Conveyor Belt Control System

Component	Description	Pins	Purpose
STM32F103C8T6 Microcontroller	Central processing unit for the project, operates at 72 MHz and controls other components.	Various GPIO pins	Controls motor, LCD display, and processes input from sensors and buttons.
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor	Measures distance by sending sound waves and measuring echo return time.	VCC: 5V, TRIG: Trigger pin, ECHO: Echo pin, GND: Ground	Detects objects on the conveyor to check for height requirements.
LCD1602 Display with PCF8574 I2C Expander	16x2 character LCD with I2C expander for easier control.	VCC, GND, SDA, SCL	Displays messages and status information for the user.
L7805 Voltage Regulator	Converts 12V down to stable 5V for other components.	IN: 12V input, OUT: 5V output, GND: Ground	Supplies 5V power to components like the HC-SR04 and LCD display.
TIP31C NPN Transistor	NPN transistor used as a motor driver to control the conveyor motor.	-	Acts as a switch for controlling the motor with signals from STM32.
Optical Encoder	Outputs pulses corresponding to motor rotation, used to measure speed.	VCC, OUT, GND	Provides feedback on motor speed for accurate conveyor control.
STOP Button	Button to manually stop the motor.	-	Allows manual stopping of the conveyor belt.
Object Detection Button	Button for initiating object detection by the ultrasonic sensor.	-	Starts object height detection.
DIODE-1206	Flyback diode used to protect the transistor from motor back EMF.	-	Prevents damage to transistor from reverse voltage spikes.
DC Motor	Motor that drives the conveyor belt.	-	Moves the belt to transport objects along the system.
Capacitors (100µF, 4.7µF, 10µF)	Electrolytic capacitors for power smoothing and stabilization.	-	Filters and stabilizes power for various components.
