System Operation

Normal Operation Flow:

1. STM32F411RE continuously generates simulated telemetry data (no real sensors)
2. ESP32-S3 requests data via I2C every 5 seconds
3. Touch Interface allows manual LED control and system interaction
4. Serial Output provides CSV telemetry for monitoring center
5. Real-time Display shows current vehicle status

Simulation Modes:

The STM32 data generator includes 3 simulation modes:

1. Normal Mode: Standard vehicle operation
2. Fault Mode: Simulates system faults and reduced performance
3. Charging Mode: Simulates vehicle charging with energy recovery

Modes automatically cycle every 30 seconds for demonstration purposes.
