Arduino code Pick and place with stepper motors with encoders

Projects General Guidance
1

Hi all,

I want to make an arduino code that consists of pick and place object with stepper motors with encoders.

The code is for a robot with 6 axis (6 stepper motors and 6 drivers).

Where I do begin? Is it hard?

Thanks in advance.

A properly designed machne using steppers require no encoders. 3D printers, laser cutters, plotters, etc. use no encoders, they all depend on steppers that are strong enough to never miss steps so step counting is reliable. A study of how the above mentiond machines are made will be informative.

Here is a good page on stepper motor basics.

Is it hard?

It is not a beginner project.

A lot of complexity depends on what you are picking and placing. Checker board tokens are not so hard. Surface mount components on double sided circuit boards are quite a bit beyond Arduino pick and place capability.
