Builds a working Smart Deposit Platform that detects coin value by measuring weight change with a load cell and an HX711 ADC, reads a 24‑bit two’s‑complement value via bit‑banged GPIO, and displays status on an HD44780 LCD. Code runs on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with Swift (Swift 5.x via community packages) using SwiftGPIO, sends deposits to a Keturah server‑side Swift backend and an iOS app, and demonstrably updates balances end‑to‑end.
