicating that info over bluetooth 4.0. We are not allowed to use Arduino's and I'm not familiar with any micro-controllers so I was hoping someone could give me some options I can research that will work some common/affordable I.R sensors.
I found this(https://www.rakeshmondal.info/IR-object-detection) tutorial that looks promising but it doesn't look like the PIC18F4550 can communicate over bluetooth 4.0.
Suggestions for sensors would also be appreciated!
Thanks!!
