marietjie 1:011f0bdaa7f5 2 A fictional IoT-enabled Ice cream machine dispenser arm state
marietjie 1:011f0bdaa7f5 3 The machine runs with an STM32F4 MCU; The Nucleo-F410RB is chosen for implementation, as it has serial communication, several digital outputs and 16 channel 12-bit ADC and more
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 4
marietjie 1:011f0bdaa7f5 5 Operation: Ice cream machine dispenser arm sensor provides 0-3.3 V (assume based on operating voltage
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 6 of MCU) to one ADC pin on STM32F4 MCU. Voltage is based on position of dispenser arm.
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 7 - voltage > 1.65V implies the arm is pressed down
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 8 - voltage < 1.65V implies the arm is released
marietjie 1:011f0bdaa7f5 9 To prevent rapid switching, hysteresis is introduced with a counter function, if arm is pressed down for more than 5 seconds, the digital output will go high.
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 10
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 11 Requirements:
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 12 1. Read ADC value and print over serial port
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 13 2. Digital output pin high if voltage>1.65V
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 14 3. Digital output pin low if voltage <1.65V
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 15
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 16 Assumptions:
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 17 1. The code can run at a low speed as ice cream machines do not dispense ice cream quickly
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 18 2. Low accuracy and low resolution due to nature of ice cream machine dispensing arms
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 19
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 20 Additional features
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 21 1. Temperature of ice cream mixture is important, assume temperature sensor can provide analogue
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 22 voltage to MCU
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 23 2. Level of ice cream mix in machine is important, assume a sensor can detect when the mixture drops
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 24 below a certain level, also be analogue voltage sensor output
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 25
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 26 ADC data on MCU:
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 27 Value from 0.0 to 1.0, depending on input voltage between 0.0V and
marietjie 0:28f2dba63d6c 28 3.3V; ADC default settings
