idea is to use a touch screen interface to select boom sections and the location I want them to travel to.Īny hardware suggestions for the drivers?Ī quick look at the bigeasy says it should be easy to use. I intend to control the motors based on distance to travel. there is only one endstop which is for the nema 8. the motors work when connected directly to my mega board but not to the driver. I have a big easy driver but for some reason I can’t get it to work. I need to select hardware to control these motors. I have the idea of how I want to achieve the mechanisation of the telescopic boom.ġ_ 2 x micro steppers to control the retraction of a locking pin, the motors work simultaneously in parallelĢ_ 2 x micro steppers to control locking pins to pick up the boom section, the motors work simultaneously in parallelģ_ 1 x nema 8 to control the carrier that hitches to the boom section and moves it.
I am a beginner and have a large RC Crane project on my desk.
