Liquid Dispenser
EMB / 04Overview
The project, in short.
The Liquid Dispenser System is an electronics and automation prototype that connects sensor input to a controlled dispensing mechanism.
The need
Manual dispensing is difficult to make consistent. The prototype needed a repeatable control path from sensing to actuation, within a simple physical build.
The response
An Arduino-controlled prototype using sensors and a servo motor, with the mechanical parts modelled in FreeCAD.
What it does
The working parts.
A small, testable hardware system built around the control loop between sensor input and the dispensing action.
