I used to design machines, so I didn't do much about machine automation.
But this week was meaningful because we worked together with the same team members to create the machine. We drew up a schedule to work in order.
We used the sensor below.
- Stepper motor
- 16 key touch sensor
- LCD display
Stepper moter code
Our team has designed a large number of cookie boxes to control using four step motors.
16 key touch sensor connect LCD display
I connected the button with the LCD. You can check the signal of the button I pressed on the LCD and drop the cookie in that position by sending a signal.
Motor control with RAMPS.
Operate the four step motors in turn.
The x-axis, y-axis, z axis, and rotation give a total of four movements. We have checked the motors for each axis. Finally, we drove the machine and dropped the cookies. Success !!!
As the coding was handled by my other team members as a main player, you can go to the links below for more information. Thank you.
