I have an Ender 3 V2 3D printer that I upgraded to be 400x400x450 put a laser on and got rid of everything that wasn't needed for the laser. The controller I have for my laser only uses the x and y axis stepper motors and I would like to not have to adjust the laser height by hand. I have a dual Z Axis setup with 2 Creality nema 17 42-34 motors. I also have an Arduino UNO R4 WIFI, some TMC2209 drivers and some rotary encoders. What I would like to do is be able to raise and lower laser with the rotary encoder but I have no clue on how to do this. I am completely new to using Arduino and don't know anything about coding. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer. So here's my problem I have a lot more money than time and although I would love to learn all of this I imagine that it is going to take me quite some time because I'm an over the road truck driver and work 11+ hours a day 7 days a week and I'm usually just exhausted when I'm done for the day. I will definitely take the time and start learning this stuff when I have free time but I'm looking for a quicker solution for the time being. Would I just be better off just grabbing a new Arduino? If so which one would you suggest?
