Need to know if what i try to do is possible

Is it possible to connect 5 pushbuttons, 1 esp32-cam, 1 dc 12v motor and 2 5v dc to motors to arduino uno

I plan the project to be controlled by a pc

the project is like small automatic elevator, that able to lift objects with maximum weight of 3 kg at the speed at 10 cm/s.

Yes, it is possible. Please mark this as a solution.

Hi, @proof_of_the_void
Welcome to the forum.

Can you please tell us your electronics, programming, arduino, hardware experience?

Can you please tell us what your application is?

Thanks.. Tom.. :smiley: :+1: :coffee: :australia:

I dont have much hardware experience, but i am excellent at programming c and c++, and have some experience with electronics and arduino.
the application is like sorter, you say you want to put something at ceartin floor, see if the pushbutton is pushed, if not, it place the object, if yes it ask the user again and record everything.

Sounds interesting. Enjoy your project!

Since you don't seem confident in the hardware side, please post a schematic of what you want to build, and you'll likely get (mostly) constructive feedback. No fritzing diagrams, please.

I have no idea how to create schematic

you can use a pen, an old envelope, and a few minutes of time. Mimic other schematics you see on line. + voltages at the top, gnd, or negative if you prefer, at the bottom. Signal flows left to right, so inputs (buttons, etc.) on the left, outputs (motors, solenoids, LEDs, etc.) on the right. Show all connections. When the sketch is done, take a photo and post it in a new message here.
Or, use any of the common free CAD packages, though that will involve a learning curve of it's own.
If you browse through the Tutorials section, you'll see some ideas to start from. I know there's a good posting on schematic creation, but this morning I don't seem to be able to find it.
Good luck!
Keep in mind, though you may not see the point in all that time and effort, a good schematic is the core go-to communication tool for electronics work, used by everyone 'in the profession' to ensure accuracy and completeness; if you're here to learn, it's a good place to start.
