Actuators & Control
DC Motors & Drivers
Car wiper DC motor and BTS7960 driver control conveyor movement and speed.
Servo Motors
Microservo motors with wood sticks operate pushers for precise package diversion.
Repurposed DVDRW Drive
An old DVDRW drive acts as a cost-effective linear pusher for small items.

Actuators & Control
Push Button
The push button functions as an emergency stop, immediately halting all operations when pressed to ensure safety and prevent damage to packages or the system.
DC Power Supply
(ATX-P4)
The DC power supply provides the necessary voltage and current t all components, ensuring stable and reliable operation.
Relay Module (1 Channel)
The relay module controls the DVDRW drive, allowing it to turn on/off and return to its original position after pushing a package.
Local Control
