I'm trying to finish up a project and I'm in need of an expert on programming Arduino.
I'm an engineer but code writing and computers is definitely not my strengths.
The Project:
It involves programming a Nema 34 Stepper motor with a driver, controlled with a variable speed foot pedal as well as a potentiometer when selected. I want a momentary start and stop button as well as a momentary "surge" or "turbo" button. The foot pedal and direction of rotation from the stepper will be controlled with toggle switches. Last thing is it will have a emergency stop and corresponding led lights when the emergency stop is either tripped or operational. Right now I have an Arduino Uno r3 for this but if there is better suited boards I'm open to suggestions.
Application:
I'm making a welding positioner integrated with a wireless foot pedal.
Pay:
I have no idea what something like this would cost or how long it would take one of you geniuses to figure out and program. Let me know and we can work out a price.
I have the positioner chassis made and the switch panel in place all I need to do is to wire it up and upload the program. Looking for someone to help me out ASAP with code and provide schematics too.
such beginners code i make just for fun. but if you donate something for help for the Ukraine, it will be great.
ok. You got stepper motor and appropriate driver. driver has stepping setting pins, DIR and Step, also EN. We need to know how short impulse stepper can handle and not try go over this limit.
It is recommend wired pedal, due to delay, distortion, jamming, interfering, etc.
Do you have schema?
yes i have nema 34 and appropriate driver running on 36 volt power supply. I do not have a schematic. I was hoping to get one with the code developer. The control interface I want to use has a place for wireless foot pedal as well as wired. the wireless foot pedal is a standard product made by miller electric im fitting into this system.
Do you have any other questions? i also have some pictures i can send you if that would help visualize things
Emergency stop should cut power and should not be dependent on Arduino code. You can detect power and light indicators though.
I don't mean to speak for @kolaha, but when I have worked on projects with no access to the hardware, I found it helpful to write tiny programs to prove out control of that hardware and work towards the ultimate goal in small steps.
seems reasonable, but 1 stepper and some switches even with 1 pedal sound like a piece of cake.
I mean it is so simple that it is shame for me to take money for such favor.
Look at my project code and docs: Alarm Clock
Reply here if interested. I'm retired so pay isn't much of an issue as the challenge. I'm industrial process control automation engineer. My work output speaks for itself.
I have a old Tru Bolt pin code electric deadbolt, I've been reading tutorials on making it a Arduino controlled. Before I buy a new keypad I'm curious if I can use the existing keypad on the deadbolt face or I'll just swap to a normal face and keep the motorized back plate. I know there is a bit of corrosion on the solder joints but I want to figure out if I can use it or not before I take care of that. This board has 12 wires 1-0, # and * keys and 8 LEDs. Any insight how I c...
