Automated Conveyor Load Detection System

This project implements an Automated Conveyor Load Detection System on a Cortex-M3 32-bit MCU using Keil-RTX, a real-time operating system (RTOS). The system is designed to monitor conveyor load status and detect faults in real time.

Key features

• Task Scheduling: The system features multiple tasks for handling load detection, status logging, and fault reporting. These tasks operate within the RTOS framework to ensure efficient and responsive system performance.

• Synchronization Mechanisms: Semaphores are used for task synchronization, enabling smooth and coordinated operation between concurrent tasks.

• Event Handling: Events are utilized for real-time signaling, allowing the system to respond promptly to changes in status or fault conditions.

• Inter-Process Communication (IPC): Mailboxes facilitate communication between tasks, ensuring effective data transfer and coordination across the system.

• On-chip components: UART for displaying system status and Timer for generating delays;

• Off-chip components: LCD for motor status, DC Motor for simulating conveyor belt operation, and LED for indicating faulty cartons.
