I'm just starting to get familiar with Arduino. I want to create a DC motor controller to modify the speed and time. Example. Controlling a Pickleball machine ball toss speed, say 35mph, wait 2 seconds then 20 mph toss, wait 2 seconds, and toss at 10mph. I also need to be able to change the parameters while practicing with the machine, with a control remote, or better with an iPhone.
Give us an idea of your skills, what projects with the Arduino have you done before?
What have you done so far?
No experience whatsoever.
Willing to put in the hours and hoping for someone to be able to guide me.
Thanks
Do you have this machine and want to control it, or do you need to build the ball toss machine?
I have the machine
Slingerbag pickleball machine.
Thanks
Hi, @josec02
What electrical and electronic experience do you have?
How will you interface the Arduino with the machine?
Tom.... 
Hi Tom,
No experience whatsoever.
I was hoping for someone to guide me through or sell the actual connector already built and for me to plug it in. Don’t even know if that’s possible.
The machine has a top and a bottom dc motor with a rechargeable battery and an electrical front panel that has a switch to turn on and off, a rotary knob that adjusts the ball feed speed another knob that control topspin and underspin and a final knob that controls a carousel with how frequently the balls are tossed
Thank you,
Jose
So you want to automate a machine that is currently operated manually?
Do you have a schematic of this machine with a list of part numbers used in the machine?
