Hello everyone,
I have a project that I need help with. I have to program a track linear actuator using Arduino to control a flow rate in a syringe.
I have bought Track Linear Actuator from Firgelliauto ( without position feedback ) but am having a hard time programming it using Arduino. Also, I have 5V 2 channels relay with it and I am trying to code it and get consist movement at certain location along the track as a first step. Then move to the flow rate control step.
Here what I have bought,
- Linear Track Actuator - Mini Track Linear Actuators - 12v DC Linear Actuators
- Arduino Uno
- 5V 2 channels relay
- Buttons
- Wires
- Power Supply - To power the actuator
I have got forward and backward movements using two buttons, but what I would like to is
-First, getting a rang of movement (1-6) either using buttons or dialing number in Arduino software to get the actuator move forward to a certain distance and go back to original position.
-Second, getting control over the flow rate in the syringe. (potentiometer, speed controller ) maybe.
I need an advice on how to program this. I really appreciate your help.
