I am very new to this Arduino business so I need help. Needing a code for a 12 volt gear motor powering a sawmill carriage back and forth. I'm using a syren 50 driver and Arduino uno. Going to be wiring in 2 limit switches just to stop the forward and reverse momentum. I'm using a 10k potentiometer.
Welcome to the forum
You started a topic in the Uncategorised category of the forum when its description explicitly tells you not to
Your topic has been moved to a relevant category. Please be careful in future when deciding where to start new topics
I'm busy and this will probably be my one and only use for the Arduino. Id definitely be willing to pay someone for a working code and wiring diagram
That'd be awesome. Thanks a ton
Thanks.
Where do I find it?
You are reading and replying to it now
... and you'll see that all offers come in as PM and not in this thread.
Yes sir
Potential helpers are going to ask for a lot more detail… be prepared.
I have 100.00 us dollars if anyone is interested in this project. Thanks
If I understand correctly, you want to run the carriage from one endstop to the other, correct?
So push a button to start, then run it to one end, stop motor when the limit is tripped, pause long enough for the carriage inertia to come to an end, then drive to the other limit switch, lather, rinse repeat?
And you need a wiring diagram, code to accomplish the amount and a Bill of Materials for all parts required.
Does that sound correct?
I pretty much have the materials just needing code and wiring diagram. The limit switches are a fail safe to stop the carriage in case I don't stop it first.
Also I want to use a switch with on/ off/on so I can control forward and reverse
If it controls movement of a saw that's running, you'll want to ensure that you have a "deadman" switch of some sort, such as a pedal you must stand on (a) for the saw to spin and (b) for the motor to move the device.

It will have a on/off/on switch
Arduino uno rev3 to a syren 50 amp motor controller. Potentiometer to control speed. On/off/on switch. 2 limit switches . Limit switch is just to stop the carriage if I don't both ways
The occurrence of a human having an accident or an operator needing to bail out for any reason at all (maybe the sawdust caught fire?) causes the saw to stop moving.
It's very important to include such a feature in any automation, in my opinion.
Since you're willing to pay someone to write the program for you, if I were you, I'd insist upon such a feature being written in in software as well as designed in hardware.
If I took the job, I'd also insist on this being written into the code, for the sake of my own conscience.
I understand. I wasn't going to incorporate that but if it needs it then it surely can be added for sure.
It might be as simple as a fuse protected pedal (switch) to the AC power immediately after the power supply.
Take your idea seriously from a safety standpoint, you may elicit greater interest in someone helping you, in my opinion. I can't and won't say definitively, since I only speak for myself and nobody else on the forum and I certainly do not speak on behalf of Arduino, to be clear.
