# Introduction

# Smart-Fault-Detector

## Project Description

The **Smart-Fault-Detector** is a specialized diagnostic device engineered to detect actuator faults and failures in high-stakes systems like rockets and robotics. By monitoring the "pulse" of an actuator through electrical and mechanical sensors, it identifies anomalies before they lead to catastrophic system failure.

## Hardware Architecture

The system is built around the **GLYPH-C3 (ESP32-C3)** microcontroller. The architecture is divided into modular blocks for power management, sensing, and user interface.
