The Automated Conveyor Motor is an Embedded Systems project that combines PID controller and Safety stop, built with Servo motor. The project follows a clean, modular firmware pipeline where input handling, processing, and output control stay separated, making it easy to test, extend, and present. It showcases practical embedded techniques while producing a working, demo-ready device.
Manual control and monitoring for this task is slow, bulky, and cannot respond in real time. Without an embedded approach built on Safety stop and Servo motor, users cannot build compact, low-power, responsive systems that interact directly with hardware.
This project applies Embedded Systems techniques through PID controller, orchestrated with Servo motor and Safety stop. The firmware is designed for reliability and real-time performance, with clear input, processing, and output layers. It produces consistent, reusable results and can be adapted to related embedded tasks with minimal changes.

The project is layered: the input layer reads sensors and controls through PID controller; the processing layer runs logic with Servo motor and Safety stop; and the output layer drives displays and actuators via Motor driver interface. Shared timing, logging, and driver modules support all layers, keeping the firmware robust and easy to extend.
