Hi everyone,
I'm looking to build my first Arduino Project, and I would like to get some advice/help on where to start.
I have a standup desk at work, which is currently manually operated with a hand crank.
I want to use a stepper motor to automate this!
In the long term, I would like to hook this up to an API so I can access it through a web application.
Short term, a button to move the desk up and down!
I've attached a few photos of the desk.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Questions encouraged!
Thanks heaps,
Montskak
Cheers Delta_G!
Any ideas about stepper motors? I'm wondering how the power will work, although I'm unsure of the exact weight I know the desk top will be reasonably heavy. A friend suggested a gearbox, however I don't have a good idea where to start!
mechmate is a large format cnc router. it uses steppers with a geared head. very high quality design
a NEMA-23 triple stack geared stepper would handle your table. need a suitable driver.
You may find something useful in stepper motor basics.
You should also consider whether a simple geared DC motor driving a screw would be a simpler and cheaper option.
