Miniature Conveyor Belt

Miniature conveyor belt for simulation and having fun working with sensors and actuators, all controllable with Raspberry Pi. All sensors and actuators of the conveyor belt are connected to the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi via a separate circuit board. The board also contains a motor driver, a push button and three LEDs.

As simulation software Node-RED is used locally on the Raspberry Pi. Based on this, the sensors and actuators could also be mapped as device shadows in the AWS IoT platform (Software follows :smile:).

Components

The following components were used and can be screwed directly to the 3D-printed parts.
