Uitgiftemuur

The idea for the Uitgiftemuur started when the nuts & bolts section at our friend's workshop started to become messy.

We are currently building a prototype of a dispenser wall, which could sort out these small parts in a very organized way. The core principle is the usage of a grid of 3D printed buckets, connected in a grid, allowing for a large number of elements to be controlled with a limited number of pins. Buckets are ordered via a binary system, ie. containing 1, 2, 4, 8, 16+ items, in order to get an exact number of items from the wall.

A front-end (SCADA) application is used to control the wall and keep track of the inventory. This application is built with Flutter and communicates with the Arduino's via a Modbus Serial/RTU connection.

The project is currently under development, stay tuned for updates!
