Hello, I am fairly new to Arduino. I am Using an Arduino Uno with a HiLetgo BTS7960 43A High Power Motor Driver to control a 12v Linear actuator. I need it to open for 36 seconds when one button is pushed and close when a second button is pushed ( I have this part working). I need help with overriding the opening if the reverse button is pushed and vice versa for safety purposes.
byte mspeed=0; // Variable speed for actuator
int ForwardActuator=5; // Pin for Linear actuator
int ReverseActuator=6; // Pin for Linear actuator
void setup(){
pinMode(2,INPUT_PULLUP); // Button to extend Actuator
pinMode(3,INPUT_PULLUP); // Button to retract Actuator
pinMode(ForwardActuator,OUTPUT);
pinMode(ReverseActuator,OUTPUT);
}
void loop(){
if(digitalRead(2)== LOW & digitalRead(3)==HIGH){
mspeed=255; // Speed of actuator
analogWrite(ForwardActuator,0); // Sets the forward speed to 0
analogWrite(ReverseActuator,mspeed); // sets the reverse speed to max
delay(36000); // Allows actuator to close for 36 seconds
}
else if(digitalRead(2)== HIGH & digitalRead(3)==LOW){
mspeed=255; // Speed of actuator
analogWrite(ForwardActuator,mspeed); // Sets the open speed to max
analogWrite(ReverseActuator,0); // Sets the reverse speed to 0
delay(36000); // Allows actuator to open for 36 seconds
}
}
I appreciate all help, Thank you!
