Matt McWilliams 2ea7cb2e8d Created the placeholder for the contact_printer dev server. This will accept a post from the ESP32 with a report after each run. This data can be used in developing features. 2024-02-24 14:59:41 +01:00

Matt McWilliams 7981250d5a Changed from dev mode to working mode. Lamp turns on after 24 frames. Will make it configurable. 2024-02-24 14:04:16 +01:00
Matt McWilliams 39650094bd Code is in test mode for getting approximations of the motor speed with no load, under single strand of film load and with 2 films. Should be possible to create a control loop to maintain a roughly-accurate speed. 2024-02-23 00:31:14 +01:00

Matt McWilliams 7c8be86fb8 Motor speed is now calculated (flawed). Tests can be run on various PWM speeds, resolutions and with and without loads to determine the ability for the printer run at maximum speeds. 2024-02-21 22:48:08 +01:00

Matt McWilliams db1f8c4100 Make some sacrifices in the DriveMotor class to make it non-generalizable. Working towards porting timing functions from encoder proof of concept sketch. 2024-02-21 16:47:53 +01:00
Matt McWilliams 1aca2dd5c0 Motor behavior is stable. Discarded one of the L298N boards: now we can run the drive motor off one channel and both takeup motors off another. DO NOT USE LESS THAN 2A. Using 1.3A the motor controller board draws too much and shuts it down. Removed the rerences to Picture/Stock and am just using takeup. All progress at Worm. 2024-02-20 22:11:13 +01:00
Matt McWilliams a39ba5c94d Test second set of pins 2024-02-20 12:17:39 +01:00

Matt McWilliams 937cb85141 Rename encoder motor files drive motor (still broken). 2024-02-17 13:06:51 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 1056e81b82 Fill out EncoderMotor methods and add variables to be used to calculate position + speed and used for PID. TODO: rename class because it is not a generic EncoderMotor class, should instead be DriveMotor. 2024-02-17 13:05:43 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 1c1978107d Move all ramp variables to class members. To move the ramp behavior to the Loop() method there will need to be a global timer. 2024-02-17 12:17:26 +00:00
Matt McWilliams 344e1e8d1d Implement pwm ramp up with ledcWrite(), not analogWrite(). Use directional pins to start in particular direction and stop in both. Ramp behavior should move to loop so that it is not blocking loop behavior. 2024-02-16 18:57:57 -05:00

Matt McWilliams 4917080517 Frame has been resized and new panels have been drafted. Still not perfectly parametric and the const variables are getting out of hand. Needs a refactor at the top and then throughout panel modules first, removing magic numbers. Rounded panel corners at frame corners (one per panel). Printing this draft for possible revision if needed. 2024-02-04 23:33:15 -05:00

Matt McWilliams ffbbb7c3ce Work on frame resizing. Still trying to massage reel distance without cutting aluminum. Wanted to do it tomorrow but will wait until next week after doing tests this weekend. MAYBE: a module that generates a tool for generating a guide that shows how far reels will sit from one another. 2024-02-02 00:25:51 -05:00

Matt McWilliams 6321367c97 Create EncoderMotor.cpp. Compiler error on analogWrite using ESP32 build target. Without it the ledc* functions are unavailable. Will pull ESP32 build process over from meterlite. 2024-01-31 23:08:10 -05:00
