Pseudocode

The document describes the software development for an autonomous keropok lekor cooking machine. It includes block diagrams, specifications for components like the Arduino Uno microcontroller, and pseudocode for controlling processes like the stepper motors, thermocouples, heating elements, and conveyor belt. Pseudocode uses libraries and functions to automate tasks like taking temperature readings, turning heating elements on/off, and rotating the conveyor belt and tossing tray.
