Smart Conveyor System – IT Component Overview

The goal of this test is to implement an intelligent and reliable embedded system with real-time web visualization.

1. Intelligent Detection

Integrate a color sensor capable of detecting 4 waste types: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow
Implement reliable object detection using

Tasks

Connect and configure color sensor
Calibrate color recognition for 4 types
Implement presence detection logic

2. Conveyor Automation

Conveyor activates only when waste is detected

Tasks

Develop motor control logic for conveyor
Trigger conveyor based on presence signal

3. Web Interface – Real-Time Monitoring

Web interface displays quantity per waste type

Tasks

Design responsive and clean dashboard
Display real-time waste counters by color

4. Data Processing

Maintain accurate counting by waste type
Ensure real-time data updates

Tasks

Implement counter logic for each color
Use pub/sub and API to push data to UI

5. System Integration

Ensure reliable communication between Arduino (ATmega328P) and the web interface

Tasks

Use serial protocol
Parse and forward data from Arduino to web server (Arduino -> ROS -> Web site)
