Hi,
Im relatively new to Arduino so would greatly appreciate some code advice. I posted a similar message the other day but have now had to switch to the Arduino Motor Shield R3.
I need to run two DC Motors using the Arduino motor shield. I need to run one motor forward on Motor A for 2450, then run another motor on Motor B after Motor A for 2600, then stop both of them for 30000, then repeat again.
I have managed to work out some of the code but cant get them delay at the right times, motor B seems to come on for too long.
void setup() {
//Setup Channel A
pinMode(12, OUTPUT); //Initiates Motor Channel A pin
pinMode(9, OUTPUT); //Initiates Brake Channel A pin
//Setup Channel B
pinMode(13, OUTPUT); //Initiates Motor Channel A pin
pinMode(8, OUTPUT); //Initiates Brake Channel A pin
}
void loop(){
//Motor A forward @ full speed
digitalWrite(12, LOW); //Establishes forward direction of Channel A
digitalWrite(9, LOW); //Disengage the Brake for Channel A
analogWrite(3, 255); //Spins the motor on Channel A at full speed
delay(2450);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //Engage the Brake for Channel A
//Motor B forward @ full speed
digitalWrite(13, HIGH); //Establishes forward direction of Channel B
digitalWrite(8, LOW); //Disengage the Brake for Channel B
analogWrite(11, 255); //Spins the motor on Channel B at full speed
delay(2600);
digitalWrite(9, HIGH); //Engage the Brake for Channel B
delay(30000);
}
Many thanks!!
