⚙️ Setup and Installation

Web Server Setup

1. Configure your web server (Apache/Nginx)
2. Import database structure from the SQL file
3. Update database connection parameters in config/db_connect.php

ESP32 Setup

1. Connect hardware components according to pin definitions in module/main.cpp
2. Update WiFi credentials and server URL
3. Flash the code to ESP32 using Arduino IDE or VSCode with PlatformIO

📊 Features

• Tracks parking occupancy in real-time
• Automated entry/exit with RFID authentication
• History of parking activity
• Responsive web dashboard with light/dark mode
• Visual indicators for available/occupied spaces

🔧 Usage

1. Access the dashboard through a web browser
2. Monitor parking status and historical data
3. Use authorized RFID cards to enter/exit the parking area
4. The system automatically updates the database when vehicles enter or exit
