Project Overview
A packaged controller for driving three vending-machine motors with sensor feedback and PC-based configuration.
Engineering Context
The project applies embedded motor control and desktop utilities to retail automation. The migrated archive includes 15 archived files (49.0 MB) that records the implementation and demonstration.
System Architecture
The system can be understood as an input and sensing layer, a control or processing layer, and an output, actuator, dashboard, or user-interface layer. The archived assets are retained in the organized knowledge base for future diagrams and deeper technical reconstruction.
