Hello all
Im new to programming and dont really know how or where to start
I am building a machine that will pickup a cell on one axis (z) with top and bottom prox switches and move it with another axis (x) to a determined amount of steps (or another prox sw) then Z will drop in place and both return to origin for another loop and repeat a certain amount of times
Its more of a sequence of steps one finishes and the next starts
Any help is greatly appreciated
That is a lot for someone who is new to programming.
Suggestions:
Get an Arduino. Perhaps an Uno or a Nano or whatever is inexpensive.
Get the Arduino IDE, free for downloading. Set it up.
Work through the examples that come with the IDE.
You may need to learn some C/C++ programming first. Do what works best for you - take a course, do some reading, watch some videos. At some point, you MUST do some programming of your own.
Good Luck!
