Investigation and Development of a Modular Control Board for Advanced, Automated Dispensing Machines

This project will investigate a low cost, modular control board that enables centralized control, data collection, and communication between the sensors and devices required for advanced, automated dispensing machines. The objective of this project is to develop a standardized, low-cost microcontroller, allowing for different sensors and devices to be easily integrated together. Additionally, programs will be developed to facilitate the communication and control of the sensors and devices which will be integrated with existing software. This project will develop a novel, modular approach and apply it in a practical, industrial setting.
