Good day everyone! Can anyone help me integrate (code) the extend and retract of 12V linear actuator with this schematic diagram and code. i want to extend the actuator automatically after the car not moving for 3 seconds and the retract the actuator after 10 seconds.
code of the movement of the car only.
#include <AFMotor.h>
//initial motors pin
AF_DCMotor motor2(2, MOTOR12_1KHZ);
AF_DCMotor motor3(3, MOTOR34_1KHZ);
char command;
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); //Set the baud rate to your Bluetooth module.
}
void loop(){
if(Serial.available() > 0){
command = Serial.read();
Stop(); //initialize with motors stoped
//Change pin mode only if new command is different from previous.
//Serial.println(command);
switch(command){
case 'F':
forward();
break;
case 'B':
back();
break;
case 'L':
left();
break;
case 'R':
right();
break;
}
}
}
void forward()
{
motor2.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor2.run(FORWARD); //rotate the motor clockwise
motor3.setSpeed(255);//Define maximum velocity
motor3.run(FORWARD); //rotate the motor clockwise
}
void back()
{
motor2.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor2.run(BACKWARD); //rotate the motor anti-clockwise
motor3.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor3.run(BACKWARD); //rotate the motor anti-clockwise
}
void left()
{
motor2.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor2.run(BACKWARD); //rotate the motor anti-clockwise
motor3.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor3.run(FORWARD); //rotate the motor clockwise
}
void right()
{
motor2.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor2.run(FORWARD); //rotate the motor clockwise
motor3.setSpeed(255); //Define maximum velocity
motor3.run(BACKWARD); //rotate the motor anti-clockwise
}
void Stop()
{
motor2.setSpeed(0); //Define minimum velocity
motor2.run(RELEASE); //rotate the motor clockwise
motor3.setSpeed(0); //Define minimum velocity
motor3.run(RELEASE); //stop the motor when release the button
}
